I worked out in my garden this afternoon--it had been awhile. Most of my flower beds are raised, and have a sandy loam soil that I hauled in a P/U truck load at a time. Even with the nice rain, the beds are not real wet. Just damp down to about 4 inches. Those beds that are a clay loam aren't much wetter.
Not wishing for flooding for anyone else, but I sure hope we get some more of that stuff coming down here in North Carolina.
