Hurricane Isaias came through yesterday with a vengeance. Spawned multiple tornados and caused tons of damage. Many roads are still impassible. Our power went out just as the rain started to come down the heaviest. I've been through hurricanes before, but this one dumped more water than I have ever seen in such a short amount of time. Before I could get my generator hooked to my sump pump, my finished basement was flooded with inches of water. It was pouring in the window wells, which were complete filled with about 14" of water. The french drain couldn't handle the amount of water. Frankly, I am not sure my sump would have kept up with that volumen of water. There just was no place for that much water to go. My street looked like a river.
Power just came a couple hours ago and so the cleanup and damage mitigation begins. This totally sucks, but in the end it could have been much worse. We are safe and I can repair my basement.
My reloading shop:
This home took the brunt of one of the tornados about a 1/2 mile away.
