Here on the Blackstone it's now over the banks and coming into the parking lot of the complex. One more foot and it will be coming into the entrances and down into the basement like it did a few years ago.

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

I am gonna build an ark

I had to build a levee to keep water from getting to my fishing room, it held so far but it's about to go over the top

no pumps available anywhere

I should have seen this coming

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.

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.
