Severe flooding in upstate NY
To everyone who's games I'm in or who I'm playign alongside, I haven't been able to be online at all the whole weekend as my house still has no power. My town was one of the hardest hit with flash floods over the weekend, and so far one person had drowned and others are missing. It's very bad and I'm staying at a friends house, fortunately only 2 or 3 feet of water got in my basement as my house sits higher up than others on our street. I'm at work now where I can only check on for about 10 or 5 minutes at a time, but I figured I'd drop a line to let everyone know what's going on.

Stay Safe.............
Stay safe and be careful. Water does odd things to homes. Be careful with power and check floor supports. With that much water you might get back flushing on sewage that can come up in the basement if you are coennected to a sewer line. Washers and dryers have motors near the floor, so do most furnaces, so be sure they are unplugged and cleaned before you turn then on.
Get pictures of the damage for insurance claims. Show all the stuff floating and get closeups of any big dollar items. You can never have too much proof. Home owners doesn't always cover flood, but have it all ready so you can file. Get it all down, cloths, books, anything that's water damaged. If you end up having to go through State or Fed disaster relief then you're way ahed on your claim. Someiwhere there may be foundation damage too. I know this sounds a bit materialistic but the government and insurance companies are not charities and you need to be prepared support your claims.
Our thoughts are with you and we are glad you are safe.

Sorry to hear that, and I hope the water drains away soon.

Ach, floods!
New York has been affected too? What a terrible shame- there have been floods all over the place. Alberta got quite the worst of it here in Canada; luckily, I live quite far from there.
I'm sorry to hear about your complicated and quite wet situation over there, good sir! I do hope it clears up down there and that you and your family have suffered little damage generally and financially. Those floods can be quite expensive...
