The Great Monsoon Of 2008


So, wow. It was already a pretty wet summer, but once Mr. H. Ike added his bit to the situation we got some serious rain! It was interesting to see how the area handles that much rain, something we may not see again for years.

Turns out I'm really glad we got the house on high ground. All that rain from our property made some wet ponds and a stream in my neighbor's yard as it worked it's way to the drainage canal. Once there it formed a pretty good river as it ran away from us.

Our hills did great at keeping the water well away from us. Here's a scene looking out our window during the deluge.

Every time I see flooding I'm so glad I live on a hill surrounded by sandy soil!
