Steady Rains and Flooding

It rained. It rained very hard, all night long. It is still raining hard...many hours later.
The driveway has been breached by the beaver pond, and there are a few inches of water flowing over the driveway in the lower portion. The forest is a mass of flowing water. Furiously looking how to construct beaver piping. It looks like a lot of steps and I am no carpenter.
Part of the country is inundated with water, the other part parched and scortched with fire and sun. Climate change.
I caught a pollywog on the driveway, it squirmed in my hand and I jumped. Out back a bull frog leap from the grass, a little out of his element as normally it would be closer to the ponds.
