I Think We Should Build An Ark

We got 11+ inches of rain on Sunday.  CRAZY!!!  We had a lot of flooding in Atlantic Beach and on our street as well.  Both neighbors on either side of us have flooding issues and then their mulch, etc ends up in our front yard.  Flooding is always an issue here at the beach and in Jax in general.

This is from our neighbor's driveway looking towards our house.  Their driveway flooded and started flowing up into our yard.

Their garage flooded too.

Their entire back/side yard was flooded.

The next morning it was much easier to see the damage and debris.  Our pool overflowed from all the rain.  We need to drain some of the water out of it but we're waiting for the water table to drop a bit before pouring more water onto our soaked property!

I peeked over our fence into our neighbor's back yard.  It was a swamp - literally!

You can see the water levels on the tree trunks.

Remember the crazy neighbor who complained to the city about our drainage?  This is what you call Karma!

Their low spot was still holding water the next morning.

The view from the neighbor's side of our fence.

I guess this is what they mean when they talk about glass houses, huh?

I'm thankful that our drainage worked well.  The other neighbors are the low spot on the street.  Their mulch ended up in our front yard but that wasn't too challenging to clean up.  I just raked it out.  

I'm just glad we have flood insurance for the slim chance we'll get a tropical storm or hurricane!
