Today we had the hardest rain I have ever seen here, after 30 minutes everything was flooded. The highway home was going about 20, the photos below are taken in my neighborhood, luckly we built on a hill and had no damage.

We prayed for rain last year, guess we need to be more detailed next time.

Been there done that. We had 22" here last month in about two days. Got hit again this weekend with 12" had 2" in an hour on Monday and a tropical depression today. Nice thing though is no hills to channel it down. Although alot of it just sits there for weeks. At least we get to enjoy our state bird... the skeeter!

Looks like you will have to put a set of pontoons on your mowers. I'm not very far from you, between W.S. and Statesville. We have had alot of rain lately also, but luckily no flooding yet. It seems like alot of days the storms are staying south of our area and hitting your area, then going straight up I-85 towards Greensboro.

Love to see it raining this year compared to the last 4 years though, just wish it would quit a one or two days a week so we could begin to catch up, or at least rain at night instead of 3pm in the afternoon. It makes it rough when you miss a few lawns one week, then go back the next week and the grass is half way to my knees or higher. Some or our lawns were so wet last week we had to use a 21" push mower on the whole lawn instead of the walk-behind. Ground was so soft, you could feel your feet sinking just walking on it.

It's been so nice here all summer. Like springtime. Sorry to hear you're getting the other end of the weather spectrum.

BTW,what's that cycle? I can't quite make it out plus I'm not all that knowledgable about cycles. Looks like it'll be sitting for a while with all that rain.

I ride a Honda Magna myself.

Ray you have quite a photo album, I remember you posting that dried up lake last year. How full is it now?

That system is the same one that sat above us and spun for a week but it rained at night and on the weekends. Our lawns are growing at about 4" a week for fertilized lawns. I can literally cut every 2 days here.
