How bout some stories in the comments of this post as to how all my peeps are holding up in this latest round of rain.
I follow Matt Noyes on Twitter and he had been harping all week about the severity of the flooding from this latest deluge. He pretty much nailed it. Gotta give the man credit.

Good Morning Gloucester 
I have a river in my back yard that is not normally there but the stones and their shape are doing the job. Just came from pulling leaves so the water runs down the yard rather than into the house. You are right Matt Noyes was right on.
Thanks… avoid Hesperus Avenue… someone actually put a fake swan in the huge puddle.. very funny…

People from Scotland to Oregon asking how we are doing ( ah the media) . Well so far so good just a few towels worth of seepage in the basement room

There is a tiny underground stream that meanders down from Dogtown and has to go through my cellar before it makes its way to the ocean. Pump is firing off (or at least I hope it is since I am off island) frequently but there really isn’t anything down there that would get harmed unless it got to be about five feet deep. If that happens I will add some plastic swans.

We’re pretty okay over here at the ole pig farm (Nugent Farm) although our little brook grew to almost a river. But it all flowed into Good Harbor so, thankfully, no wet basements since they are mostly all finished as rec rooms or extra bedrooms.

Some water trickles and seeps into the cellar from the backyard. It used to run out the cellar drain pipe but the town repaved Main St., a few years ago, and broke the pipe. I had to get a pump to deal with it. The DPW won’t replace the pipe or return my calls.

Will,
Sounds like my house except I did not own it when in the 70s the Rockport sewer line came down Haven Ave and broke through the ledge so I could enjoy the small stream in the cellar. But I will gladly enjoy a sewer line in trade for my brook. I wonder if I could stock it with Rockport Koi? They definitely would not get out. That is, unless my pump fails.

An inch and a half of water in the basement with 2 pumps going, plus a small chimney leak. Hopefully we can seal everything up once things dry out. We found out the hard way when we moved in to keep things high in the basement!
