After raining most of the evening and almost the entire night, we awoke to see this sight in our backyard this morning. Our sump pump is still working virtually non-stop around the clock, emptying the basin about every 30 seconds. So far, no water in the basement!
I didn’t take this picture until a couple hours after we woke up. The water level has already receded some (though not much). Here’s another picture that shows off the original water depth:
I feel bad for Samantha, who, on her first day back from her 2-week work trip, decided to put down 20 bags of mulch over our newly prepped flower beds in the backyard. Almost all of that mulch is now floating away!
“The LORD sits enthroned over the flood; the LORD is enthroned as King forever.” – Psalms 29:10
That is just crazy. I pray that it dries up quickly and that you continue to not get water in you basement.
