Water Rising

We're in the midst of a huge rainstorm. Lots of thunder and lightening. Very very frightening. The water level out by the street is rising. It may very well have reaching these level previously, but probably only while I wasn't home or when it was dark outside. This is the first time I've seen it in day light. I guess this is one of the downsides to living in an old cornfield. There's very little terrain for water flow. I hesitate to think what the crawlspace must look like at this point.

I posted some pictures on Flickr. There are gullies between those lamp posts and the street that are at least two feet below the level of the driveway.
