Whewwwie! That was quite a storm. Our house is on a hill too, with drainage down both sides (which we’ve sort of improved with the addition of our new patio) but WHEW! Couldn’t even begin to hold that volume of rain. Poor kids were scared to death (ok, Missy C was scared and crying, Matey Moo was electrified with all the excitement!) and I had to run around and quickly stick towels in all the basement windows because water was trickling through all of them…yikes!
Well, all’s well that ends well, the kids are in bed, almost asleep, I opened a few of the windows and the rain is just a trickle….but whew…that was a bit of a scare.
I’m back to work on my fairy with a nice glass of wine.
