MAY 15th, 2009 - this is what our backyard looked like today during a major downpour. It actually got worse than this for a little while.
I know there's a name for it but I can't think of it - but it's when a channel is cut by the water to create a new path. That's what happened in this picture. The water was flooding in through from our neighbors yard through our strawberry patch - the channel actually doubled in size a few minutes after I took this picture.
We had hail also but the water is what mesmerized us. The river in our yard is actually a good thing because it keeps the water flowing right out of yard (and into our neighbors, right? - but then to the street and drains). We'd just never seen it quite like this.

Wow! That is some serious rain!
So glad it runs out of your yard instead of into the house.
