More on the Flood

Monday, 16 April 2007 08:33

We’re usually not much for current events here on PatandMeg.com, but the recent storm and ensuing flooding has hit, shall we say, close to home. Yesterday we posted some pictures and felt smug in our car being high and dry, and hoping that the waters would recede by morning. Well, they ended up rising, to the point where Meghan’s engine block was nearly in the water. We were able to move our car to higher ground, but as this new set of pictures shows, several people were not so lucky.

Our neighbors across the street have water up to their first floor, and the next door neighbors have five feet of water in their basement. Living on the 3rd floor never looked so good! Needless to say, Meghan and I are staying home today rather than risk adding two more cars to the waters that have already claimed 2 Audis, a Jaguar and a Grand Caravan. More pictures of the action:

The rain in Spain may stay mainly in the plain, but in Harrison it flows into our street:

I just returned from a visit to Charlotte, and managed to wade through the floodwaters of New York to post updated pictures. Enjoy!

We just heard from our builder that we now have a closing date: May 25th. The house looks like it is progressing nicely and I will be down in Charlotte this weekend to check on things.

 

Looking good thus far:
