My house flooded.  I woke up this morning to about 4 feet of muddy water in the basement.  Overnight my town was hit with a really, really bad flash flood that affected pretty much everyone in my neighborhood and several neighboring towns.  I am not sure yet if my house is a lost cause but we will be trying to salvage what we can.  If we can't, we may have to move and that'll be another big problem on its own.  I'm currently staying with a friend, but I will be going back to my house frequently to help with the damages and get rid of the bunch of destroyed furniture and other things from the basement.

I don't know how long this will take.  Please keep this situation in mind as future updates may be slow.  No projects are canceled.  I'm running on about 2 hours of sleep and a lot of walking and moving, but I will still try to work as much as I can in the meantime.

If by chance you would like to help us with the damage and repair costs (or potentially another place to live if it comes to that) please consider donating to gdzieman@charter.net, which is my parents' Paypal.  Please do not send it to me, send it to them so it can be used. We lost a lot and the help is appreciated.

 Apologies for the inconvenience.  Life comes at you fast.

I wish you the best, I hope that not everything is a lost cause.

the more I learn about you the more it sounds like you made a genie mad at you at some point. I'm glad ur okay and I hope everything gets sorted. If you do move I hope the neighborhood is nice. Does your family have home insurance?

We do, but they don't cover flood damage so insurance won't help us any. The most the insurance company is willing to give us is the same amount as the deductible, which is pretty moot. I wouldn't try to reach out like this if I didn't feel it were necessary.
