It has been raining for WEEKS!! We live in Mobile County and our 10 Acres is in Baldwin County; the 2 Counties sit side by side. Both are swamped!! It just won't stop raining, it rains every single day. This has gone on for more weeks than we can count which means everything is wet, mushy, sloshy, isn't draining and is flooding. In addition to the rain we're getting from the sky, we are in the southern flow pattern of the rivers from North Alabama, which means we're getting ground water coming in as well so we have flash flooding going on.
No one can get anything done. Yards are grown up, there's a few lucky souls that happen to be off work for the few hours it stops raining and they jump on their mower and get their yard cut. Some of us are still at work at that point and like our 10 Acres, its a little too wet for the weight of the tractor to bushhog and the tractor gets stuck right now.
Even if we finally had our culvert pipe, Jeston couldn't put the driveway in, it's too wet.
Developers, like my boss, are basically on hold for everything. The guys he hired to do things like push dirt to build a road, perc tests, bushhog, surveying.....it's all at a stand still until the rain stops for more than 1/2 a day.
Unfortunately the rain hasn't cooled it off much, so we're not only wet, but we're humid and the air feels thick when you breathe.
I guess it could be worse.....we could be preparing for a hurricane to make landfall....(knocking on wood now LOL)
