Too Much Rain

8-6-17

We started out with a really wet August. On August 6th, it started raining about 10 am and rained all day, sometimes it was a real downpour with thunder and lightning.
See it pouring out of the rain gutter in the top picture?
The top picture is down the street in Shoemaker's field.  The middle picture is the trees between our driveway and Anderson's, huge puddle there.  The bottom picture is the parking lot by McDonalds and Ridleys. (I did not take this picture, I found it on Facebook.) Definitely a lot of water in just a few hours!

This is my parents house, the rain gutter had a leak and allowed the water to drip into the window well and leaked into their basement.  Blake got it fixed the next day, so it won't leak like that again.  We have had more rain during the rest of August, over 3 1/2 inches, the average is about 1/2 inch for the month.
