I am writing this from a safe location, i.e., someplace that isn't flooded, unlike my neighborhood right now.
Yep, Irene got me.
As of eleven this morning, when Little Girl and I headed for the hills, we had gotten over four inches of rain. The creek made it all the way across the park and into my side yard, and that's when I decided to split.
From what I understand, the street in front of my house flooded, but there were no evacuations, so I'm hoping ... well, I'm hoping. My garage is at grade level, but the house is itself is up eighteen inches on a crawlspace, so ... I'm hoping.
I'll kept you posted as I can, but I probably won't have internet access again until sometime tomorrow, so don't worry if you don't hear anything right away.
Talk to you soon.

About Me
- rockygrace
- I was born in 1962; you do the math. (See also: I'm too lazy to remember to update this thing regularly.) I bought my first house in the summer of 2009; I share it with four cats and with the memories of The Runt and Little Girl, who both passed away in 2011. Rocky, the cat for whom this blog was named, passed away in 2008; I miss them all. I wish I lived somewhere where the winters weren't eight months long; other than that, life is good.

Shoot -- sorry to hear that. We're dry, mostly...the basement took some water and the back yard might dry out before winter, but we got off pretty light. I'll hope with you that you'll go back to a mainly dry house.

Ugh! I was wondering how you were doing. I watched the news and saw that it was heading your way. Stay safe and we'll be waiting to hear!
Thanks, guys - the house stayed dry! Whew. I'll have a post up soon.
Yay! One intact survivor!
