Anyone having high water problems?

[Dwayne:)]

I'm sitting at around 750ft elevation here so no issues.
I know some of y'all live lower. I'm sure Lady Hunter is bailing water by now.

I live on high ground but my pond is 30 yards from my basement door. I raked the spillway clean to make sure it’s draining and doesn’t back up. It’s going to be a lot of flooded roads around though.

I’m as high as you can get and still be on the ground in this county.

Water is starting to back up down the hill though.

Green river will get in my yard but won’t get to my house.

Been running 2 shop vacs for the last couple days, can't fix the crack from the ice storm till we can string together enough warm dry weather for the epoxy to cure

Rockcastle River got high by me, but it’s crested and dropping without doing too much damage on my road.

Crick got pretty high behind my house but didn’t crest the hill. Has gone down a couple feet already. Heck, it’s sunny and 65 here after the rain! A mess tho!

River was out this morning but not yet over the road. Hope it stays off the road but I have my doubts. Highest I can remember it getting was back in spring of 97. State has replaced the primary bridge I use and raised it buy the roadbed after you cross it is 4/6 feet lower and there isn't any driving through that.

My favorite song for this is wish it rain (temptations)

Water can’t get to my house,roads washed out again.

This is about 2 miles from my house. Normally that creek is 20’ wide and 1-2’ deep. It’s rolling about 15’ deep and 150 yards wide. I’m sitting at 950’ of elevation, so I’m good. But some of them in the valleys are dealing with flooded basements and foundations.

Casey county flooding pretty good

We don't have to worry about flooding, but we have a sump pump in our basement that we've been watching very closely. They aren't meant to run continuously for 72 hours like ours has. We had one to burn out about 25 years ago and we had about a foot of water in our finished basement. We were lucky - there was a plumber at our neighbors house and he installed a new one for us before our basement filled with water like a couple of neighbor's basements did. Our insurance agent seemed so happy to tell us that we weren't covered.

We now have a back-up sump pump that runs on water pressure in case the primary burns out or we lose electricity.

I used to put those sump pumps in with firehose bag pipe in critical valve stations. Thataway when they went out I could change the pump in about a minute, no joints to break down.

You might fire off your backup for a bit and let electric pump cool down running that hard.

2.3” + 3.3” + 3.9” = 9.5” three day running total.

 

[Nock]

Currently at 13.5” total. Looking at predictions for this afternoon and tonight I think we will hit 16+

 

[Drakeshooter]

Additional 2.5” today for an even foot so far
