Back To Work

What the title said. Here's the view out my closest window. You can see the other side of the river is still flooded, and kind of get a sense of how fast the Cumberland is flowing right now if you look at the ripple of water around the bridge.

Water Bill

Day two staying home while downtown recovers. Lee Company was finally able to make it out to check the crawl space and the tankless. No structural or duct work damage is very good, but the tankless was a total loss. Fried and stuffed with dirt. So yeah, 100% out of pocket on that with no flood insurance. That hurts, but it's easy to keep perspective when you watch the news and see what others lost.

Just a snap of today's front page, for blog posterity.

Aftermath

A day off from work for the worst reason. Downtown is still flooded.

Getting Steamed

And now we're boiling water because they just reported a local sewage plant overflowed, and we don't think the water filtration system we have will do microbial cleansing. It's all perspective though, our house isn't flooded (crawl space not withstanding), we haven't lost power or even cable. There's lots of folks lots worse off right now. Heck the people across the street bordering our new river. STOP RAINING!

Precarious Precipitation

OK, this rain has gotten ridiculous. It's been pouring since Friday night, and I mean no-breaks pouring. There are reports of flooding all over. The tiny little trickle of a stream in our common area (reference: here) is now a lake that is already up to the houses of the people that live on that side of the street. Our crawl space, the one that recently became home to a certain tankless appliance, is flooded and said appliance is out. To prevent as much damage to it as possible I had to crawl under there and unplug it. Fun times.

Precipitation

Yep, as prognosticated, rain. And lots of it.
