There's a stream and several tributaries running through my basement

[lizziegrace]

It looks that way as the water is flowing in. More than half my drive way is underwater. The pasture is flooded, drainage ditches overflowing and more rain on the way.

Just hope the sump pump doesn't fail and/or the power doesn't go out.

I've lost 3-4 boxes of stuff stored down there as of the morning. I have no idea what I'll find when I get home.

2. frustrating as all heck isn't it?

I've got some water in my basement too. 61 degrees yesterday melted everything, then the added rain last night and snow this morning. I hear we have some more snow/freezing rain headed this way. Are you getting all rain?

3. I work in Franklin County

right now it's all rain. The weatherunderground.com site posted a winter weather advisory until midnight for Delaware County (where the farm is located). I knew it was going to be bad when the pasture was flooded yesterday before the rain even started. (Lots of snow melt from the fields.)

Stay dry and safe.

6. We have an advisory too, along with a flood warning

The river is already over its banks here. Hope it's not a repeat of the last time, several homes were flooded on that one.

Good luck!

4. We're dreading what our basement looks like when we get home

Just like you, we have an old farmhouse. We've seen more than a foot of water down there before.

5. Same thing in mine - the bad thing is my sister has her bedroom down there

I had to leave work to help clean it up. Loads of towels and gallons of water later, it looks like it's drying up...for now. I hope you can get home to check on yours soon. :hug:

8. Yikes!

You're welcome to stay here if you lose power/water... we have a sofa bed that is all yours. :)

Let us know how it looks when you get home... :hug:

[lizziegrace]

12. Lots of moving things around

you never know where the next "spring" is going to pop up. It's seeping up from under the concrete in the basement now.

I'll be home in an hour or so. I'll let you know.

9. Is it related to the artic ice sheet melting?

I knew that would come to bother us sooner or later.

[lizziegrace]

11. Yeah

I hate when global warming impacts ME! ;-)

[InternalDialogue]

13. Oh, bother!

Just like last year, no?

I hope it's all manageable when you get home, lizzie.
