There is a moat around my house
So. It's been raining like billio up here.
And my once picturesque little brook that runs through half our front lawn has now become a picturesque raging brook. It went from being about 2 feet across to like...4+ (possibly 5) feet aross. It's about 2 feet deep too now, and the water keeps rising every hour.
It's supposed to drain through a culvert that goes under part of our driveway too, but the culverts can't drain the mass amounts of water quick enough.
oh, my darling sister did a water check and it's now 28 inches high. Haha, oh wow.
ANYWAYS.
Back to the culverts.
They can't drain quick enough, so water is building up. The brook has swelled, and the area near the culvert looks like a frickin' pond. No joke. In a few hours, it will flood over that little part of our driveway.
There are mass puddles on the front lawn too. And a HUGE puddle (more like tiny pond) in our back yard.
We literally have a fucking moat around our house.
I feel like we should break out the catapult to ward off intruders.
Or maybe I should go patrol the ramparts (the ramparts we do not have, that is).
I hope the ducks that had taken up residence in our brook a week ago are alright.
