Recently, we have received a large amount of rain. Saturday morning, we received a panic phone call from Immer's mom. The water levels in the backyard were getting really high, and she was getting concerned. The water was also getting really high in the front yard, and covering the streets. So I called in to work, and we rushed down there to see exactly what was going on. This is what we found. The picture above is her backyard. Behind the trees is actually a 5 ft. fence, that is about 6 inches below water. Now, her backyard has a gradual slope to the fence, so the water is actually quite high. Luckily, nothing entered the garage, but it was really close. The photo below is the front of the house. She lives in the middle of a cul-de-sak....can't you tell? The water was about 3 feet high, and Immer's Durango and a firetruck were the only things that could make it through. When we finally tried to leave 8 hours later, Immer really had to push his truck and even shocked his car a little- but all is well now that it's dry. Luckily, the water never reached her house, but her neighbors all have basements and they were underwater. As of Sunday morning, the street was clear, and the water in the back was going down. On Monday, the water in the back was completely back to normal. We are very greatful that nothing got wet, and hope the neighbors don't have too much trouble cleaning up.
