It's rainin' men..

Ok not men but it rained cats and dogs yesterday. I think the total they gave us last night on the news for the day was 3.6 inches in Champaign from just yesterdays rain. Streets were flooded including Neil and the underpass was...unpassable, as it was totally flooded and a car was stuck in it. While we were out at the store we noticed that parking lot retention pond were REALLY FULL. We had a little bit of water in the basement but not much at all considering. It all drained to the sump pump rather quickly and the basement was totally dry by around 8 last night. Most of the water was running in from under the basement stairs...which means we'll have rip part of those up to see what is going on behind them. All in all though it wasn't bad, though part of the yard was a little flooded, it has since gone back to a normal level.
