Very sorry to hear this. That sounds truly ugly. Sure hope the damage isn't too severe.

According to today's Washington Post, my area received a foot of rain over the four-day period. And I believe it, cuz that's about how much water I pumped outta my mom's basement on Monday...

Be well,

Both my vettes have windshield wipers and guess what? They actually work!


Some of you guys should try it sometime.
