Lots of Water

It rained this morning.  Lots of thunder, much rain.  There's a retention pond by my building.  This is what it looked like about fifteen minutes ago.

I don't seem to have any pictures of it when it's empty.  It's probably ten feet deep or more.  The grassy "island" is the edge.  It stopped raining maybe an hour ago.

This is the view to the left, where the pond overflows into the street.  I'm cool with that because it means the water doesn't come up on my patio and into my condo.  However, it flows down that street toward the main street, and the sewers there can't handle the volume.

The lighter green tree in the center is in a vacant lot across the street.  One SUV went through about an hour ago.  The water was just at the bottom of the car.

It's raining again. 

Update from daughter who wandered out to check the situation:  a school bus went by and the water was nearly to the floorboards. 

Guess it's time to call work.  Thought I was going to be there early today.  I know better than to plan stuff like that!
