Our house

The first day, Saturday. This is County Line road, driving to our house (on left, not in photo) and culvert down on the left. On the right, the water was rushing from our neighbors driveway.
This continued into Sunday. Our huge culvert in the front of the house did an awesome job...as you can see it was filled to capacity and never ONCE went over the road, however you can see the water that rushed over into our yard leaving debree, this water came from our neighbors driveway. There was so much rain it had no where to go.

This is the most water we've seen in our "dry" ditch in the time that we have lived here

Water back up all over this part of our property, flooding the entire ditch area and behind the trees is our chicken yard area that was all under water. All chickens were present and accounted for at role call.

This is our back yard.

So much water was coming from Wylie and Kelly's valley our culvert area filled up and overflowed the back yard for a couple of hours on Sunday. On Saturday night the water actually overflowed the culvert and washed onto our patio and came in our basement door a bit-getting the door mat wet. Sunday morning we had to create our own dam and divert the water towards the ditch...it kept the water flowing and never came back on the patio.

The day after. This is what happens when your neighbor's culvert can not take the volume of water...it backs up the water and leaves all this nice churt from your neighbor up stream all over in your front yard.

More churt in my yard! Time to borrow the neighbors John Deere again! That just can't stay!

Not sure how to fix this one...when the county originally put this culvert in 6 years ago, they actually installed it too low. But that has not been a problem until this rain!
