We are so lucky, here in NE NJ. We use to get water in the basement if we had a little summer shower. But a handy man did all kinds of work down there and painted the walls with some stuff that really worked. Even with all the rain this summer -— no seepage at all. I didn’t think we would be as lucky with Irene, and we weren’t. But — all we have is a light seepage in about 1/4 of the basement. A small pump should take care of it and a few beach towels. Worse part was that the kitty litter was in it!! Fixed that right away!
So we are counting blessings here. We can deal with the power outage with the generator, and I can do without Comcast TV as long as I have my FR! My bamboo is waving at me, my White Oak behaved and I am able to stay in contact with my fav people here with my B’Berry, when the generator is down.
Thank you NautiNurse for starting this thread and being able to follow Irene’s progress up the coast, with so many FRiends!
Very glad to know you are safe, with minimal property damage. Thanks much for checking in!
With an 8 foot ceiling, you put up with 2 feet of water? Unbelievable.
