Welcome to the sunny, soggy South.

HooWee!
12-14" rain last night.
I live on Wolf Bay, near the intracoastal waterway, in coastal Alabama.

My pier and dock are now under about 2' of water.
This morning they were completely submerged up over the 4' handrails.
Water came over the 3' bulkhead about 50' into the yard.
The trash line has all kinds of crap in it.
Boat fenders, cushions, coolers, 5 gallon buckets...

One neighbor's boat floated out of the lift and is now in his back yard.
My other neighbor's boat is...gone.

I've never seen it like this when it wasn't a hurricane.

Oh, and global climate change is a hoax.
