FYI: Where I'll be...
 

Sadly, I won't be here too much for the next few weeks or longer, unless I do so from work. My house has been flooded and we had to evacuate early this morning. I am now currently living with my wife and kids in a friend's RV. The last I saw the house, everything in the basement is ruined. I hope the living level remains ok, but only time will tell.

So, if anyone tries to PM me and I don't answer, that's why.

Time to go buy a boat...

Very bad to hear this Brian, but I'm glad you and your family are safe.

Sorry to hear about this Brian. My prayers go out to you and your family. That's a tough lot for sure.

Ahh dude that blows - hope there is power for the pump..

Sorry to hear. I pray that the water damage is not major.

Weather?

If only Traxxas had their Titan available.

Very sorry to hear Brian, glad everyone is safe.

I hate it when bad things happen to good people. Best wishes Brian. This too shall pass.

Sorry to hear man. Hang in there.

Good luck with the house Brian I hope everything turns out well.

Thanks for the sentiment guys! Really appreciate it.

Outlook is not so good. Water is not dropping very fast at all . Water currently still at 15 feet (flood level is 12 feet) and we are supposed to get another full day of rain on Friday. What is needed is a solid 3 or 4 days MINIMUM of no rain at all followed by very light to no rain for several weeks to get the water levels down, and that's not gonna happen.

After Friday, the extended outlook looks ok for several days, but I'm sure that will change for the worse ("always expect the worst and all surprises will be good ones"). But, even if it IS true, it will likely be too late for anything except seeing what can be salvaged.

I'm just really in a pissy mood, working on less than 2 hours of sleep, haven't eaten in two days (stress makes you lose your appetite), and really have nothing to look forward to. I guess the bright side is that at least me and my family are safe. And at least it's not as bad as the floods in China...

Anyway, I'll be leaving work soon, so unless I happen to get internet access in my friend's RV, I won't see you until tomorrow. Good night all.

Ouch, this bites!
I do hope this goes away very quickly, I guess it'd be great to invest in a very expensive pump, that can pump out multiple, multiple gallons at once!

Sorry to hear this Brian. Good luck to you and your family that everything turns out ok

That's gotta suck, big time. Like you said at least the family is safe. Hopefully the family unit won't suffer from the stress. 'Character building' I know that term gets used loosely nowa days but maybe you'll get to appreciate your family members in a new way after this. Good luck anyway!

Brian, so sorry to hear about this... I'll say a prayer for you and your family, I'm glad everyone is safe.

Bummer man, time to jack the house up on stilts me thinks, or build a 4foot tall wall around the house with footings going down to the existing foundations..
