As many of you know we had an extraordinary, record setting, amount of rain in the month of March. Above is a panorama of our backyard. There is a pipe that runs under the pine trees to where Greg is standing on the right. None of the water in the back normally is there. 
The area to the left of the gazebo is all flooded.
We were lucky compared to many people. We got about an inch of water on Mark’s side of the basement. Enough to create a mess and lots of cleanup especially after we had just gotten everything dried up from a storm 2 weeks prior.
Below is an interesting photo. I posted a similar one about a year ago from a storm we had in 2005. That was suppose to be a 100 year storm. Hmm, it didn’t seem like 100 years had gone by. Typically the water is the width of the bridge not overflowing.
We took a drive around town and got these photos. It was a few days after the fact and the water was already receding. Click for a larger view.
