We are about two and a half blocks away from the highest point the water normally reaches during a flood, but we're affected today by storm drain backup.

So here, 7 weeks before we make the permanent move to TV, the unexpected happened! We again got hit this afternoon. It's not as bad as many have experienced, but we did get a few inches in our basement this afternoon. Packed boxes are affected, but we won't know until tomorrow afternoon after we're pumped out what the damages are. Anyway, our power co. just arrived to turn the power to our furnace off so it won't be damaged. Oh well, such is life and my best wishes go out to those who have more serious situations than I do to deal with!

Skyguy, just keep repeating to yourself "In 7 weeks we will be frogs." Hope your packing boxes aren't too badly damaged.
