Once I dropped a tarp on the ground and redirected the flow, it was a matter of the aftermath which meant emptying the shop vac every 15 minutes till about 5am. Needless to say I stayed home from work today.
Tomorrow will be a different story since the local river close to my home is cresting at its highest historical reading. Unfortunately the storm drains at the entry to I-44 where I get on to go downtown tie to a creek to that same river. Last time we had serious flooding that intersection was underwater. It may take an hour or more just to get to the Interstate tomorrow if the closing occurs.
