Wow, Sundial, those photos are dramatic! Glad you haven't been affected directly, but I'm sure many, many people have. You don't say exactly where you are located. My in-laws are in Ohio and have mentioned scenes like your photos show. They are getting a little seepage in their basement but have everything up on blocks so are okay so far. Like bb says, we are in drought here in NC (tho' it's eased a bit recently thanks to some rains the past month). It seems that everyone either has too much or too little water. Hope it will all equalize soon. We'd be happy to take some of it off your hands (but not ALL of it!)
