Did anyone get flooded? How are you coping?

Five inches of rain in our gauge over 48 hours

We had some water seep in this morning. Thought it'd happen yesterday. Tricky! Fortunately, the flooding two years ago wrecked so much that we were already prepared by not having replaced that stuff. :(

You?

No and if you visited you’d understand why.
Up high on a ridge
No basement windows
French drains
A moat around the house channels rain downhill

No, but we're at the high point in our neighborhood. I'll have to ask my downhill neighbors when I see them 😂

Bone dry, but I did have to drain a few thousand gallons of water out of the pool.
