Storm of the Century

 
One week ago we experienced a storm like none I have ever seen. I rained for over 6 hours without stopping. Everything was saturated and flooding. Gilbert received about 4 inches of rain in one day! Our front tree had absorbed so much water weight that about 2/3 of it fell down. This created a lot of work for Sean and our neighbor. Our streets were flooded. Our park was filled to the top with water. Sean went into work an hour and a half late because of bad roads and delays. Our backyard flooded and water covered our cement patio. It was almost up to the sliding-glass door, but luckily, it didn't make it in. We were grateful that the damage was limited to our yard and not our home or our cars.
