Is everyone okay after all the rain we've had for the past week? I've been lucky as we live in an area that does not flood. I work at a home improvement store and we sold out of sump pumps, wet vacs, and dehumidifiers.

I haven't posted in a couple days, but it's because I've been a little busy with relatives and work, not because of the flooding. We didn't get it too bad here in southwestern Maine -- a few washouts, but nothing like they got in New Hampshire or the Connecticut River Valley. My house is never in danger from flooding. My poor sister was at an *outdoor* wedding in New Hampshire yesterday. Luckily it was close to Portsmouth, with no washed out roads between here and there. The bride wore a white dress and a green sweater. SignatureWayne M (indulged by Will and Heidi) >>Is everyone okay after all the rain we've had for the past week? I've been >>lucky as we live in an area that does not flood. I work at a home >>improvement store and we sold out of sump pumps, wet vacs, and >>dehumidifiers. I live on a large hill which (from all previous appearances) doesn't flood. Unfortunately when there's that much water in the ground..... I was in sunny Florida for a few days and poor DH had to deal with a foot of water in the basement on top of the unhappy kitties :( We need to send a nice donation to the Volunteer firemen who came at 2am or so on Saturday morning and pumped out most of the water. And they don't even serve our area of town! The furnace is OK, but we're not sure about the washer & dryer yet. The kitties are traumatized first by Mommy's disappearance, then not only didn't Daddy comfort them, he ignored them and made lots of weird noises in the basement. Mommy has a lot to make up for it seems :) SignatureElise (supervised by Gossamer & Jeeves) pics: http://photos.yahoo.com/dragonandthistle@snet.net > The furnace is OK, but we're not sure about the washer & dryer yet.

In loving memory of Nikki. marina (dot) kurten (at) iki (dot) fi Pics at http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/frankiennikki/ and http://community.webshots.com/user/frankiennikki We only had a small damp spot in the basement, much better than when we first bought the house and had water in the basement the first winter! Other areas in the state were flooded out - people were rescued from their homes and floating cars by boat. It was impressive seeing fireman on a main street with life preservers. 500 People were in shelters. I realize it's much less than the destruction in N.O. (I've done volunteer work with people who have relocated here), but it's something we haven't had here in RI in a long time. As for Casey, he just did a lot of mumbling and begging for us to wave a magic wand and make that bright thing come back to the sky. Poor boy, he couldn't use his front porch, it's totally screened in, but the wind driven rain made everything wet.

How's Conn. doing? Suz Some parts of Connecticut had flooding and roads washed out. The Connecticut river is over flood stage right now. All the low areas that flood in the spring are flooded now. I haven't seen much damage around where I live. The cats weren't happy with a week of rain. They wanted Mommy to make the sun come out. They just don't understand I can't fix every thing.

Hope all is well and dried out soon! > Is everyone okay after all the rain we've had for the past week? > Ann Thanks for asking Ann. My Mother is in a nursing home in Woburn, Massachusetts. The home is located on a hill. But as it happens the Eastern part of the state is not getting the evil weather the rest of the state is. I wish the best to all of you New Englander's, New York, New Jersery, R.I. and Conn. folks. We, here in Central Florida are wondering if we are going to have a guest named Wilma the coming week-end. She will be the 21st named hurricane this season! We don't want her or need her!!

I read that Wilma was the last name on the list and the seaon still isn't over. :-( SignatureAdrian (Owned by Snoopy and Bagheera) A House is not a home, without a cat. http://community.webshots.com/user/clowderuk > >> Is everyone okay after all the rain we've had for the past week? > >> Ann [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > I hope Wilma leaves you all alone.

There was an article in the Sunday paper that explained that the weather service would use Alpha, Beta and so on. Charleen |
