Willy, thanks for the kind thoughts.. Hope your bro-in-law is ok. River in front of my house is set to crest Tuesday midday. Supposed to crest at 14.5 feet above flood stage. To put that into prospective, the worst flood in recorded history for the Passaic river was 17.2 feet above flood stage, set in 1907. This will be the second worst if the predictions hold up. Water can enter my house throught the garage door, and 14.5 will
put the water about 3 1/2 feet high in my (finished) basement :(. I have metal panels that I've placed across the door. If they hold then we'll be ok except for the seepage.. if they let go my basement is totaled... just like your bro-in-law.. if they are off by 6 inches or so it's goodby basement, hello new boiler,washer, dryer, tons of tools and equipment, etc etc etc.. <sigh> This story is getting old.. We can use prayers if anyone has some spares lying around. Will keep you guys posted as time goes by and the story unfolds.
