Big time flooding + straight line winds 75mph +++. No light since Monday. And buying this cheap gas for generator. Was Lucky trees that went down. Just small amount on NEW roof only 2 weeks old.
ewww! I hope it gets better for you soon. We just keep getting rain, over and over and over... Thankfully no wind.
Thursday still no lights. They can not get in back of neighbor's house. They moved away almost 5 years ago. Moved to Kansas. Just put house on market 1 year ago. Never cleaned yard. I got his number and chewed. But light Co--going to put transformer on our land by pass them. Will him---to have aspen come and clear JUNGLE. No offers on house-wants more then it's worth. Their DS is to mow lawn---one time this year. All you hear is generator and chain saws.
Going to go check on church. Thank God has no basement. But all the 100 old hard wood floor-water going in crawl space. Bet in stinks to high heaven. I hung muddy jeans over boat washed them with hose..Only one who likes this water in front lawn. Yellow lab. Get hosed off then in kennel to dry. Looked at tree Big tarp we bought wrapped around. At first thought it was one of those porta potties
First, you figure out what a "cubit" is . . . . (Sorry, couldn't resist, but I'm not making fun of your plight.)
So far 20 bags of trash. Had siding for new room . Carpenter had some outside. Clamped down. Found 200 feet away. But Wall they stored canned good years ago. Red bricks. Glad I have flood insurance. This is first time Farmer next to us did No till. Corn crop last year. Stocks plugged water way.Lot of trees in our yard. Not ours. Flew 2 acres away.
Flood insurance man is to come in AM. Some idiot $50,000 Brand new truck drove past road closed sign-put in ditch. We pulled insulation-very heavy when wet. Had it in rafter in basement.
What a mess!!! Hope everything will clear up soon!!! Will come over to help you build an Ark if you are still building one.
When the UK flooded in the South at the finish we (not my area) had to send for the Dutch. They went to the area with a lorry load of huge pipes,the pipes were set up to withdraw sea water from the houses and some pipes emptied the water back into the sea. The Image is of the pipes on their way. The sea was actually in houses for weeks till the Dutch rescued them. ( photo / image / picture from kate's Garden ) http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...ger-lives-Armed-Forces-battle-save-homes.html On TV an MP went out to see the area, he said 'what help do you need', what a plonker. The residents were knee deep in water, what the heck did he think they needed help with? Dutch Pumps to the rescue. ( photo / image / picture from kate's Garden )
Wow Kate, thanks for the photos & explanation. I guess the Dutch know how to deal with water by now. Those are both very interesting photos. BTW welcome to the Stew!
