“You have to jump up, start preparing blankets, towels, whatever you have to do,” she said.
The backyard has a slope, and she said water runs in from the field behind her neighborhood. She has drains and a pump, but they have limits.
“It’s usually the worst when it’s flash flood and it’s extreme, coming all at one time, the pump can’t keep up,” said Meyer.
