Yes that is water 17 inches up the back straight retaining wall, and the semi tunnel is at least 10 ft deep! :panic:

Central Florida has had ridiculous rain lately.

That looks like the back tunnel. If so, it is deeper than 10 feet!

Also, this is a great smilie! :rae:

They should have industrial size pumps getting that water out of there soon, if not by now......

Might take awhile tho!
