If of any help we had our house get flooded with 35000 gallons of water last year when we were not there. A story for another time. Yes we were devastated. But in hindsight the damage has been repaired and the house as good as or better than it was before the incident. It was stressful but it was only stuff and stuff did get fixed. Please be safe.
It's 2:33 am and this has been the longest week of my life. It has been a night of lots of noises.....torrential rain hitting the back windows first and now hitting the front. Lots of wind with some very strong gusts and that seems to be more often now. I have a rain gauge but no other meteorological equipment. We are. The eye of the hurricane will come through about 4:06 am. Icrr;
