yeah, me too. i expected it though. my eaves are rough, but i think ive got it under control.

if you can, head off to home depot or zellers and pick up a wet/dry vac for ~50 - make your life a lot easier right now.

if you can, disconnect the barrels and allow the water to flow away as fast as its coming in

as the others have said, get some dirt or plywood or something to divert water away from that side, every little bit helps.

good luck

ps those glenmore pics and cars under water pics are NUTS
