Rain and More Rain

I've been up since 3:30 am watching Big Daddy take measures to keep our flooded yard and pool from coming into the house. Imagine water lapping at your back door. He backwashed the pool, created suctions around the drains, and opened all the gates to make sure there was nothing damming the water into the yard. He drained the pool to just barely above the tile line.

It's now 6:30 am, and he just left for work, driving his Jeep down the middle of the road. Skibbie and I are watching as cars slowly drive through the flooded streets, making a wake in our yard.

.....And it's still raining, so much so that the pool water is halfway up the tile again.

p.s. Pictures to follow
