I knew it had something to do with water, but I didn't know if it was clean water or dirty water.<BR/><BR/>Now that I see the devastation from Ike I feel a little like a whiner about my flood disaster in '06. Water damage clean up sucks! I'm so glad your basement was o.k. this time!bubbleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04309024574089677684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33543511.post-14364635498520240522008-09-14T22:13:00.000-05:002008-09-14T22:13:00.000-05:00My parents made the mistake of buying the lowest h...My parents made the mistake of buying the lowest house on the block, and every fall our family room, crawlspace and garage flooded. Add to that all of the leaves blocking the drainage in the driveway, and the frequent power outages that shut down the sump pump, and you have a very messy situation. <BR/><BR/>Where I live now, people just get swept away by cyclones periodically.luluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06468418041443316689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33543511.post-70520291167816547542008-09-14T19:29:00.000-05:002008-09-14T19:29:00.000-05:00This is fascinating JY.

We here in Colorado have so little water that we never seem to have a problem with it, other than it floods some poorly designed road underpass every now and then.SkylersDadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18264164502733912326noreply@blogger.com
