But...the bad news...once again (as in every rain), our patio is flooded. In less than 10 minutes, using only a towel, I sopped up 28 quarts of water! I poured it on our poor neglected orange trees...
My futile attempt to minimize flooding - placing containers where the water seems to pour off the roof the most:
In about 20 minutes, the blue bucket (14 quart) is overflowing, and the gray tub is full too! Yikes. Do I hear home equity loan??

Wow--flooding in the desert! Does the water go into the house too?
Not from the patio...yet...but we do have a leak we thought Dan fixed at the fireplace :(
The rain is only supposed to continue through the night - crazy desert weather!
When we lived in Saudi, it was the same thing. When it rained, it inevitably flooded. Good luck.
