 ??? So far we've had a wet summer and fall up our way. My Central & Southern FL Valk Brothers seem to have had plenty of rain too.  :o I understand that ya'll are also at above average rainfall amounts ??? The aquifer is full which is a good thing. You all stay safe with what appears to be a lot more rain in the forecast.  ;)

Yes, was just talking to my wife about that last night, usually at this time of the year our yard is alittle more in the dry side  :)

I am the lone man in this 92,000sf building (Gov Holiday today) and the rain amounts coming off the roof would create a water slide.  We are on Sarasota Bay and the waves are strange.  very calm with small ripples not what I would expect with the Hurricane getting near. The building is as ready as it can be now.     I will take my holiday day time tacked onto a weekend  :cooldude:

Got both propane tanks filled, filled camper tank with water, 18 gallons of fuel in the shed, all 3 generators ran the previous day, batteries and flashlights ready. 
And never lost power, but I was ready.    :cooldude: :cooldude:

Raining for two days here.

Biggest flooded backyard of the year.  Sump pump running like mad.

Submersible pump set up at midnight (backyard to street gutter), and ran till 3:30, then I had to get some sleep so unplugged it.  

Just got up and ran it again.   More coming.  

I like rain, but not Biblical rain.  I'm repenting the best I can.

Jerry,
   I'm gland you and the building got thru the ugly weather. I hope all is well elsewhere :roll: maybe the Zypherhills Cottage ???

Eddie, your preparedness is applauded. Sounds like what I've done twice this Hurricane season. It is good practice. See you in Zypherhills.  :coolsmiley:

:D Wow, Crazy rain Jess. We have had our share this year too. I hope you guys start drying out Friday.  :coolsmiley:

I stayed real dry (with my gear), however the 10 million leaves I have to clean up need to dry out before the work begins.
