 Hail!!!

At 5:30 it hailed here...some of them almost golfball sized. It hailed a second time a few minutes later. The Patton Village Police Chief was on the local news via phone saying that the roof on the maintenance barn had been lifted up and then set back down. I have more storm pictures in case anybody needs them for their insurance company. :-/

The driveway culvert is below the water level, but you can still see the flow of water from right to left...

Heard the storm was really rough, some areas had power outgages. Is this flooding a regular ocurrance when it rains? Are the houses in Roman Forest prone to flooding? We will soon be new neighbors so your input is really appreciated. ???

Great pictures Lightbulb! Do you know if that house flooded? I noticed a pear tree down in the median of the Blvd this morning.

Trudy, drainage is certainly an issue in some areas of the community. In terms of actual damages, here is a site that has flood property losses for RF:

http://www.floodsafety.com/national/property/losstotals.htm

That site says that Roman Forest in 22 years had 14 flood claims, costing FEMA $231,543.49.

I think it was just so much, so fast. The water went down as fast as it came up on my street.
