Storm of the Decade

The news keeps calling it the Storm of the Decade and I think I would have to agree with them. It has been raining pretty much non-stop since last Thursday and we are going a little stir crazy. We have been watching the pool closely, as it rises higher and higher and the drains are unable to drain fast enough.
Last night the wind howled and rain poured down, keeping us up quite a bit. When I woke up early this morning, I could see the pool had reached its limit. It has been high in years past, but never to the top!
After another solid hour of downpours this morning, it finally overflowed. I'm not panicking yet...the concrete drains seem to be doing their job, but we have buckets ready and our Ark built just in case!
