We are getting POUNDED here in SW Connecticut with torrential rain
Is Connecticut big enough to require compass-oriented geographic location?
Lived many places, but only flooded basements twice.... both in Pennsylvania (after all, PA knows how to do flooding.... ask anyone from Johnstown, PA). One was lost possessions stored in basement and having washer and dryer up on pallets for a while.
Other was a unfinished basement/crawlspace with 5 foot of water in it....for about 4 days. No where to drain it too.... lived in low spot in neighborhood, and eveyone else pumping out finished basements flowed down to me. Nothing down there but to worry about mold and mildew after..... but front and rear rolled sod lawns were literally floating above the ground during the worst of it.
