Today is a sunny, beautiful day, with the temp supposed to be at 68. The snow has been gone for awhile, but still seeing all the damage that was done to the trees. Most everybody here has power back, but some were without for a few days. It was bad because most of the trees still had leaves, which made a bed for the snow and caused limbs to break. All the damage to the trees was sad to see, but the falling limbs brought down power lines. It was a heavy wet snow, so that made it worse.
We only lost power for 45 min (we didn't know it tho). Rick and I were driving home, so we called a neighbor to go over and look in our basement. But no rain, so nothing to cause huge amounts of water anyway. We need to get a battery backup on that sump pump, now that we know that with lots of rain, it will fill the sump pump area. And with no power, no sump pump to get it out. During the hurricane, when our basement flooded, we already had about 20 inches of rain in just a few short weeks, so the ground was saturated and more than ready to cause problems.
This storm happened 2 weeks ago anyway.
