Gilbert and other communities flood again!

One year, one month and two days ago, Gilbert was inundated by flood waters. It has happened again. Not quite as deep, but still has done plenty of damage. Our corner was coverd again and got into the house, but minimally. The units are ok but the lot has to have a thorough cleaning. Watch the area news for more information on this latest flooding.

Man that really sucks PL... I knew they were calling for localized flooding but didnt think we got that much rain.

Can the Great PL please get a break

Seems since the last flooding there's not much top soil or new underbrush left in the hollows to hold back any great amounts of water.

Sorry to hear it. Seems you can't get a break no matter what the season.

Between the winter snows and spring rains it doesnt leave much for ground stability. Sorry to hear about the flooding again.

Sorry PL You need a break!!

I would like to move far away. . .so far that it would take a twenty-three pound postage stamp to mail me a letter. And as I type. . .more downpours. The red variety on the radar screen!

Understandably...
I can't imagine how sick and tired you must be of seeing of mud and water.
Keeping you and your community in our thoughts in prayers.

PL,

Beside now & last year when was the last time Gilbert was flooded like this?

Not sure of the dates in early 2000's or '90's, but '88, '82, '77, '72, '63, and '57 are memorable. I moved onto this corner in 1990 and have had at least 6 issues since then.

I think I read somewhere that Logan had been flooded 24 times in the last 40 years?

With that history, sounds like there isn't much you can do to prevent it. Just at the mercy of mother nature I guess.

PL with all you have gone thru we are all glad you stayed in the area,we like your company and your hospitality.

No one will take us in anywhere else. We appreciate the kind remark. I always say it is easy to be nice to nice people!
