I just can't believe this. I live in the southern tier of NY state.
We are experiencing DROUGHT!
The grasses are already browned out. The paddocks stopped growing (cept for the thistle and milkweeds) and the clay is cracked like the desert.
The stream fed pond is 1/2 empty and the stream bed is powder.
All this being said, this morning I woke up to an all-night rain. FINALLY. Supposed to get 3 days of intermittent percips.
I keep reading bout swamping 150 miles away in all directions.
Prior to this morning, we were as dry as a bone since April.

Can't you drain it somehow? I would suppose whatever moeny you put into it is a business write off.
In WNY we've been getting weather almost every 2-3 days like clockwork. I built my house last fall/winter when the weather was reasonably good. January was rotten and it hasn't stopped sense. I spent a good chunk of money at my house putting a gravity drain in my house to get the water from running the sump pump every 20 seconds. Best thing I ever did. No water trouble at all now no matter how much rain we get

SHHHHH! Don't tell him that. If he gets it to run off quickly, it will make my creek flood worse. /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif.................chim

LOL!
Unfortuantly I am just a lowley salesman and its not my decision. While it does flood, it drains pretty quickly.
Flash Floods comming your way!

I guess there's one benefit from living downstream. I'll know when to watch the Merchandiser for a Flood Sale /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif...............chim

Neil, I think you got lucky with only the 4". I heard on the news that areas just south of you got from 7 to 11".
