We got nearly 10 inches in 24 hours.
Not exaggeration, not a typo, it just poured. After the first 6 or 7 inches of rain Harold took these pictures. I was too disgusted to go see, besides, I had blistered my hand badly over Memorial day pushing the lawnmower, so I am on the injured reserve list.
At night we got more rain.

| This is the driveway to the chicken coop and the horse barn. On either side the water is pretty deep. |
 |
| This is usually a dry pipe, now draining what used to be the hay field |

How do the dogs feel about this?

| Ralph is surveying the raging stream, where previously we had a trickle in deep banks. He's happy. |
Okay, she is clearly part frog.
The whirlpool:
This whirlpool formed over a 4 foot drainpipe that used to easily handle the overflow and run off from the pond. Not so that day. The water almost came over the drive, and washed out a big chunk of real estate. When Barley was alive, we were in a drought. The first time water flowed through that pipe he must have been five years old. He barked and barked at this new thing!

| This is water coming around the pond, off the CRP ground. The pond overflow is coming in from the right. |
