Dry thoughts and prayers for all folks dealing with what does seem to becoming an annual plight.

Thanks! I have lived in this house since 1984, Mike. It has been this bad at my street only a few times over the years and that was tropical storms.
Our fine city is allowing any vacant or good-sized lot to be developed with multi-story houses you cannot swing a hammer in between. They will tear down a traditional home and build 4 or 6 on the lot.

Without any improvements in drainage and infrastructure, I fear things will only get worse.

Hopefully, I am out of here within a few years.

Ah well. It's something no matter where you live, I suppose.
