Anyone experience flooding this year. Seems the US is getting “flushed” with rain, ect . We are expecting flooding this year - starting now - river going from 10ft to 18 feet by end of month. When that high we are surrounded by water and boating is a must if one need to get out for supplies. We will have a few more floods thru the months until end of july.

We had bad flooding at my cottage a few years ago. It was so bad it took out large banks of ground, ripped out stairs and docks. Even destroyed a few cottages. We were among the lucky ones as it only ripped out our dock. We also had out boathouse holding a few feet of water. It was crazy.

Yes. My house is built over an underground river so i put in a pond and regraded everything to get the water flowing as far away from the house.
Works too well, sometime it overflows and the entire far back shimmers in the sunlight.

We are on a hill up away from the water so that helps. We get tons of water flowing done the hill from above our cottage bit have a large trench dug across the back of the yard that directs the water around us. Works well.

Ouch, that’s horrible.
We have flood warnings most years with the melting and rains of spring.
Last May the family rented a million dollar home along the Yellowstone River for 10 days in Paradise Valley. It was paradise…
3 weeks after our departure the flood came, our jaws dropped as we saw the house we rented getting ravaged by flood waters on TV and online. I believe the house was repaired.

I was in El Salvador on the second story of a hotel when the ocean rushed in and flooded the first floor. It was a hell of a storm.
Farmers fields destroyed by salt water everywhere.

in the last picture you’ll see a patch of grass in the top right corner of the pic. that is half the grass runway visible and on the other side of those trees is the river. the creek empties into it and floods back to the hangar almost every year. this one was a record.
