Flooding!


Look into the field. You see the "river" flowing into Nate and Amber's. Though it's too cloudy to see it, that river runs all the way up toward the high school.


This is the "river" running from DJ's (our other neighbor) to Nate and Amber. They were getting water pouring in from two directions...not to mention what was coming from the sky.



The browner water is from the top soil in their garden (top right of photo) running into their yard. There was no stopping it. You can sort of see it cascading over the brick along the play area. It veered toward the other fence before it hit their house--thankfully. The prince and the king were ready to help dig a quick trench if it came to that, but it stopped raining, probably just in time.



After it went under the fence, it flowed down the lot next door to the street and into the storm drain... or what the drain could hold. Much of it just poured down the road--along with all the other water running down the hill.
