We're done with the hurricane. We're mostly done with the rain. Almost all the water was drained out of the park. But now it's rising again. There is not enough rain going on to feed the amount of water coming back in. It's not an immediate problem for Judy and me, but grade matters. Here on the south side of the park we're a few inches higher. It's a different story for our friends on the north side of the park (about a block away). If it wasn't enough for them to get the attached carport blown off the top of their house, now they're being threatened by rising water from the bottom!
There is a lake/reservoir just down the road from us and an intricate web of canals all over the valley to provide water where it is needed for crops, and to drain the water away from where it's not supposed to be. Up until today, it was looking like the county had this whole drainage thing under control this year. Darn.
