2.64 inches of rain in the past week and 5.15 inches of rain in the first 12 days of April. Soils are totally saturated with standing water and mud in swales. Rivers and streams are beginning to recede back into their banks after some of the worst flooding in over a decade. Parts of my yard are still so muddy and soupy in it difficult to walk in it. Grass is growing rapidly but some is quite stunted in swales, presumably due to lack of oxygen in the soil root system. Lots of clean up to be done in flood zones.
