The sidewalk on the back side of our house fills up with water with heavy rain. This morning there were dozens and dozens of worms in the water. We've seen just a few in the past after a heavy rain but this was a pile of worms when we swept them up. They were still alive and very active, trying to crawl out of the bucket we put them in. Larry put them in one of our compost piles with some fresh kitchen scraps.

Any explanation for this? Do worms come out of the ground so as not to drown ???
