I helped my neighbor save our kayaks,
tried to get DoT to come out and help with a culvert back - up...with no luck, being told that water draining off the hillside from a backed-up culvert isn't their problem. This morning it became their problem since the hillside is now on their road.
With school closed, I took off at 8:15 on my bike, going to breakfast at the Ithaca Bakery, before traveling the city from one end to the other looking at...water, brown and swift-moving water.

An overflowing something at the Farmers Market, with a front view for Mr. Devoe: their garden under water (here's hoping Groton's garden wasn't!)

Note same picture: it has less than 12 inches before it breaks the wall, and that was around noon today!
I got lots of curiosity satisfied and good exercise in, while even attaining new knowledge (I learned how to take pictures off my phone.).
A good day!
