Dugout Cabin Disaster: Facing 19 Inches of Rain in the Old West | A Pioneer’s Struggle

3 Weeks of rain storms devastated the cabin dumping 19 inches of rain (48.26 cm) when it normally only rains 4 inches (10.16 cm) in April. This happened after I've been battling moles living in the back wall. I believe their tunnels filled up with water and caused the wall to sink taking the back window with it and forever changing the stove pipe. It will never look as good again sadly. I'm not sure what all this rain means for my crops but it doesn't look too good. On the plus side the other three walls and the roof are perfectly fine and held up great. And for getting so many inches of rain there really wasn't that much that made it's way into the cabin.
