The rain is was so bad here. Our yard is on a slope. The rain was puddling up and we had to take a hoe out and dig "trenches" to keep areas of our yard drained... and I thought water flowed down hill. We also had to do the same thing. Our basement flooded. The little drain hose/pipe thing got clogged with mud, so we had to dig more to drain it.
And I think I have figured out what makes it rain. Planting Sunflowers. Seriously. I planted some a few weeks ago, and we got a monsoon. I thought "Well the rain's been away for a while, I'm going to plant some more since my seeds got washed away" and it monsooned again. All I have is one dwarfed sunflower. The rain had begun to erode that flower bed away.
Brandon came home the other day and said he saw a blue-tailed salamander on the porch. I guess everything is water logged.
We need some sun!
