Last weekend we got rain from Friday through Monday. A state emergency was declared because we received more than 10" of rain in less than 72 hours. Talk about being waterlogged. Not only did it rain but the wind blew like crazy as well. So many umbrellas were abandoned on the roads because the wind got the best of them. One of my umbrellas was history as well. The wind got it and ripped it up and it was no longer good so it found a new home in the trash. This is a pond near my house. I saw a park near my house that was entirely under water. The playground area as well as the field. So many people's basements flooded. On Tuesday and the following days after as I would drive down the street you would see hose after hose out it the street with water pumping into it. The water was coming from the basements of people's homes. Many streets were closed for a few days because they were flooded. Which made for a difficult commute on Monday morning for many people.
These photos were taken on Tuesday, March 16th. Just to the left of the rock wall past where you can see the picture is where all the water was coming in from the pond.
This normally has a walk way that goes all around the pond.
Here you can see where the grass is covered by water.
Here you can see the sidewalk disappear.
I thought this was a pretty good view to see how the whole walk path on this side of the pond is completely under water.
