Did everyone stay dry??

We had a little water in the basement, but that's about it. Hope you all stayed safe this weekend!

rain rain rain all day here (Syracuse), but yesterday was actually a pretty nice day. We went to the fair and couldn't have asked for better weather. Nice and warm with just a hint of a cool breeze. Today... is very much the opposite, but it could be so much worse.

T&P to ayone affected by Irene. Wishes for a speedy cleanup and better weather soon!

My area had almost 10 inches of rain. There was a river going over the road but that's gone down a bit now. There are lakes instead of rivers on people's lawns now. The wind is really gusty now and the trees are bending a lot. I have a tree down in my backyard from my neighbors yard that was dead but that's about it. No basement flooding, the pool is still intact and we never lost power.

We had some water dripping down the basement walls. We aren't even sure where it came from - possibly through the bottoms of the window frames and down the drywall.. I don't even want to think about it, and thank heaven this is over. But no flooding or anything. I can't dealw ith any more house issues!

We were without power but all dry...a super soggy lawn and I'm in the same-ish area as Dar- and we have some houses that are currently "lake front" properties...

just glad that i can get out of the house today with DS

We're all good at our house, luckily we live on a hill so no flooding. We did lose internet though and it was still out this morning. I was happy to have an excuse to be housebound with DH & DD all day

I spoke too soon. I posted this at 6:35 and around 7 pm we lost power. It hasn't come back on yet. I'm sitting at a local Panera having lunch and using their internet and plugs to charge my phone and computer. I had to take a shower in the dark this morning since I have no windows in my bathroom (had a candle and flashlight but that didn't do too much). Then I sat outside to let the sun dry my hair since I can't use my hairdryer. I just keep wondering how homeless people do it? I'm just happy that I didn't have any property damage and I didn't buy many groceries that will spoil. I haven't been home much lately to stock up. I was told our power would be out for days possibly. I guess a transformer blew in our area. Funny how the business district didn't lose power but the residential section did. That's the only thing that is annoying me right now.
