just got home from work and found my Kayak floating in the woods. Had to put on waders to go get it.Rains coming down so hard the road is covered and I live on a hill. Wheel barrel is even filled to overflowing.

Warwick Sewer Plant closed till further notice; West Warwick Wastewater Facility under water-not functioning...Cranston Facility still is running (according to Mayor....but Pawtuxet is still rising)....does not bode well for the Upper Bay. The clock is definately ticking on this disaster.....guys will be bullraking off of Bonnet Shores....

yeah i was due for a pumpin. She told me that the field will probably flow back into the tank and cost me more to pump. The water table is so friggin high right now water has no where to go and I live in a town that is a swap basically. The fun of home ownership.

When it recedes the trees are full of plastic shopping bags that are there for a season or two. Doesn't look nice.

This is from about 2pm. That's the Blackstone in the back. The water in the parking lot is not a puddle, it's the river. Just checked.. right now it's right up to curb at the sidewalk on the right. Just a few more inches, and it's coming through the doors.

Water hasn't come in for a few hrs. now ... Exausted .. Good night Irene ....

Went for 16 hours straignt yesterday. Collapsed about 10 PM. Back at it at 1:30 AM.

Water is still coming it but has slowed considerably. Everything is wet in my basement. Don't know if homeowners insurance covers me but I have 2 new couches, a new queen size bed with matress and box spring all soaked. Tip of the iceberg as my wife is an absolute pack rat.

Only part of the basement that stayed dry was the man cave

2am this morning, one small pump was not keeping up. rebuilt an old one with a bad switch and put it into service. it turned the tide. had just replace the hot water heater monday. looks like it is going to make it. crap (used to be stuff) floating all around in 6-8" of water.

I have an extra 3/4 hp sump pump if any one needs to borrow it. I replaced it a few years ago and forgot that I still had it. It's old, but works fine. If anyone wants to borrow it and can pick it up in Easton, let me know.
