This is the second time I have had my basement flooded - right when the Oriental Hourglass is due. Last time this happened, the Blocks of the Orient were coming in.....Up till 5am this morning, a 1.5 hour nap before I had to come to work...skies are threatening again, no one home....Talk about raining on my parade...

So sorry you got flooded. I've had that happpen to me inthe past & it's so much work to get cleaned up & it's so discouraging to lose your possessions. I'm sorry for anyone it happens to. And all this other bad weather that has brought heartache to so many.
