Time to Build an Ark?

The deluge from the sky that started a week ago seems to have abated this morning. Last night, as I was wandering around in my constant version of unbearable nightly body heat, the sky was flashing and booming--a real shaker in the pantheon of "scattered thundershowers."

My transplanted seedlings are drowning. Tomato and pepper leaves are turning yellow. Tiny mushrooms are springing up in the pots. Gutters overflow and water pours from the sky. And the forest? It's a jungle out there! Hopefully, it will dry out today enough to mow soon, or this place is going to start looking like Sleeping Beauty's overgrown castle.
