RAIN, RAIN & MORE RAIN!!! It has been raining continuously since Sunday night, with it ending about just two hours ago. People are buinding arks & going about town in kayaks! My poor husband was up all night pumping out a basement at work & the guys from todays shift are still there working! He just got home from pumping out his parents basement and is getting ready to tackle ours. We are very lucky though compared to some people we know. We live on the second floor and we are high and dry, other than some things in our storage space that may be under a few inches of good ole H2O.
My husband is calling it "armageddon" because roads are closed all over. A few towns are now declared to be in a state of emergency and the governor has activated the CT National Guard to help with the water. There were people fighitng over sump pumps at the local hardware store today, so badly in fact the PD had to go break it up!!! It must be the impending full moon affecting people! He went over to the local home repair shop and the rows where the shop vacs & sump pumps would be are completely empty-they were full on Sunday before the rain started. As far as I know, there have been no injuries or loss of life from this deluge, just alot of soggy basements and weary homeowners. The reservoir is so full, there will definately be no drought this summer.
