You sure dont think about heavy rainfall during the month of August, which is one of the hottest and humid months we usually have each year, but in 2023 we had heavy rainfall and serious flooding. When it rains that much, I have to stay up at night and make sure the basement doesn`t flood, that the sump pump continues to run just fine, makes for a long night. Here is how my backyard looked that night, it was all the ditch, fifty feet behind my shed, could do to carry the water from my area as well as water a few blocks upstream, down to the start of Winsel Creek. I believe this was the deepest on my shed I have seen it rise…just a few inches deeper and it would have been inside my shed….
