I don't know how much it has rained so far this evening, but I looked outside after noticing some lights out the window. The freaking Fire Dept is out looking for "those in need"
I hop in my truck and head down to my friends house, just 1/2 mile down the road, to see if he needed help moving anything (he lives in a low lying area) but he already had everything on high ground. Good thing, as his yard was under 2 foot of water.
I return to my house, crack open another beer, and look down into my yard....
%$#@!%VCV@%^C~~!!!!!!WTF!!! My garden is gone!!
Well, I suppose it's still there, but very damp to say the least.
My driveway is what was left of a railroad crossing between two hillsides, so, except for the 30" pipe that runs under my yard and driveway, I basically have a dam.
This should explain better
I think I might need to start new plants
Update:
Garden didn't turn out nearly as bad as I feared. A bit of debris to clean up, but overall, not too bad.
In this pic, the driveway is off to the right, just a little above the road, the water was above the round, green, mulch thingy... Maybe this pic will help with the perspective thing
This is the stream after it goes under my yard and driveway, obviously, the 30" pipe only let the water rise up just a little, but man did that rain knock the hay down
