This afternoon the skies opened up.  After our initial happy rain dance, it became very apparent this was anything but a happy event. 

Our yard is flooded, our pool full of mud, and our berm of rip-rap is undermined and downriver somewhere.  The repair time and cost will be high and mostly uncovered by insurance as we are not in a flood plain and therefore do not have flood insurance.  Deep cleansing breaths.  (Actually, ragged shuddering gasps and a break the rule Kiltlifter.)

Finally, a photo of the aftermath (oh but joy it is forecast to rain throughout the night) and a few very amateurish videos.  Give YouTube time to do their upload thing. 

 You know, despite it all, we all still very blessed.
