Rain, rain go away!

Living on the river has been lovely. But my little town is known to get flooded quite often so when it rains I'm always a little bit concerned, especially when it rains a lot.
Water levels in the river were very low last couple of months. On Tuesday evening it was maybe 20 inches deep. Then it started to rain and it didn't stop the whole day and this is what happened.


This is Wednesday morning...

 ...and in the afternoon.
 
And this is now

Thankfully, it finally stopped raining. We are ok, our sump pumps worked hard all night but except for some seepage in the basement no other damage was done. I hope our neighbors accross the river can say the same.
Btw, it's time to start shopping for a generator. If we lost power and sump pumps didn't pump our water heater and fernus would be under water.
P.S. Sorry for the poor quality of pictures. They were taken with the phone through the window.
