Well in case you haven't heard by now, we had a storm over Florida for a while. We stomped around in the puddles while the center of Fay stalled right on top of us for hours, flooding areas just South of us.
As we went to bed that night I mentioned to Michelle that, "I wouldn't be suprised if the lake was halfway into the back yard tomorrow." Overnight Fay moved North and then stalled again dumping quite a bit of rain on us (I've heard anywhere from 24 to 36 inches!!) The next day we could have went swimming in the yard, but with all the talk on TV about sewer systems overflowing we decided to stay out of the water.
The water was still a few feet from the house, but we ended up with wet carpet in the back two bedrooms somehow. So after much deliberation, we decided to rip out the carpet to keep the water from soaking its way any further into the rest of the house. Then I raced to Home Depot to buy some dehumidifiers before they were all gone.
So to finish a very long story (by my standards) we have the rooms dried out and new carpet has been installed already. We feel very fortunate to have just minor damage to deal with. Thank you Lord for watching over us!
