I remember when the real serious floods back in '96. I can only imagine how bad it must be with all the rains lately.

Surprisingly, it's not too bad...I will say we have had a lot of rain the last couple months...May we were over 2 and a quarter inches above average...the ground is so wet to the south it can't take any more rain...however we're below average this month by 2/3 of an inch.
