Ugh! You have my sympathy Fey and, of course, your safety is paramount but I hope you are able to save your home and as many of your belongings as is possible.

I've had flooding in my house before...I'm not in a flood zone but my house sits below the neighboring ones and so I get everyone's runoffs. 😝 Usually it isn't a problem but we had a 500-year event back in 2009 and I had 6 inches in the entire basement...and I lost a lot of papers and had some damage. But I bought several pieces of equipment - a large dehumidifier, a wet vac, a small pump, and an air mover - cleaned it all up and was prepared for the next time. There's been 3 floodings since, nowhere near as bad and much easier to clean up quickly to avoid damage. And I don't have anything easily damaged at floor level anymore. Still even that small level of flooding is disheartening and it sounds like yours is much worse. But I have friends, family and colleagues around the country who have experienced regular flooding, some of it probably worse than yours, and they have come through it each time, without losing their homes. Just know this too shall pass and your lives will return to normal. So hunker down for now then chin up and hang in there...and know we're all here for you...and don't worry about the game. 😍
