Hurricane Irene

CJ (and all of us) experienced our first Hurricane this weekend. Somehow, CJ slept through it! The worst hit between 11pm and 3am Saturday night. Here are a few pictures of the aftermath at our house after.

Our basement at 1am



Our basement the next morning. Not safe to enter for a better photo since the water was above the electrical sockets and we weren't sure we turned off the right breaker switch (which also happens to be in the door on the left in this photo). The carpet is actually floating. In total, we had about 18" of water.


Grandpa came to save the day!

    Glad Peter was able to help you guys! Hope you have it all cleaned up now and concerned if the carpet is salvageable and the other items down there in the basement! Pls let me know! Love, Mom
