Tucson Flood - Thanksgiving 08 in Tucson


It rained today in Tucson. See that driveway next to the brown car? Yeah, that's NEW. My grandfather's neighbor poured it and then sloped it so the water runs towards my grandpa's house.


Like this. It's about 6 inches deep. Needless to say, it really worries him and stresses the foundation of his house; his 55+ year old house! He's called the City of Tucson but they're dragging their feet. They did give him a sump pump (under the white "board" in the photo) but that doesn't really FIX the problem.

I'm figuring out how to get Pre-Paid Legal involved since Papa & Nana ARE members. I figure they'll write a letter and help them out. I don't know if it's to the neighbor or city or both.
