The great flood part 1

 Last month on November 08th the rain fell for the whole day in the north of Barbados. The lower areas of my garden had over 5 ft of water. I had only seen this happen once before in April 2011 https://benthamshouse.blogspot.com/2011/04/oh-what-night.html. Traditionally, November is a rainy month, however this amount of rain was not anticipated.




 Water came up to my shade house

 The bird feeder was under water
 My pots of dragon fruit were under water

There is a natural suck that takes the water away however this volume of water was too much so it drained very slowly. Too slow that after a week I had to call in the big guns for help.

 To be continued........

  1. Oh NO! What a mess. Water at this amount can be so damaging and challenging. I hope you got dried out okay.
