tribtown > Corey Lanier of Seymour submitted this photo and the following text: At 6:30 a.m. Sunday I woke up to let our dogs out and noticed a trail of water bubbling up from the two storm drains located next to our house. An ominous feeling came over me as I studied the flowing waters. Water usually goes DOWN a storm drain, right? I decided that it was probably just the result of some high waters caused by the flooding up north and got ready for church. When I left at 7:40, our street, Spurgeon Drive, was full of water roughly four inches deep! I was amazed at how much water was in my street in such a short amount of time. When I received two voicemails from my wife, I knew that the problem was only getting worse and I needed to head home. When I returned at 9:40, I was overwhelmed by the sight of our flooded street and the waters that rapidly approached the sidewalk in front of our house. After seeing images of devastated homes and families on the news the day before, I knew that we should not take any chances. We gathered up some of our most important items: pictures, albums, external hard drives, documents, furniture. When we left with our belongings, the water was over the sidewalk and in our front yard. We noticed while leaving the neighborhood that one street over, Bishop, was completely dry! The only explanation I could think of for this strange phenomenon was that the sewer drains had to be clogged up with debris from all the flooding in the surrounding areas. Thankfully when we returned last around 8:30, the water had receded and the sidewalk was visible.
