Holy Hanna

[wraithfodder]

Arch, stupid tropical storm Hanna. Fortunately, we did not get any of the high winds predicted, otherwise, there would have no electricity to power the wetvac needed to suck the water that came into the basement courtesy of the cellar stairs where the water just pooled up and over. Hmm, me thinks I need to get some huge rubber something to stick there to stop that (and mice!)

Otherwise, after sucking up water and having to wax another area that got wet, survived the storm. However, the driveway needs reshoveled. Sigh...

Sorry you got water in. We managed to avoid it. Although Hubby did have to outside during the height of the storm to dig a trench away from one of the basement windows and use the pool cover pump to pump out the window well. The water was almost to a level it might have come in through the air conditioner.

Wet Vacs are a gift from the gods. They have saved us so many times. Glad you have one!

Oh, sorry about the water! I hope nothing in the basement got damaged?

Awww, sounds like a mess. We didn't get any flooding, but we did lose power for a few hours, enough that we broke out the candles, but not so long that our food was damaged, though we did get ice. Not too much wind either. My mom did make me go out when it was raining to put out the trash though.

Wow. I feel bad all I got was a ton of rain. Though the winds from Hanna did blow down the spider web I put up for halloween.

Could you send some of it to our catchment areas. We could be looking at Stage Four restrictions :(
