No, everything is cool here. We have some decent drainage here as even though I am at the bottom of the hill, there still is a little more downhill slope between Bruce and Eastern. I was up at 3 am this morning getting some lightning shots. Here are a few.

That last shot the Multi-strike; I think is the best of those. But I like multi-strike photos anyway. Glad neither of us got washed away.

It was. I live within 30 yards of one bank of the Flamingo Wash. I was preparing to bug out.
My electric wheelchair don't work underwater.
