During the height of the storm, I remembered I'd left my car windows cracked. When it stopped pouring and gusting long enough to venture outside, I saw this:
West Upas Avenue is under there somewhere.
And in the backyard, another sea change:
The runoff flooded the outside tiled patio and seeped under the corner of the house and into the addition (aka tea room). I dragged furniture, camping equipment, and boxes out of the way, but the water came in other places as well.
My project: mopping up and Raiding the insects that took refuge inside. Mike's project: repair/redirect rain gutters. Maybe get some trash cans to catch runoff and use for irrigation.
I miss being a renter. Sigh...

That's the downside to home ownership: you're the landlord. When something needs to be fixed, you're it! Ain't it grand?
On the upside, though, think of the tax benefits.
