dried out.

Well, just when we were congratualting ourselves that we survived the earthquake, the cicada locusts and Hurricane Irene, we got hammered by Tropical Storm Lee. The flooding rivals that of Hurricane Agnes in 1972, and the loss of property and infastructure will be ginormous. Here at Chez Us, we have shoved drowned stuff into 15 big black trash bags, with more to be bagged, and the sump pump and wetvac are earning their keep. I am considering sending them on a nice vacation when this is all over, in gratitude.
