We live on a hillside, and I have to make sure that our French Drains and the dry creek made into a huge French Drain stay functional. If not we might end up in the flood plains a mile or so down stream.

It started pouring yesterday at about 2 pm and rained hard until early this morning. I heard water flowing at about 4:30 am and got up to check the drains. The drains were fine, our back yard irrigation and drip system had malfunctioned and was watering the lawn. Just what the yard didn't need. I unplugged the whole system and called the yard maintenance office and left a message to them to leave it unplugged until it gets dry again.

Right now we have clear blue skies, the first in about two weeks.
