Flooding and Stationary Fronts

This week my creek was flooded almost everyday.  I could not get out of my road any day except Monday.  I could not have Easter dinner at my house and I had to wade through knee deep water to visit my family on Easter.  We have had more rain this April than any April in history.  So far we have already had over 10 inches of rain and it is supposed to rain almost every day this week.  How has the rain effected your plans? Did you have to miss sports games?  Did you have to move all of your spring break activities indoors?  The lengthy rain is due to a what is know as a stationary front.  This is an edge of an air mass that is not moving.  Therefore, we are getting trains of rain all along the Ohio valley.  Look at the link to see the symbol for a stationary front on the weather map.  Let me know how the rain effected you and find out how it effected other people from the 7th grade.

My basement floods everytime we have a heavy down pour so this is about the 5th time its flooded. Each time I had to come home and bail out the basement from the flooding, with a water vacuum and a bucket to toss out the water in the basement. At least it didnt rain one day, I was just able to go to the Zoo and be able to enjoy the sun.

Sheridan,Megan said...

I was out shopping with Madison, and we had to go home because my basement was partially underwater. I had a soccer game canceled because the fields were flooded and it was raining non stop.I didn't really have to move spring break activities inside. Looking at the map and seeing the symbols made me understand better what is happening. zSome of my friends had problems with trees, water in basements, and problems with roofs.

Hailey Hoover said...

the flooding didn't effect me that much. i was still able to get in and out of my driveway. no one in my family had anything outdoors planned really so that wasn't messed up. yeah it rained a lot obviously but i wasn't effected that much. i may not like the rain but it didnt mess with my plans. there wasn't even water built up anywhere near my house.

Over spring break because of the rain all my soccer practices were inside, so i had to practice indoors. The fields we were suppose to play on were actually flooded.

Royer Rachel said...

The rain has affected my plans by I was suppose to go outside and hang out with Megan S. sometime this week but couldn't go anyday because of the weather.
I had a soccer game on Saturday afternoon but it got rained out because the fields were partially underwater.
My neighbor had flooding issues in their basement and backyard so on Saturday from about 3 to 6 I was helping my neighbor get rid of the water in the basement and put up a barrier outside to stop the water from reaching the house.
I actually didn't have to move any of my spring break activities indoors.
Some of my friends had water issues in their basement over spring break and had roof issues.

anonymous said...

I live right by a creek and it was high the hole week. but luckly for me i live up at the top of a hill. I couldnt go outside i was stuck in my house. 4 baseball practices cancelled. I have only had 2 of 5 games so far. I found out that My friends couldnt have an easter egg hunt. blue down triangles and red up circles.

Sheridan,Megan said...

Rachel, I was upset we couldn't hang out because of the weather. We were both very busy too, but If it wasn't raining, and it was nice out maybe our plans would have worked out better.

:) Jaspers, Abby (: said...

It affected me because some of my activitys had to be moved inside or cancled, but they were only little things like not being able to walk somewhere. Also our easter egg hunt was almost cancled but the rain finally stopped long enough for us to do it. There was no water in my basement or really anywhere on my street. I live on a hill though so the water can really stay at the top. It affected my grandmaw because her basement flooded and they had to rip up the carpet and put in a new one.

Royer Rachel said...

@ Megan:
Megan I know what you had to deal with when your basement got flooded. My neighbor was unlucky enough to have that happen to them too. It took a while to clean up all the water even with the help of half te neighborhood.
Is your basement ruined at all?

Reichling,Alex said...

The rain has only effected my soccer practise and soccer games. I didnt have any spring break activities exept for easter and it stopped raining for the easter egg hunt.
The symbol for a stationairy front is a blue line with a triangle facing up and a red line with a half circle faceing down

anonymous said...

My house didnt flood , but my uncles house did. it ruined all over there clothes and electronics that were in the basement . it was almost to my ankles. We had to call someone to get all the water out .

:) Jaspers, Abby (: said...

@Hailey Hoover,
Like you the rain didnt really affect me much because i didnt have anything planned except for hanging out wtih friends.

anonymous said...

@Sean Laake . My basement floods also when there is a heavy rain pour .

--Lexy(:

Park Deborah said...

There wasn't really a flood for me but the rain effected my plans. I was suppose to go to the zoo with a few of my friends but it was raining so we cancled that. I was out in Lakota at my friends house and her power went out.

Wall, Alexandra said...

Rain definetly affected my plans, because I was going to go to the zoo and do a lot of outdoor things, but instead we had to stay indoors and out of the rain. I did not have any track meets and swimming did not get cancelled, since its inside. Yes, again me and Megan had to go to the butterfly show indoors at Krohn Conservatory instead of going somewhere outdoors.

IT hasnt effected my family that bad exept for whn me and my sister where trying to get somewhere and all the streets where closed off. I havent missed and games.NOO. The rain also flooded my basment a littel and ruined my trip to my cousin.

PAPATHANAS,ANTHONY said...

Your lucky alls I get my eggs is 10 dollar bills and also alex you where lucky.

Park Deborah said...

@ Sean
I was suppose to go to the zoo too but it rained alot! i don't get when the weather was good enough for the zoo. when did you go?

Wall, Alexandra said...

Megan, I know what you mean, water got into my basement too and my parents were freaking out!!!!

Hailey Hoover said...

@abby jaspers:
thats good that not many of your plans were effected and the ones that did were little things. at least the weather got nicer for your egg hunt. whats easter without an egg hunt right? good thing that there was so water damage for you, but sorry for your grandma.

keisersydney said...

The rain hasn't effected me that much, i don't really go to any sporting events, they all kinda bore me, there were only a couple times where i wanted to walk somewhere and it was pouring rain, thats probably the only way the rain effected me

Kilgore, Sydney said...

Madison is with me since her cookie was disabled!

The rain did effect me a little we were suppose to go to the circus but it was flooded because it was by the river it afected the contruction on my street.

this rain effected my plans because i wanted to play sports outside, but i couldn't. i had to do a lot more stuff inside than outside.

Kilgore, Sydney said...

Madison is with my original post, since her cookie is broke...

Reply: Mine and Madison's basements did not flood, so we feel lucky after looking at all of the disasters in people's homes. But our plans did get ruined, just like Rachels, where we couldnt go anywhere, and our sports got rained out.

batmanstake said...

ted, thats too bad that you couldn't go to the circus because of the river that flooded.

i was in florida enjoying the sun and swimming everyday. We didnt even see a singe drop of rain. It was humid in the morning and a little at night.

Oakes, Ally said...

The rain effected my plans because I couldn't do anything all week after my dad slipped and fell in the grass on Wednesday because he broke his arm where it connects to his shoulder and dislocated his shoulder and he had to have surgery on Thursday and came home on Friday but he hasn't been able to do much of anything and i have had to pitch in.i didn't get to see any of my friends all break except wen i went to a movie with my sisters friend. Some people say it was the worst break ever; they don't know the half of it.

Granger,Hannah said...

My basement flooded the worst then it ever has. The steps were covered in water and my steps are really far from the landry room. the landry room is were the leak is. None of my plans got runed i was with lydia and we were helping move into her new house and it rained and we still contuned!

Oakes, Ally said...

@ Katy
I am sooooooooooooo jelous that you were in florida it sounds like you actually had a good break.

Jordan,M,Malsbary said...

The rain affected my plains. Friday i was going to hang out with my 8th grade friend Brianna and her special friend lyndsey. The dumb rain is flooding my basin. We cant do the dishes because it will flood to the point our basment will have water all over it.

Breadon,zac said...

I cleaned my whole back padio and the rain flooded the yard over the wall onto the padio and it was muddy so i cleaned it for no reaaon

Jordan,M,Malsbary said...

I agree with you Sean.At least it was sunny one day.

anonymous said...

The rain didn't effect me that much. My baseball game wasn't cancled and I was able to go out side sometimes. Most of my activities were inside. I did have some flooding in my basement because leaves were clogging up the drain.

Granger,Hannah said...

@sean thats the same thing my basement does. my mom has to have my grandma check on the house,

Anonymous said...

at my old house, the basement would flood during every storm and it was always hard to clean it up. :(
thanks for the drain! :)

valerierenee7 said...

Since there was so much rain... some of my basement was flooded a little bit but not as bad as it usally is. Th only day it did not rain i was walking every where with my friends.

JR water doesn't suck because you need water to live!!!

KAM said...

The rain didnt effect any of my plans really, I was on vacation. It did rain down there but only through the night and really was all dry by morning.so didn't really have to move spring break activities inside. Looking at the map and seeing the symbols made me understand better what is happening. I noticed that some of my friends had water issues in their basement over spring break and had roof issues.

anonymous said...

All of my soccer practices were canceled. My basement didnt flood though.On easter we almost couldnt do the easter egg hunt because it was muddy and wet in the back yard. So all my cousins were muddy after finding the eggs.

valerierenee7 said...

@ Megan
That really stinks that your basement was almost all underwater.

anonymous said...

I agree with Sydney and Madison My basement doesnt flood and im glad it dosent too.

~Kailey Carter~

Brady Farmer said...

I did not have a flood because I live on a hill so a flood will not get to me.But that does not mean it is impossible to flood my house.It would just take a lot of water to get over a steep hill that I live on.

Jedding, Lyd said...

I had to move into my new house and some of the hard rain delayed us moving. but we did get moved in but we had to move everything we had downstairs upstairs so it didnt getting wet. cause my basement floods. i didnt have to miss any sports but i did have to stay inside during brake! and it was very boring! and i disliked havin to stay in side! i hope this rain ends so i can go outside.

McGinnis,Ben said...

The rain didnt stop my plans much.When i hid eggs for the little kids i had to hid them inside. I also had to go on my roof many times while it was raining and unclog the gutters. My side yard was flooded and washed away all our new multch we put down the day before.

KAM said...

@ Megan:
Megan I know what you had to deal with when your basement got flooded. My basement actually flooded a couple years ago when we were dealing with alot here and it took us a while to clean it up, everything was completly wet. Is your basement ruined at all?

anonymous said...

The rain definitely affected my plans. I was supposed to hang out with my friends on Friday, but my mom told me the roads were to bad to take me. I was gonna go on the Oak Hills Track but again, no one could take me up there, I couldn't run in the ran and plus it was storming pretty bad. Most of my time over spring break was inside.
The map let me know what is actually happening with the weather.

-Corissa Sturm,(:

Brady Farmer said...

I agree with Hailey Hoover.But I lived on a steep hill so it is very unlikely for a flood to get to me.

McGinnis,Ben said...

Hailey i agree with you i didnt have outside activitys planed but i did have a HUGE puddle of water next to my house.

anonymous said...

@Megan Sheridan,
Did your basement really get flooded? Do you know how it flooded? I forget what day it was, but I remember when the tornado warnings went off at 1 in the morning! I was freaking out and I ended up sleeping in my basement! I can't believe my basement didn't get flooded! Did you hear the sirans that night, Megan?

-Corissa Sturm,(:

Kelly said...

wow thats a lot of rain 10 inches! my plans were affected because my family was goin g to go to indianapolis but we didn't go because of the rain. the weather also affected me in the middle of the night because we had to go to the safest place in our house for 1hour. then i was grumpy the next morning because my mom's kids she watches woke me up at 8'o clock in the morning.

Abby Bacher said...

When it rained, our basement didn't flood or anything, but a couple days later we found water on our carpet right behind our TV downstairs, but other than that, our house is in pretty good shape. The only day it was sunny is when I went to Stephanie's house, and it was sunny all day.

Kelly said...

im so sorry alli about your dad's arm that's terrible plus your basement flooding! i cannot imagine how bad you got it right now. im here for you though!

Ryan, Marissa said...

We got a trampoline for an early Easter present on thursday, but we couldnt set it up because our backyard was full of mud and water. I was supposed to go to the zoo with Jennifer but i couldnt because of the rain, so we had to go to Coco Keys since it was indoors. When we finally got the trampoline set up, it wouldnt stop raining so we couldnt jump on it that much.

Chase:i sat at my house and watched tv because i couldnt go any where and couldnt help my dad by helping him move to his new house which held us back from moving this week probaly.

Michael - My spring brake was awesom, because I was in Florida and there was no rain durring the week until it was time to go home. Fortunately for my family there was no flooding at our house and our plans were saved. Unlike many people I did have an unusaul Easter dinner not related to weather, my Easter dinner was at the airport.

Sam - My spring break was horrible except for the Dayton air museum. My basement flooded twice due to our backyard filling up. The drains in our window wells were plugged up, and our big drain could not handle the amount ofwater. The rain leaked in through the foundations. Luckily, the kids were home and could help.

In Ohio, there is a stationary front causing the temperature to be in the middle of cold and hot. Also, there is some rain in the northwest and the southwest, that possibly could have affected other people's spring brake.

- Sam and Michael

it was kinda funny.

Emily Renee Heckman :) said...

Well, my apartment is well sealed and it never floods, unlike the apartment I had in preschool. Rain wouldn't effect my sports because Karate takes place inside. As I looked at the weather map, I could understand what the stationary front means. It may be a good reference to a project about weather.

Kylie Hayes said...

My family and I were suppose to have an easter egg hunt outside but because of the rain on Easter we couldn't. Also, my coach had to cancel one of our softball games because the feilds were flooded. We moved the easter egg hunt inside.

keene,carlie said...

me and my friends planned to go swimming in my pol but we couldnt because of all the thundering and lightning. so we ended up going to get movies and stayed inside all week. then on the weekend my soccer tournement got cancled because of the rain so its resqeduled now for a week that i already had 2 games on and music in the parks so ill end up playing 6 to 8 games plus going to music in the parks.

Emily Renee Heckman :) said...

@ Sean Laake

Well, I hope that it doesn't flood again because it seems like hard work to clean up the basment. Trust me on that, because I saw my Grandma do the same thing in her basement.

klingelhoffer,sawyer said...

the rain cancelled all of my baseball games.i was mad. since it rained i played video games all day and night.the rain affected Caleb by flooding his grandpa's basement. the rain made me sad because i was stuck inside all day.

I noticed on Tuesday that the Muddy Creek was almost totally flooded. There were a couple houses near it and the yards looked like ponds. My family had to move our Easter into my house. we were supposed to have it out side, but because of the weather we had it inside. Jenna and I weren't here most of the week. We were in Gatlinburg and the weather there was perfect. When we left on Saturday it was 82 and sunny. And we came back to rainy weather. Bleck. I wish I was still in Gatlinburg.

Rain has affected my plans by not being able to play outside with my friends and playing baseball. Yes I did. No I didn't have to move my activities indoors.

It affected Brendan McWilliams by having his creek flood and his practices cancled.

Hutson,Caleb said...

well the plans kinda effected me because my grandmas basement and i had to tear all the carpet. I had to move all my activities indoor unless i wanted to be soaked.

I had to miss a softball game on Saturday and the only day over the break tha i could actually do anything outdoorsa was thursday where i went to the zoo and had another softball game. Our basement flooded 2 or 3 times over break and we had to wakle up at midnight because of a tornado warning.
@Megan Sheridan
I also had a flooded basement and my softball game was canceled. I did have to do alot of things indoors.

My pond flooded in our back yard, sooo we couldn't play that day. We had a lot of severe weather over Spring Break, so that ruined my sleepover plans. Then, I had to do boring stuff inside. It affected other people by either flooding or severe weather.

Fairbanks,Joey said...

The rain was so bad that I couldn't even ride my dirt bike. This was so far the worst spring brake ever.

I feel sorry about Megan Sheridan because her soccer game got cancelled and her basement was partially underwater while shopping with friends.

Duebber, Jenna said...

My family didn't have any problems at our house, but, we did have a lot of problems at Duebber's. We own a house next door for offices and a gym downstairs. The basement gym flooded with all of the electronics and they had to dig a pipe and drain all of the water. This delayed our vacation because my dad had to help. Our vacation was delayed by 3 hours, we left my house at 11:00. Our family easter was cancelled but it wasn't because of the rain, it was because of other reasons. My mom, dad, sister and me hooked up with my aunt and uncle and other cousins and grandma and grandpa to celebrate a mini easter. But, we weren't able to have an easter egg hunt or drive their golf cart because of the heavy rain. The weather on my vacation was beautiful!

Charles P Freudemann said...

This is the first year we did not do anything for easter with my moms side of the family. so we went to see the brazillian butterflies, it was cool one landed strait on my forehead. But this rain is making me really mad I want to go out side but it is too rainy, but that also means i can play in the mud!!

Buelterman,Abbey said...

It didnt effect my plans at all.No I didnt miss any sports games.No i didnt move my activities indoors.I was out at my unclesd farm and they had a tornado near them so we still had it there put a lot of water and there also was a mud puddle that i was pushed into by my cousibn and he is only 7.

The rain effected my easter we went to my awesome grandmas house we usaly have cornhole and a easter egg hunt in the back yard but no cornhole. we did have a easter egg hunt. after the hunt me and some cousins started listening to music and danced in the rain.

The rain totally effected me on tuesday I think it was Ryan B. And me were hanging out in the basement at 1:30 so we decided to play candy land that totally changed are plans. Also my baseball games got cancelled. It was a very wet, rainy springbreak.

The weather affected my plans because I was supposed to go to the zoo with Marissa and Deborah and another friend from Delhi, Monica.
I really wanted to go, but Monica told me it was supposed to rain. So I checked the weather forecast....70% Chance of rain. That just ruined everything.
On the night of the big storm, me and my mom got the camera and kinda recorded it, and then posted it on Facebook for the people in Thailand to see.
It was sad that it was dark so we couldn't really see.
I basically did everything I would on a regular day, stayed home, babysat, and played on the computer.
My highlight of my break was skyping my friends Monica and Cameron till 5 in the morning then I fell asleep on them,,,

dace,connor said...

@ Sean,
That sucks hope you'll be able to get all the water out.

Mariah Smith said...

I was in Florida over Spring Break. My dad was hoping for a storm to make the weather a little cooler, but all we saw in the way of a storm was some distant lightning. But we were lucky enough to hit a storm on the plane ride home. It was amazing to see the lighting so close. Our plane had to go around the storm cloud. When we got home, there was pretty much a lake in our garage. My dad is still working on fixing a new leak in the roof of our garage.

I agree with Sean that it was nice at least one day of our spring break and we could do something fun.

Lucky for me i live on hill. So it didn't flood. But all the flowers petals are gone. And the tulips are bent from all the rain we had. I hate rain. thats why I can't wait till June July where we get less rain.

Freeman Andrew said...

Well my basement use to flood alot in because of this one wall but we got it fixed and during the break we found another spot in the other wall. But for the reast of the break the rain didn't affect me because I was sick.

Kamilah Williams said...

sorry about your basement sean. dont worry it will go away and soon you will have dry basement. my basement didn't flood.

Giblin, Keegan said...

The rain did not affect me much except my lacrosse practices were cancelled. I don't have a basement so I did not get flooded.

My basement use to flood but we used this fan thing but it stinks doesnt it.

Evan Triplett said...

i agree with anthony we were goin to the same place im sure it was crazy flooded

coors amber said...

Actually, the rain didn't affect my plans at all really b/c i was on vacation in california and we had sun just about every day!!! this weather was really stinky comming back too b/c i was so used to sun every day. However, we thought it might have affected our flight home through Detroit but we got there after the big storm hit.

someone was watching my house and my dogs while we were gone and when we got home, our basement was flodded up to my ankles.

coors amber said...

to: Megan Sheridan
That would stink if i found out that something of mine had to be canceled.

when it rains hard at my house it make giant puddles in my hard and it takes forever to get them out

A, Owen said...

My Easter was great even though my family and I couldn't do anything outside like we were going to go to Right Paterson airfeild in dayton and I didn't get to hide the eggs this year. The gutter on the side of our house was almost torn off the house, and my pool was overflowing into the grass which was already a swamp and that made it worse. The overflow pump (a pump that doesn't alow water above a certin hight) wasn't working all last week and it still isn't. I hope this only lastest to the end of april because I want to see the sun again.

A, Owen said...

Sean you must be having a hard time with all this rain, and I have had my basesment flood before. When it flooded we had to rip up the carpet and pump the water out but I still couldn't go down there because there were fans drying up the rest. I know floods are not fun so I hope this rain stops for my sake and yours. Good luck.

anonymous said...

My basement floods everytime we have a heavy down pour so this is about the 5th time its flooded. Each time I had to come home and bail out the basement from the flooding, with a water vacuum and a bucket to toss out the water in the basement. At least it didnt rain one day, I was just able to go to the Zoo and be able to enjoy the sun.

All of my activities were moved to indoors. Like easter my mother was planning an out door egg hunt for my little cousins. she had to move it because our backyard is really damp.

Our house is only 5 years old and my dad built it so we didn't have any problems with the rain. Our power went out a lot when we were in Florida and the freezer in our garage wasn't working so all of our deer meet thawed out and now we have to throw it out. Looking at the map and seeing the symbols made me understand better what is happening.

It affected me because some of my activitys had to be moved inside or cancled, but they were only little things like not being able to walk somewhere. Also our easter egg hunt was almost cancled but the rain finally stopped long enough for us to do it. There was no water in my basement or really anywhere on my street. I live on a hill though so the water can really stay at the top. It affected my grandmaw because her basement flooded and they had to rip up the carpet and put in a new one.

My easter was not affected by the storms. My grandma was putting towels in the basemet garage so the water wouldn't seep through the gayrage. no flooding happened at my house.

Over all the rain my dad had to pospone redoing our driveway. My sister and I didnt mind the rain. We jumped on the trampoline and had fun. It didnt affect us over Spring break cause we went to Flordia. At least my basement didnt flood:)

The only thing the weather did was keep me from going outside as much I still went outside but i got drenched. The rain did make me very tired though so I took alot of naps.

It affected me because i was going to do world fit and i couldnt do it because it was raining. It affected other 7th graders because they couldnt do it either,

The rain did not really affect my plans. It did make things really dull though. Any sports games I had were inside so I was not affected in sports. It did not rain on Easter thankfully so we could have Easter outside and I did not plan on many big outdoor activities because of the weather. The rain cancelled many of my sisters softball games at Oak Hills.

Dickerson,Daniel said...

Anthony, it stinks that your basement kind of flooded. It seems like I'm one of the only ones whose basement did not flood.

The night there was a tornado warning me, kyle gorman and a person named sam were playing candyland and watching the news. The rain also canclled alot of my soccer games and practices that week. But since we left for two days to go up to teledo for soccer it was an okay spring break(i lied it was the worst spring break ever)

I had many softball games and practises that were cancelled because of rain since the fields were to wet. On Easter we had to move our Easter egg hunt inside since it was all muddy. Some of the little kids were disappointed but still seemed to have alot of fun. I am sick of the rain and cant wait for the sun!!
