Glad to hear it was no worse than that Hank. I've just been watching the floods in Columbia on the news and it sure looks awful for many folks. Very sad.
If you don't have one, you might want to get a dehumidifier and run it for a couple of weeks to get things really dried out. I live in WNY and have one in my basement set at 55% RH, year round.

Man, that is scary. Glad you were able to keep things more or less intact. My father is a retired weatherman in his 80's. We used to live in Myrtle Beach. He said in his entire life, he'd never seen anything like that either, and that includes living in the tropics with monsoon seasons, and enduring 4-5 hurricanes/typhoons. Dad said that every time he thinks he's seen it all, God does something to remind him he hasn't.

What a nightmare, the tv coverage is frightening. Good luck

I feel your pain! Glad to see you're dealing with the problem. Have seen some devastating news broadcasts about all your rain. I'm sure you're grateful that you have been able to handle the situation. Prayers for you and all who need them during these trying times.

Hank, I'm so glad you are ok, it could have been much worse.

Happy for your good news, Hank. 20+ inches of rain is incomprehensible to me. That could form a lake in pretty short order.

I was wondering about any members who may live in that area as I watched the horrifying news clips. Glad you have minimal damage...and wish the best for all who others suffering through this.
