peachsmama hope she’s feeling better! Ugh went down in the basement to check and there was 3-4” of rain down there. MH runs his business out of our basement so there is tons of shit down there. Spent the past hour hooking up the extra sump pump while wading in the water. I am not amused. Oh no!! I'm looking at clips of the flooding in NY and it's so scary. Sorry you are dealing with this by yourself.

Sorry you are dealing with this by yourself. Thanks! It’s insane. It came so fast. All the roads by me are totally flooded. All the local Facebook pages are just filled with people posted they are flooded. Have you seen the pics of newark airport? Baggage claim is completely under water. Honestly, at this point I’m just thankful that it’s only a little water and everything else is ok

Wish I could come help. Hope it stops soon and doesn’t do any more damage. kim22 How are you all faring. Looking at images of the flooding in NJ on Twitter and it doesn’t look good.

Schools off to a great start. C started today and his antibiotic induced tummy trouble returned. DH convinced himself he has covid (he doesn’t), and DD and I have been stranded in the car due to flooding for over 2 hours. We are safe in a parking lot but not getting home anytime soon. School has been canceled for tomorrow. Awww damn. Any chance to get a hotel for the night? I’m sorry.

Could have walked but water was probably over our heads at one point. We had to leave the car but got a ride home in a police car.

@kim and @jewrls, I hope your both okay. That was very scary for a while there. The pictures online are insane. Our basement has a tiny bit of water a long one wall but nothing that a towel can't fix. At midnight, our garage, however, look like it had an inch or so all over except a patch in the middle -- some of it has receded now. The kids' have a two hour delay. Waiting on Ms school now. Stay safe!

Stay safe! We are good here. So glad we put in French drains and a sump pump 10 years ago because we used to get water. We just went and pick up the Jeep from the parking lot I left it in. The water has receded but there are cars all over the road every which way. C’s Tummy was a mess again all night so waiting to find out if the doctor is opening and if they can do anything for us today.

Water seems to have receded quickly . Thankfully. I had no idea it was supposed to be this bad! Got the water cleared out last night, now trying to get what’s left and see what’s damaged. Fun day. M kim22 glad you made it home ok.
