The rain we've had this season has ended the drought, but now we face the flip side of the coin - We cannot handle this water. Here in my hometown streets have been closed for weeks at a time, and in other areas some major roads are closed due to mud slides and roads collapsing. My roof is leaking and took out part of my ceiling; I cannot get the insurance company to even come out and look at it because they are swamped.
