Life has it's ups and downs

We have had lots of problems with our yard since the property next door was excavated for a proposed Bingo Gambling joint. Every time it rains, the water runs off into our yard, keeping it like a soup hole. Takes forever for it to dry up, and it hasn't since last September since it has rained so much. The rains have made lots of our tree limbs fall and our yards were in a mess. Two weeks ago, we waded through the mess and had our yards looking good. We also mowed the grass that wasn't wet. Well, Sunday night/Monday morning, we had another storm which did the same thing. Only thing, this time one of our large pine trees in the front of our house fell. We were fortunate in that it fell towards the road, not toward our house. Had it hit our house, it would have gotten the middle, right in our living room. The rain water pouring from next door has kept our grounds saturated and therefore, our trees (pines have short roots) are becoming saturated and we fear more will fall. Below is the tree that fell. Under the roots, there is a huge hole of water standing. So we know our field lines for the septic tank are probably saturated, too. The company has been notified by the department in charge for Alabama that they aren't in compliance and have been given 30 days to fix it. But, so far, we've seen absolutely nothing from them.
