Yesterday’s heavy rain led to flash flooding in our neighborhood. The top left picture is taken from a local tv station’s video. All the other pictures were taken by me early this morning. You might almost think nothing had happened. Almost.
We build, build, build and never really think about what's going to happen when we get those heavy rains- where is all the water going to go? This is really a good illustration of it! I'm glad to see the water level went down quickly but it looks like there's going to be some cleaning up to do after that torrent went through. Great collage!
@olivetreeann A local comment on FB pointed out that many of our city storm drains are 100 years old and in these original neighborhoods the trees hadn't proliferated as they have now. We definitely have to be vigilant at keeping the drains clear.
@allie912 Our community is quite old and our maintenance crew is really bad- not a good combo! There are storms where we've got literally waterfalls rushing alongside the road! We are also over building in this area so it's a mess all the way around.
