Thank you. I was thinking middle of the week - it'll take a while for the water to go down.

I walked outside in the rain a few minutes ago and couldn't believe my eyes - we have a river in my side yard here. Only leaking is the bilco doors and that is probably just the way it is blowing. At least we can't have the sewer backup like the last time I remember the side yard looking this way (that anti-backflow is finally showing me it was worth the expense).

"Officially" we had 5" of rain so far, but from past eperience it is close to double that. No, the media did NOT hype this storm too much.

Not anywhere near the storm area but agree with you. The entire affected coastline got the bad side of the storm as far as surge. That along with the heavy rains is devastating. Most look at the winds and think no big deal though

You keep me posted and we’ll do what we can for you. Charlie’s not as easily accessible as he used to be (thank goodness) but will do what he can to help when he can.
