A terrifying thought!

I had a comment on my previous post about the possibility of flooding due to a rapid thaw in the spring.

I just thought of something else. With the ground so wet and saturated, if we have a wet and rainy spring, along with a quick melt, could it be possible that the Nimbys entire back yard, pool and all, might end up in my family room!?!?

Remember the floods of 83?
Maybe we'll have another river down state street.
Perhaps you should invest in some sandbags?

I remember the floods well. Unfortunately, I don't think sandbags will help much if my steep hillside gives way. Trees, pergolas, and a swimming pool could be coming my way.

If that happened, then their property would become yours and you could do what you wanted with it. ;^)

Al...Now that would be justification for the Nimbys behavior over the past year. My kids and grandkids have commented more than once that we needed a bigger back yard and a swimming pool would be nice.

Not a swimming pool, Mom, just a bigger backyard.
