Out of drought conditions and into a flood zone in my neiborhood in the Upstate. houses behind me have flooded 2x in the last 6 weeks. Bought this place new 5 years ago, and it's never came close to this level before...
It has seemingly rained every other day since Christmas of 2012. Very wet winter with not much snow and sleet with the warmer winter temps this year but much rain in return. Very wet spring also with seven straight days of rain at one point and now a very wet summer. Parents of school kids out on summer vacation who usually would love to have the teenagers get out of the house during the summer months to the community pool, ball or band practice or to the parks etc must be really starting to fell the stress of having the kids in the house so much. Yards and gardens are a constant struggle to kept mowed and weeded and sometimes you feel like you are just chasing your tail trying to keep up with the grass, gardens and flower beds. People are starting to really become discouraged with the rain ruining the summer and are wishing for a drying out period at least for a few days to accomplish some outdoor activites before the we might have to fight the rains again.
