Just glad you are ok. Material possessions can be replaced if damaged by water.

When the waters recede, remember to wear good boots and tough pants, gloves and shirts to clean up. Also, mould-protective masks.
That's not just water. That's mud, and washed-in everything. If you have crop farms upstream, there'll be fertilizers and herbicides. Industrial plants, washed-in industrial wastes. Livestock farms, manure. Wilderness, you will probably have frantic washed-in animals. They found frightened snakes of all sorts nesting in the oddest places with the cleanup after the latest Australian floods; and sent around a serious warning to LOOK before putting hands anywhere.Seshat's self-help guide:
1. Would you rather be right, or get the result you want?
2. If you're consistently getting results you don't want, change what you do.
3. Deal with the situation you have now, however it occurred.
4. Accept the consequences of your decisions.

How are the other PA members doing today? I'm in Harrisburg, and although parts of the city got hit hard--specifically North Front St along the Susquehanna, my part of Harrisburg was ok. Amazingly, my house didn't flood. My yard didn't even flood, although it was very squishy for a while

Where I am, the river divides civilization from the middle of nowhere, so needless to say, everyone on my side of the river (out in them thar hills) had serious cabin fever and was out walking around checking out the damage. Thankfully the water has gone mostly down; the neighboring town is closed due to damage and water still being drained, but man everyone was out partying last night like they survived the apocalypse - every single bar and restaurant downtown that was open had a full parking lot.
Was basically stuck in my house for four days because the damn bridges were closed, thus preventing access to groceries, bottled water and fuel. Thankfully there was enough food buried in the house to eat and my kitties all had enough food.Comment
