The ground is utterly saturated from weeks of on and off rain, and oh by the way, Tropical Storm Barry is expected to (a) turn into a Cat 1 Hurricane by the time it comes ashore, and (b) dump another 10 inches of rain on us.
My air conditioner's drain has been backing up all day already, flooding the crawlspace where the drain exits the house. I think they are related, and it's not going to get better until this storm passes and the rain STOPS. I suspect the drain drains into fill under the house, and everything up to the foundation is absolutely waterlogged, so the water has no place to go.
Not to mention that our A/C is running on borrowed time; pipes already froze up once, and we are waiting on our A/C service to finally get a spare part (expansion valve; condition: stuck) in so they can fix it permanently, instead of just tossing in some refrigerant to tide us over. Gah.
Oh well, it's excuse to cut out the old moldy utility carpeting that the original builder thought was a "good idea" to install in the pantry. Where, you know, the overflowing A/C drain floods into when it overflows. Because there's nothing food storage needs like soggy carpeting to provide that extra touch of humidity and mold. Gaaaah!
