Platinum Contributing Member ViperGTS/Z1 Posted August 1, 2022 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted August 1, 2022 Well.... these extremes are not surprising at all to me... some experiencing flooding... some experiencing drought conditions . A warming atmosphere will hold more moisture and dump extremes in areas. This has all been predicted and is finally coming to fruition. Only going to get worse ....deniers enjoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I barely made it out of town on my way to work. Water was over the hood of my car in one spot. This is the 3rd time my house has flooded this summer. Never happened in 42 years prior to that. Just fucking bullshit Bummer Ben, hopefully you can get that red pine up high enough to save it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Water is all receded , I’ll have a look in the morning and see if it got wet at all. It’s on 2x4s right now so 1.5” off the floor. It will be close whether or not the bottom got wet. I’m going to start putting it up this fall when things slow down a bit. I’ve got a little wiring left to do that’s holding me up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICG Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 This is a 50 or a 100 year storm.... Storm drains overflow with a 10 year storm.... Typically storm drains are minimally designed . Sorry to see the carnage.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bontz Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Damn dude!!! Sorry to see you having to deal with that .. water issues SUCK (been there, done that). I wish you could have "spread the wealth" a bit with that rain because we sure as hell could use some down here. I hope the clean up is minimal & the wood you've got laying out in the garage ends up being just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barely have had to run my sprinkler system in the yard. Been a great weather summer here as well. Evening out for one of the coldest springs on record.

Anler Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 When we first moved to Indiana there was a couple times we had flooding like that. Luckily for me my house is at the highest elevation in my neighborhood so I have never had to deal with flooding at my house but many of the low lying areas were impassible. One day I couldnt get home from work because all of the routes home were flooded. This hasnt happened for at least ten years now. Restoration contractors are going to make a killing in the next several months sound like. I hope you dont get any damage, Ben. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sleepybrew Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 we need rain as well, but no rain has made the hudson river free of debris. that is a nice position for the river to be in, but the streams in the woods are about dry. went for a mtb ride yesterday morning, dry and marbly out there. saturday trip on the river was stellar aside from being rough early. ride home from dinner was sweet.
