It flooded here on the 7th. We received 9 inches of rain! Thankfully our home was not affected. Some in our area were though. Because it was such a huge amount of water in a relatively short amount of time, draining was the main issue.
It began raining at 6 a.m. About 8:30, I heard Lucy yelping. I knew something was up. When it rains, she'll go in her house in her pin and camp out. She doesn't mind. The path to her pin always floods and gets super mucky, but she's never had a problem with that before. As I looked out the window, she was trying to jump over the fence and then she was trying to dig out. Unfortunately she was just treading water. The rain had begun to rise quickly and starting flooding her dog house. It was pitiful. I rescued her. She spent all day in the house until Justin got home.
This video was taken after I got Lucy in:
Justin took her on a boat ride! The rains had cut back considerably, so Justin and Lucy decided to survey the flood waters in our neighborhood. Of course Justin had a great time; I think Lucy did too. I took pictures and then posted them on our local news website. Justin titled it "Man, dog, boat." It got tons of hits and we received emails and phone calls from friends saying they had seen the picture.
The waters quickly receded. Our neighborhood is at the top of a huge hill, so the water was gone within hours. That evening we were able to take a walk. Since then we've had even more rain. This Saturday we received an inch and it rain/sprinkled all day yesterday. Today though, it's chilly, windy and sunny. Juliet and I are about to take a stroll. Have a lovely day!

I saw your pic on WSFA's website because at work that day all we were doing was looking at the coverage of the flooding around town. :-)
