We got PELTED with rain today. The guy that lives behind me...his back yard doesn't drain very well. Wait, I take that back...it drains very well, RIGHT IN TO MY GARAGE!!! It is detached, and almost against the back of my property line. When we get hit hard with rain, it is like nothing you've seen before. I am from "up north", as they say around here, and it is no big deal to the locals. We broke the December rainfall monthly total for all of recorded history like two weeks ago.
It will dry out, it just burns me up sometimes.
