re: Are we going to just ignore how much rain we’ve been getting?

Well my backyard used to be pretty nice. The last couple years though it has rained so much, and my dog only really started digging since then. I'm to the point now that i can't even let her out back anymore without being on a leash or she'll trash the damn place even more.

The horses haven’t been turned out in weeks. I feel bad for the person who has to turn mine out the first time. He’ll be dangerous.

Too much rain caused high water and crawfish escaped the ponds so production was low, but then we didn't have enough rain which caused a rise in fuel prices and the trade war with China caused export/tariff issues which translates to high prices this year. Gonna be another tough one for those farmers.

There is no such thing as a "good crawfish season". It's always terrible...no matter the weather

We must have been on a very long break from the norm, if this nonsense since July is the norm, because in my 40 years I never remember consistent rain like this or what we had for most of 2017 up to Hurricane Harvey.
I would like to see 2017 and 2018
total rainfall compared to historical totals.

I am going to need some gutters installed after all of this rain. Any suggestions?

"It looks like to me we have a problem coming," said 5th Louisiana Levee District President Reynold Minsky. "If the rain continues in the Ohio Valley basin there's no place for it to go."
The 5th Louisiana Levee District includes about 350 miles of levee in East Carroll, Madison, Tensas, Concordia and Avoyelles parishes.
Minsky hasn't yet officially closed the levee to traffic, "but I'm asking people to stay off the levee unless they really need to be on it."
Minsky said the earthen levee protecting lives and property hasn't shown any visible signs of weakness, but it has been saturated since the fall.
"It's shaky as hell; like a bowl full of jelly," Minsky said. "It's got water running down every crack."
Minsky said he'd like to see the state close deer hunting season along the levee to diminish traffic.
The Mississippi Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks agency has closed deer hunting at its Mahannah Wildlife Management Area near Vicksburg because of high water and flooding.
Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries Secretary Jack Montoucet said his agency is monitoring the situation here.

"We've looked at it and our wildlife division has decided against closing any sections for now, but we're carefully monitoring it," Montoucet said. "We're on top of it."
Minsky said he will likely close the levee to traffic sometime next week.
The river is forecast to crest at flood stage in Greeville, Miss. (48 feet) on Jan. 16 and flood stage in Vicksburg at 43 feet on Jan. 18.
It's forecast to crest at 50 feet in Natchez on Jan. 19, 2 feet above flood stage, and 53.5 feet at Red River Landing, 5.5 feet above flood stage, on Jan. 20.
The river is forecast to crest at 36.5 feet in Baton Rouge on Jan. 20, 1.5 feet above flood stage.
Points south of Baton Rouge aren't currently forecast to reach flood stage.
"When it get to 43 feet in Vicksburg it's sure enough serious," Minsky said. "Most of the land (on the river side) of the levee is already flooded."
Recreation land like Davis Island and Diamond Island on the river side of the island will be almost completely flooded when the river level reaches flood stage in Vicksburg.
But just because the river rises above flood stage doesn't mean it will threaten people and property on the protected side of the levee.
Minsky said the levee offers protection of at least 58 feet.

It's been very El Nino like. Warm Pacific feed and a train of lows coming over the four corners to the gulf coast. After today though, as many have noted, it looks to dry out and be mild for a little while. Maybe get cold by the end of the month, but that prediction has been in the two-three week window for a good month+ and we've gotten mild and rainy.

My yard is basically a sponge now, it’s a damn mud pit and hasn’t been dry for over a month now

Seems we’ve received way more rain than normal since July then starting in November we’ve had decent rain events 2/3 of the time. The ground is so saturated and I’m fearful of what the spring will bring.
