This is a bit of a closer picture, right on the opposite side of the fence from the back corner of my patch. You can see just how high the water was from the debris stuck to the fence. It must have been a foot deep. In retrospect, it's a really good thing that I built the raised bed. Otherwise, all of that water would have been covering my patch.
In fact, that corner did fill up a bit with water. But, only for a short time and it was only a couple inches deep. It's only about six feet from my main fruit. But, it didn't look like it reached it. In any case, the fruit is on styrofoam and sand. So, it would drain quickly if the flooding had reached it.
On the positive side, I don't have to water for another six months. Now I just have to see if the plant can continue to feed the pumpkin in its current state. If it can't, I might have an opportunity to do some early patch prep.
