Did you folks make it through the storms okay? Are you under water? Everybody okay?

Hi Pony!
Yes, we're fine. But I've had it with the biannual basement wring out situation. We're gathering estimates starting on Monday.
We had a flash flood warning, but personally, there's only a little creek that runs behind us and it's quite a drop off from the back of our yard to the edge of that creek. We're in a 100 year flood zone.
The ground is saturated from having so much rain all summer, and we keep getting these one and two day steady rain storms.
This last one that blew through kind of missed us as far as wind damage goes, but hit all around south and north. We were pretty lucky in that regard. Only thing is, we got about 4 inches of rain. The yard flooded, and still is to a degree. I hope we get some dry weather for a while so things can dry out.
Needless to say, the blight took off in the tomato patch like a wild fire.
My friend in Wheaton is staying in a hotel right now. They've been without power since the storm. Trees have fallen on houses and across the street all over their neighborhood. Nobody was hurt, but it's still a hassle.
So, how about you? Are you all okay?
Good to hear from you!
