Please keep in mind that stormwater does have a destination.

RAINWATER SHOULD HAVE A DESTINATION.

Rain doesn’t become a problem when it falls.

It becomes a problem when the compound has nowhere for it to go.

A good layout gives water a sequence:

COLLECT → SLOW → INFILTRATE → STORE → OVERFLOW

Roofs collect it.
Grading moves it.
Swales and rain gardens slow it.
Soil and planted zones can infiltrate it.
Tanks or ponds can store it.
And controlled overflow protects the site when everything is full.

The important part is to design the whole water path before the first storm arrives.

Because drainage isn't an afterthought.

It is part of the compound's architecture.

The hit or miss storms will be rolling through our county over the next couple of days. They could produce localized flooding. Make sure you stay out of areas that normally flood. Also, if you live near a storm drain and it is covered with leaves and other debris feel free to clean it off. Our crews are out getting to as many as we can, but we can always use the publics help.
Remember turn around, don't drown!

Be careful in areas prone to flooding. Don’t drown, turn around.

Radar update: a good amount of storms off to our west and to our north have caused a good amount of downed trees and localized flash flooding. Storms are still expected in our area later this evening and tonight. We will have another update out in the next hour or two with the latest.
