Storm drain

Summertime storm hit tonight. Typical lightening, rain, wind and thunder, then I looked out and saw this.

The red arrow is pointing to my drain outlet bubbling like a mini geyser. Holy crap! I ran out to see the rest. Here's a close up of the drain. The red arrow here points to a spider I didn't see until editing the photo.


The drain at the detached garage was completely overflowing. The water was running completely over it, around the corner and through the flower bed like I didn't want it to. Damn! So much for all that work.

Then I saw this, and realized it was just "one of those storms." Everything was flooded.

We got about 2.5" in thirty minutes.

Now I don't feel so bad, though I don't like the water puddling in front of the drain by the attached garage.
