SBG, Sounds like the little old man went home...
I can't imagine 2' of water in my house! Although the basements here do often get water in them if they aren't sealed well. Michigan used to be a lot of swamp land until the past generations moved the earth around in it. Now it's a lot of lakes, with underground water being quite near the surface.
Jeanie, cool breezes, yum! :-)
