Fields in Delaware along 404 can’t drain, acres  and acres under water and not just low spots 

Its been a bit rainy this year, as you know. Even when there is "normal" rainfall the water table beaks the surface in the heavy soil areas of the Delmarva during winter and early Spring. Not unusual at all.
