Throw us a line...it's a river out there!

Jeanne strikes havoc in the tri-state area! What a night! It's been raining pretty steadily since around 2 pm or so. And it's after 11 in the evening and it's still raining. We had a little water in the basement. Less than expected, but in different spots. One is near the heater-not good. We have a call to the Amish roofer who put up the roof last year. I sure hope he doesn't have to go down the basement. It's still a disaster down there, especially where he needs to look. I doubt he will come in. He'll probably just seal the flashing again. And the other water was outside our finished room when it was usually in it. We added dirt along that side of the house so maybe that helped a bit. We just swept the water into a hole cut out of the corner of the basement. There's lots of flooded out roads and a few 'small' tornadoes touched down in New Jersey and Delaware. We think the end of our road is flooded out as there is a creek there. There's 6 inches of rain in Wilmington, about 15 or so miles away.
I made an early dinner of beef stew just in case we lost power. It only flickered a bit. Brian was a little spazzed and was up and down checking things all night. I tried to work on a quilt square and I had one color done in the middle design of a beehive and it wasn't centered. So that got ripped out along with some lettering. One step forward, two steps back.
My brother and his family made it home safe from Disney World this morning around 2:30 am. They spent the few days they were stuck there in their hotel room eating and watching tv. Both my brother and his wife had to go to work today, but in the afternoon.
Hope all is well in the morning. Sean is waiting for his first delay. As a senior he doesn't have to make up the missed days.
