Well, we are pretty well saturated here in SW OK. I wish I had taken photos of my horse motel with the sheets of water running under/around it. This was taken this morning. It has been unusable for my horses ever since it started raining. On the left you can see the embankment that is the pond. The pond has been dry for two years, and barely there for 5. We did not remember that the overflow went around this side of the pond when we moved the horse motel to this spot a few years ago. What a mess. Of course, this whole rain cycle is unusual, but we need to figure out whether to move the motel or build up inside with deep sand. It's in a convenient spot for use, but if this overflow-thing is going to happen often we'll have to move it. There was a whole salt block in there before the rain. No sign of it now. The only thing that kept the rubber feed tubs from floating out when the rain first started was the metal rim of the structure. You can see they are not inside any more.
The motel is anchored with 4 mobile home anchors, so it is a big job to move it.
The only dry spot for my horses is under a small shelter in the corral. This has been a challenging few weeks!
