A Deluge (Minus the Swedes*)

All the rain from the last three weeks resulted in flooding. 

Including our basement although it wasn't much water and it didn't cover the entire basement.

The above photo shows the drain in our backyard with the cord attaching a "new and bigger pump" which helped stem the flow into the house. 

People in Southern Poland have lost their homes, their crops, their livestock, etc.

The Wisła rose to scary levels...bridges and roads were closed.

It is still raining but not constantly. It looks like we made it through relatively unscathed.

And yes, we know how lucky we are.
