(34,135 posts)We've been getting consistent rain after a couple of wet summers. The lakes and ponds we pass regularly are all pretty full. One road which was getting flooded was closed last year so they could install new drainage pipes to direct water from a perched swamp into the stream that drains the swamp on the other side of the road. Last time I went that way the water in the perched swamp was already up to within 6" of the road level and the swamp on the other side was not any lower.
I expect by Sunday there will be spots with water running over the roads on the way to town. I'm not worried - I'm on a 200' above sea level hill, well away from the ocean and don't have to drive anywhere until next Thursday, if then.
On the other hand, my husband left to go to DragonCon this morning, ahead of the storm. He'll drive back Monday and probably miss the whole thing...
