Happy to hear you're safe. I hope you have insurance and can restore things soon.

We live in Vermont and thought we were safe -- until Irene turned us upside
down. We evacuated to my wife's mother's place 10 miles away. We returned not
expecting to have a house -- our house was okay from the floor joists upward,
but we lost everything in the basement, all our lower gardens down to bedrock,
and some outbuildings. We'll never be complacent again -- and watched
Florence, which was following the same path as Irene initially, with great
trepidation.
