I'd say it was getting ridiculous, except it bypassed that sometime this morning.
The only decent news out of all of this is that I think my basement leak issues may be due to major leakage through a window well. I went downstairs this morning to check for what I assumed would be major seepage, and saw about 2 inches of water visible above the edge of the window and a lizard paddling helplessly trying to find something to perch on. I went out to bail water out and save the lizard (along with a buddy). Found that if I bailed enough water, the leaking stopped, and when the ground absorbed the water, the leaking stopped. There is a great deal of old caulk around that window. I wonder if my leaking issues will cease if I clean it up and recaulk? I didn't believe that enough water could come through that window to account for all the leaking, but I am perfectly willing to be proved wrong on this one.
We were under flash flood watch this morning. I don't know if we still are.
I've been dealing with two wound-up dogs all day. They don't want to stay outside because of the wet, so King chases Gaby around the kitchen table and the rugs go flying. It's insane.
They're taking a break now. God knows how long it will last.
Drought apparently IS normal, for the past thirty years. (Last year we had a record nine inches of rain, after many years of two and three. Arizona gets five or six times our rainfall.)
