Go Away, Rain

So. Is anyone else getting some weather, specifically wet weather? 'Cause you can have ours if you need it.
Jeez Louise. The bullfrogs are taking over. Man-made ponds and a real creek surround us. Critters,too.

Spouse, when we walked the dog tonight was marveling at the swollen Salt Creek overflow just down the street us. Houses--big, expensive houses are built right on a smallish river bank. They are all new w/in the past couple of years and we were gobsmacked at how close one was built into the bank. It was just a matter of time before this house would be under water and right now, it is. Not completely but lower areas of it have several feet of water up their sides.

Another home adjacent to Salt Creek, though it remains on it's foundation is in fact part of the creek now. The water rushing past it on both sides of the house--and it's runoff/river water. Big ick factor there.

Guess where the flood plain is. Hint: Food plains support life--may look more lush than other areas.

That's one of our ponds on the lower left--the smaller one--our pool matches it in tininess. lol.

Below--when hadn't rained in a while--can't even see Salt Creek and it's right there.

 

They have a couple of pumpers running but there's lots more rain to come so it looks bleak still.

Man-made ponds and a real creek surround us. We are fine, though are checking the basement of our condo. The condo's basement. Unless it has a problem and it really shouldn't our only worry is taking roads that are not flooded.
This is a very big storm.

I will walk over and see what's up tomorrow--with my camera.

We haven't had to much rain in the Boston area, although today was a washout. It sure beats snow.
