We received almost 3 inches of rain. My front walk and about a third of may garage had water due to backup from a slower drainage point. Other than impacting my meeting because of folks caught in traffic, that was pretty much it.

We got pounded by the wind storm last fall and bought a chain saw to cut up all the large tree limbs, so let me know if anyone needs to borrow it.

I know what you are talking about. Our driveway is downhill toward the garage. Originally, I installed a drain pipe to the golf course (2" PVC) but had to replace it with a 4" PVC. I have a grate over the opening, and with all the leaves beaten off by the hail, it came into the garage.

The biggest problem with that is, I have used carpet in the garage so it's softer on the feet. Big problem now.
