it has never gotten water in it before & my new closet has water in it. Dh has worked so hard down there in the last 2 months I'm so up set right now I can't even cry. There is just so much stuff down there all ruined. I guess I know what today & the rest of the week is going to brong. Lots of cleaning & throwing out.


We didn't get that much rain so I just don't get it & it never flooded before when we did. I guess I shouldn't complain w/what other people are going thru w/all these storms.

We've been here for 3 yrs. & have never had a problem & we've gotten far more rain in the past w/a nor'easter than Hanna gave us last night Dh thinks the drain was plugged somehow because he used a plunger & it just started draining right out.

The house is a 55 yr. old house & it has a trench running along the front wall & into a drain in the floor, there has never been a problem. Btw I've never seen a set up like we have but it worked for 55 yrs. until last night.

I'm hoping that insurance will cover what we've lost. I'm over being upset & just want to finish the clean up, I was doing it all day today. I wish dd got over things as fast as I do.

Oh no. How miserable to see all your hard work get flooded. I'll be hoping it gets cleaned up quick and there's no insurance hassles.
