Southern Wisconsin received a torrential downpour in the last few days. It's horrible to drive in, it comes into open windows usually blocked by eaves, it creates pools where there were none before.
And it floods our house.
Not a lot (mom, dad, don't freak out), but enough to cause concern. Our basement is carpeted, and 4 girls, including me, sleep down there. One of the bedrooms had less than an inch of standing water on Sunday night, and lots of moist carpet. The ground is so sodden that it's seeping in through the foundation, which I've heard whispered may have a crack or two. I never would have thought that this would be a recurring problem in the past two years. Something they don't tell you when you sign a lease.
I wish we could set up defenses against the upcoming storms, like sandbags or something. Not like that would really stop water traveling through soil. We'll see if we survive this week. We may be afloat before you know it.
