So the Weiner clan, which now numbers 10, is relatively safe and sound on top of a mountain. The wind and rain have been nasty with many trees and poles down around here and even a little flooding. As for back home, we are not sure. All of our friends who we talked to are okay thank God. Even with the storm gone, we remain at risk of flooding. Supposing the storm left our house intact, water damage is still possible. With all the recent rain and being so close to the seawall our former swamp land is trouble waiting to strike. Luckily, we don't have a basement and our crawlspace has a sump pump. Unfortunately, I never got a generator and was not there to bail water if (which is likely) power was lost or a window was damaged. If not for little poppy, I would have driven back today to find out. The fact is though, there is a baby and the gusts are still strong (branches and logs are falling outside at a great rate). We don't know how safe the roads are yet. So we decided to wait one more day and let the road crews do their job. Best case or house is fine, worst case I will be having long conversations with our insurance adjuster. Either way we plan to stay alive and healthy. Still if you read this, live nearby, it is safe to leave your house and you happen to do a driveby, please let us know what's up. Geez why do we live over an old swamp?
