Disaster struck Northeast Ohio Wednesday night!
A freak rain storm that started at about 4:30 p.m. and ended at about 9 p.m. has caused severe flooding! While weather forecasters initially said we saw about three inches of rain, our neighborhood suspects it was much more than that amount. The lake reformed behind our home and one neighbor said the roaring water sounded like Niagara Falls. It was at least five feet high near our apple trees.
The Orbit Room was impacted! While the new sump pump did it's job and the areas of the basement fixed with the foundation repair last spring remained dry, water seeped in from below the house near the water meter and sewer access. It was NOT sewage water as originally feared.
Sadly, The Orbit Room was breached and the new rug may have been ruined. Most of the new furniture was removed and is safe.
We just finished hauling out about 50 gallons of water with the help of our friend Todd. There is much to do tomorrow.
More later,
Mark

Forget my sump pump comment on the other post. I did read in order. HA.
