The Flood!!!

I don't know if any one here saw, but Lake county Ohio was hit HARD by rain last week. We got 10-8 inches in less that 24 hours.
Some people had to be rescued from the 2nd story of their houses because the water came so quickly and the Grand River's water level rose so quickly.
I had some flooding, only 3-4 inches in my basement some people I know had 3-5 FEET of water!! The reason for my flooding was becuase my sub pump couldn't keep up with the water comming in... any way... on to the pictures!

This was Thursday at about 5:00pm, puddles were just starting to form in places that puddles don't normally form!!!

Sierra thinks we should head to higher ground!

I spent from 1am-5am Friday trying to keep the basement from flooding, but it didn't work.

Sierra thought an indoor pool is cool!

My back yard turned into a lake.

I can't complain... these next few pics are houses that are only 6 houses away!!!

Wow that is scary, the picture with the washer and dryer and all the water scared me, I hope you have the electricity off down there.

I am sorry you are going through this I had no idea.

WOW!!!!!!!

I did notice the precipitation for your area last week while on weather.com. We didn't get a drop of that rain were I'm located, but, my sister ,south of us did , but, wow, not that much.!!! I got tired out just looking at all that water as I've had this happen in our basement as well.

Sorry for your mis-fortunate flood , but, I did get to see some remarkable pictures from all the rain that I read about!!!

And, of course, I always like to see pictures of Buddy and Sierra!!!! Their investigation of this clamity must have been such a buffer for you. Just look at em go!!!!!!! Terrific pictures and thank-you for sharing them.

Keep us up dated on your progress!!!!

Wow, what a awful mess.

Our local TV news had footage of the
flooding in the Cleveland area. I did think of you guys.Anywhere from
9 to 11 inches per hour is unreal. I hope things clear up soon. I'm glad
the pups took it all in stride.
