Had a repeat the other day of last summer’s stone-steps waterfall in the back forty. Last July it took nearly ten inches of rain over several days to form the waterfall.
This week just 2.5 inches of rain did it, concentrated into a downpour of little more than one hour. Just like last time, I used six big ceramic floor tiles (left over from a previous job and stood up against the doors) to divert the stream from the glass doors to the patio. Worked fine, sending the big river curving away in a fish-hook shape. Only had a few soaked towels inside as a result.

If you could divert some of that water to our garden, it would be great 😉
Unless we could find a cloud big enough, most of it would get lost in the Atlantic and the Med. 😉
