Yeah,I'm hoping this doesn't end up like a couple years ago with all the flooding around here. We had just moved into our first house a month or so before and it left us with a foot and a half of water in our basement, just missed killing our new washer and dryer. Some people near the center of our town had water in their basements almost up to the floor joists of their 1st floors and were pumping water out for days. My buddy just built his house and had seeded probably 1 1/2 to 2 acres of lawn and even rented a bale chopper and blew straw over the whole thing, and its all washing away now. He looked sick:frown:

I would like to say I feel bad for you but we had 2 weekends out of 4 months that it did not rain. 26 days straight with rain.

Now it is so dry I wish it would rain.
Was a cool summer never got over 95 grass was growing 6 inches in ten days.

We might get 2 inches of snow this year and be snowed in for a week. Ha ha

Anyone experiencing this rain? We got over 6 inches of rain IN THE PAST 24 HOURS, and it started longer than that ago (night of Wed. into Thursday). It is expected to rain through the weekend! How much are we going to get?? There is tons of flooding...here are some pics of the nor' easter:

Try moving to Florida, 2 and 3" an hour is not unusual. Ever see horizontal rain, that's fun.

Yeah that would not be fun! But scenes like this aren't either. We are up to around 9 inches now.

I've lived in Georgia 39 years and I've never seen a summer like we just had. I call it a monsoon season. It was good if you really like to mow and don't mind mowing in the wet. :laughing:

I mowed so many times in the rain I forgot how to cut dry grass.
Man it sure has been nice this week nice cool night and warm days. I bet we get some snow this winter like back in 93
