Building an Ark

By the time I got home this evening around 6:30pm (yes, too many long days at work!) the rain gauge had recorded 3.25". Downtown a record rainfall of 1.86" was set today. They are talking about more thunderstorms and heavy rains tonight. Many rivers and streams are flooding with flash floods likely this evening. Sigh...I looked at the yard and some of the pea gravel had been washed down the yard with large ruts formed in the soil. A LOT of soil got moved to the lower right portion of the yard next to the storm drain. Looks like I'll be moving dirt this weekend!
