After the storm.

[F, Calla & Luca]

We had torrential rain all night and now it's merely raining. The electricity just wavered but remained on. No trees down although I heard things hitting the roof. The basement has a couple of inches of water. They say the rivers will crest and flood in the coming days. The reverse 911 warned us to stay off town roads which are flooded. It could have been much worse here and I hope everyone fared as well.

My biggest fear was getting the dogs out but Luca decided that about 5:30 pm last night was enough til 10:30 today. Then he was carrying on around the shed where the woodchucks live. Could they have climbed up inside or on the vines? I'm sure the burrow is flooded and he was barking towards the roof of the shed. I had to "lasso" him and bring him in. I was afraid he could get into the brook if the fence was weakened.

The brook behind my house is a raging torrent with white water. In places the yard slants, thankfully, toward the brook and I felt water running through my crocs. Let us know how you are when you can.

Jane,so good to hear from you and thank goodness you're all OK.

[Diana Erhart]

I am very glad to hear that all is safe and well at your home!  Thanks for letting us know that you made it through ok!

[F, Calla & Luca]

Yay Jane. I am so happy all is relatively well with you. After the rain part of the storm we had lots of wind. We'll have no power for up to a week. But my generator is keeping us comfortable. The river flooding in NJ is bad. But thankfully there were very few fatalities.

[Pat and Traveler]

So glad to hear Jane & F Parker are okay!  First thing I did this morning was check DK.  Stay safe, guys!

[Ricki and Tara (doodle)]

F.that generator has certainly paid for itself this week!  Glad to hear all is well with you other than the power being out. Are your doodles smiling too?

[F, Calla & Luca]

Worth every penny and there were a lot of them. This is just the kind of event, aside from blizzards, I worried about. We are all smiling and the weather is magnificent!

[Jane, Guinness and Murphy]

F, do you have your power back?  Are you doing okay?

[F, Calla & Luca]

Nope as to power, see above. But we are fine, thanks.

[Jennifer,Chloe & Myla]

Hope to hear from you SOON F!!!!

[F, Calla & Luca]
