Default FLOODS

Well I just got back from my parents house...they are on vacation and we have had some very heavy rain the last few days...Well there looks to have been about a ft of water in their house at some pt today...I opened the basement stairwell door and it is full level with the ceiling in the basement...I went out to the garage(that is where I keep my cars as I don't have a garage) and oh what a mess. MY dad has a VERY NICE 1967 elCamino...full of water, My 72 Chevelle...full of water. Parts wash tank turned over spilling solvent everywhere which floated around and got inside the camino .....oil, gas smell everywhere...enough water had went in there to float a full size refridgerator up enough for it to turn over and fall On my Nova.....two Big Block Chevy engines I had sitting around have now been under water...only thing that kept my motor in the race car dry is I have it on jackstands working on the brakes....but the worst is their house, of coarse.Car stuff is least of my concern.... Home owners insurance don't cover flood damage. Their whole neighborhood was evacuated earlier today by boat....water has went way down now but damage is done. Many families lost big time in that area,...keep them in your prayers cause I'm sure it will be a rough rest of the summer now...sorry guys just venting cause I am literally sick at my stomach right now... the fun part will be breaking the news to my parents when I reach them...they are in their 70's. and went out of State to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary.
