It Already Rain!
Shed floor is already swamped with water again
Hoping to dig out behind it tomorrow and put in some drainage pipe.

All of which would be agreed with if we were on the coast.
We’re 3 hours from the water.
The wind and rain will suck. All 30-50mph of it.
And yes, I went through Hurricane Gloria a cat 4. 145mph it was rough being right there in the direct hit area on the coast.
If I’m wrong and we get 120mph winds and 15”+ of rain I’ll be an a-hole
I think our group tends to be on the "prepared" side for things in general. To many, its not going to be a big deal, but for some, its gonna be an absolute cluster.
I believe it was Ivan that came up through the gulf into the panhandle, and stalled out over the mountains. It dumped 15+ inches of rain and caused torrential flooding over the mtns and into the foothills. Ivan's impact made it all the way up to Canada, then did a freakin froot loop, and came back for sloppy seconds in the gulf.
Heres an excerpt from Wiki about Ivan
Elsewhere in the United States
Further inland, Ivan caused major flooding, bringing the Chattahoochee River near Atlanta and many other rivers and streams to levels at or near 100-year records. The Delaware River and its tributaries crested just below their all-time records set by Hurricane Diane in 1955. Locations in southern New Hampshire and Massachusetts received over 7 inches of rainfall from the remnants of Ivan, causing flooding and mudslides. In Connecticut, high winds moved in quickly and unexpectedly, and a boater was killed when his trimaran capsized in 50-knot winds on Long Island Sound.[45]
In western North Carolina, many streams and rivers reached well above flood stage in an area that was heavily flood damaged just a week and a half prior from the remnants of Hurricane Frances, causing many roads to be closed. High winds contributed to widespread power outages throughout the mountainous region. The Blue Ridge Parkway as well as Interstate 40 through the Pigeon River gorge in Haywood County, North Carolina sustained major damage, and landslides were common across the mountains. There was major flooding along the French Broad River and Swannanoa River in Asheville, North Carolina and along the Pigeon River near Canton, North Carolina. As a result of the rain, a major debris flow of mud, rocks, trees, and water surged down Peek's Creek, near Franklin, North Carolina, sweeping away 15 houses and killing five people.[46][47]
The system also spawned deadly tornadoes as far north as Maryland[48] and destroyed seven oil platforms in the Gulf of Mexico while at sea. While crossing over the Mid-Atlantic states, Ivan's remnants spawned 117 tornadoes across the eastern United States, with the 40 tornadoes spawned in Virginia on September 17 setting a daily record for the commonwealth.[49] Ivan then moved into the Wheeling, West Virginia and Pittsburgh area, causing major flooding and gusty winds. Pittsburgh International Airport recorded the highest 24-hour rainfall for Pittsburgh, recording 5.95 inches (151 mm) of rain.[50] Ivan's rain caused widespread flooding. The Juniata River basin was flooded, and the Frankstown Branch crested at its highest level ever.[51] After Ivan regenerated in the Gulf of Mexico, it caused further heavy rainfall up to 8 inches (200 mm) in areas of Louisiana and Texas.
Bahahahahahahaha
I have 30' up to 1 foot of drop - was thinking of something similar. I only have like 2 feet between the shed foundation (huge slab) and the neighbor's fence. What I really need is probably a channel drain, but concerned it will clogged ALL the time.
