Refrigerator root cellar setback

refrigerator root cellar wash outThe refrigerator root cellar suffered a set back last night during a heavy down pour.

It should only take a few hours to dig back out, and the new plan is to add a small roof like the one on our home made firewood shed to prevent this from happening again.

What happened? Did the fridge try to float up due to the rain?

We were careful to put it in a spot with good drainage, so it clearly wasn't standing water. I think it was the unconsolidated fill dirt behind the fridge filling with water and pushing it forward, a lot like a mudslide. Drat!
