Flooding all over my area.

I was lucky with just some water damage. Others were not so lucky and lost homes, cars, etc...

Yes. Please send it down here.

We are lucky we had enough rain come through a month ago to nearly fill my water tanks. Now.... Not looking like we are going to get any anytime soon.

Just got done with a tonder storm. Just enough to wet the yard.

Sorry to hear but at least you're OK.

One of the guys in upstate Pa on the cub cadet forum got hit pretty hard. His 86 year old neighbor got washed down stream. That doesn't look like a good ending.

Super thunderstorms here as I type. My Droid is getting flash flood warnings every 10 minutes...

Sorry to hear, James. Hope it gets better for you up there.

We're getting shittons of rain here this year, too. Luckily, flooding isn't an issue in our area. It's all ending up in Lake Lanier, which is still a foot above full pool but has been as high as 2-3 feet above. First time I've seen the lake where it wasn't 6 feet or more below. Everything is growing like crazy, too...especially the weeds.

Pre-emergent FTW Lee

End of Jan and end of may

We're 6" OVER for the year. 4.25" over in Jun alone. We've not had a summer without a drought in almost 18 years.

This is the first year since the days of first owning my own yard, that it's not been brown and dead/dying in June from heat/drought

Hope you're drying out Prtcl!

Zoomy, are you on a well or county water as well? or do you ONLY have tanks? Do you rely on rainwater? Or do you have a tank on a trailer that you run to fill up then dump in your tanks at the house?

The more I hear about your house the more I wanna come just to see it and your "estate"

Tru-Green puts it down every Winter/Spring. It's not the grass where they are growing it's the landscape beds. Need to find something that kills the weeds without harming the plants (haven't found anything that doesn't harm the plants yet).
