Carolyn's area got hammered with rain last night.

Got it again this afternoon. Pictures to come :'(

And again it is starting to rain at 8:00pm.......

For a few more pictures of the afternoon downpour for our saturated ground...

running down the road to the next catch basin that is already filled to capacity from the ravine behind our house

the overflow from the ravine that the catch basins can't carry. If you look closely I just caught the very beginning of the process, it is just arriving at the end of the garage and farther down is the previous picture... the catch basin at the end of this yard (out at the road) is the water coming from the ravine behind our house.

This is a driveway back to the catch basin. It is eroded and all of the washed out stone is down in the neighbors yard.

I have more pictures, but I need to go to bed.

 

You have certainly had more then your share of bad weather. I sure hope it all turns around real soon.

 

Thanks Donna. I am praying that maybe it can get to San Diego....Please Lord! they need it much more than we do..Amen.

 

Wow, So so sorry Carolyn....This is terrible. Can I do anything for you....?

Give me a call if I can do anything....

Gather yourselves up...and replant...

 

Carolyn, what an awful situation, I hope it stops soon and dries out so you can get back to some resemblance of normal. When you mentioned the River Styx I was thinking the Egyptian river between the living and the dead. Then I looked at the satellite picture and found River Styx Road. Still the analogy between living plants and being washed to their doom seems to fit. Will the season be too short to recover the lost growing time?

Good Lord!!!

Just shaking my head over those pictures. You poor thing, that's just awful.

 

We'll be okay. I still have plenty left to replant with. Thanks for the thoughts Barb and Ronni! I appreciate it.

Jerry,
yes...river styx runs alive and well 1/2 mile from home. River Styx road is 1/2 mile to the west of us and the River Styx is 1/2 mile to the east of us and River Styx the "village" is 1 mile-ish to the north of us...it consists of a corner market for beer, ice cream and lottery tickets.
