Freak thunderstorms happen. I recorded a 2" rainfall in 15 minutes in a NWS rain gauge one year. Yeah, the area flooded. We were allowed to only pump to a 6' downstream water level. That rainstorm brought our water levels up to over 10'. Our structure could do nothing to hold back the water on the upstream side as ground level was 10' at the pump station fence. Water just flowed overland like at Chris's pond.

I love that thumb on this excavator. I bought an excavator on auction and they had broke the thumb off. I welded it back on, but it isn't as long as the bucket, so you have to curl the bucket under to pick anything up. I like the way yours will just pick something up straight off the ground.

With the pond by the flooded driveway are you just in a situation where a heavy rain is more than that pond can handle no matter what you do? Over the years I have seen you work on that pond several times and it seems to always be in some kind of trouble. I will say the dam is perfect for if it flows over. Nice and even across the whole thing.
