Dang. Intended to spend a relaxing evening in the Chat Room when it started raining.

And it rained, and it rained and it rained. Almost 8" of rain. We lucked out and had only a little come into our basement through a window well but it could have been much, much worse. We ran out to get a wet vac and had to drive through a foot of water or more and watched water being forced up out of the storm drains. Really bad news.

Thank heavens the electricity stayed on and the sump pump kept working.

Any of you other mid-westerners have any problem with storms yesterday or last night? Scarecrow ... IAKG? Anyone?
