The Big Storm

We got hammered by a HUGE storm a couple of weeks ago. Our power was off for about 4 days. Consequently, our basement, that has a sump-pump for such heavy rains, was off an did not pump the water out of the basement. It rained constantly for three days and the waters rose! This Nor'easter packed a big punch. With 50-50 mph winds and constant rain, we were left with three feet of water in the basement and numerous trees down.





The flooded basement destroyed the furnace, hot water heater, and the washer/dryer. We were without these for an additional week after the power came on! Not fun.



This is roughly 3 feet of water. You can see where it came in through the back window of the basement. All is repaired now thanks to the Princeton Seminary crew!




This tree blocked our road for about 4 days.



These are some turkeys from down the road assessing the damage.
