My basement had 7" of water about 5 weeks ago. That's why I have contractors here now. They dug up my basement and installed a waterproof membrane and drainage pipe. They had to tear off my front porch and back deck to be able to get at the basement so they built
ones. The place is starting to look like a home again.

Did they put in weeping tile and a sump pump?
 
After 2 drizzly, cool days (1.3" in rain gauge or 3.3 cm), it's sunny and milder today.

Hollydolly - that house looks like my basement 7 weeks ago!
heartbreaking isn't it ?.. and many of these people have this happen to them on an annual basis ..or sometimes as often as when it rains very heavily.. could be a couple of times a year
 
High today of 70 with light rain & winds this morning. Winds & heavier rain from the storm arrived around 3pm. So far today we have had
1 3/4" rain with winds around 28 mph & gust up to 50. The winds will be slowing down around 8pm, but the rain will continue until midnight.

EDIT: The weatherman said we are in a Tropical Depression. Lots of power outages in the center & southern portion of the county.

Today was 15 degrees with isolated showers
When we left today it was raining but not where we walked and when we came back it was raining again. We saw two full rainbows on the way home from our walk. One was in the city

and one about 10 minutes from our house. The second rainbow was getting used as a backdrop to a wedding ceremony. IMG_6111.jpeg
 
Still getting rain today from the storm. Rain gauge since yesterday morning is up to 3". They were warning of potential flooding because we have been in a drought, but there has been a problem. We even don't have standing water where we usually have it. The ground is really dry, but it's still been able to soak it in.
