Our lower level flooded. Torrential rain storms have been our life lately. This one was particularly fierce. Fast and furious @ 2 inches in 20 minutes. The french drains out back could not keep up, so the back stairwell filled with water up to Ryan's waist! It is providential that he came home in the middle of his work day or the 3-4 inches of water inside would have been double, if not more! What a disaster! But, we are lucky that this mess was devastating only to material things and not to any of us!
The silver linings:
- I got new carpet
- I was able to easily paint Dare's playroom and I have been wanting to do that
- We were reminded how loving and unconditional our families are who came at the drop of a hat to come help where they could
- Now we know what needs to be done to ensure water doesn't creep inside again
