Well, We have had around 12" of rain, with more in the forecast for tomorrow and Thursday. My back yard, more recently re-named Lake Ancona, will soon become a mosquito breeding sanctuary and frog raising compound what with ten inches of standing water and a saturated watershed. We are in the St. Johns River 100 year flood plain, which means that eight to ten feet down there is a layer of clay/marl that is only semi-pervious, so heavy rain saturates the land pretty quickly, requiring ground water to travel laterally instead of straight down. The last time this happened was after Wilma blew through to our south, but gave us inch an hour rain for thirty hours. We got nearly three feet of rain in one fucking day, and I had a foot of water in the house. We cut the drywall three feet up and replaced it with Du rock:flail: and ripped out carpets, replacing them with ceramic tiles, but floods are still a pain in the ass. We're about four inches away from needing to build a fucking ark and having to gather up animals two by two.....:judge:
