Holy hell im screwed!!

[Big Hitter]

Well I finally made it out with some supplies but I was a bit late to catch Amajn .....

We have two ways out of my valley ... well three ... Front street either way which is underwater 500 yards from my house in one direction and underwater 1000 yards the other. Luckily in that 1500 yards we have a couple of stores for supplies.

The other way is up a huge azz hill called smith hill road. They fixed the bottom this morning I was able to get up and over.
I spent 1:40 to go about 8 miles It was good to get out and see the carnage though, we are in rough shape with places very close to us. I've seen houses where the only thing visible was the roof

To me it looks worse than the big flood we had in 2006 ....... That was supposed to be a "100 year flood" ??
Well its been five years so I guess we should have 195 years before the next one.

Crazy weather for sure, very heartbreaking to see it first hand.

We were luck for having a major river less than 1/4 mile away.

Thank you to everyone with the offers and well wishes .... we are just fine at Big Hitter's house.


We are safe and dry and there is lasagna and garlic bread in the oven ......
And some sweet smelling vapor in the air ..... thats all I need right now.

Spoke with my mother in maine they just pumped out almost ten thousand gallons of water from her home its bad everything in west corners gone my uncles house is submerged he lost everything

Have not been able to make it back to my house rds are still blocked and cannot travel them

But on a positive note

I have some cartos and disposables to vape on for now ........ and some stuff being overnighted from huge kind hearted person! Who has been always good to me!

We just made some hamburgs and macaroni and cheese and we are watching nfl on the tube its funny as bad as it is

Good for you hanging tough!!! Since you have an address that you can get deliveries at, just let us know if there is anything that you need. I have a couple of spare REOs, battery charger, juice, whatever.

 

[lostknitter]

I also have a couple of spare REOs that won't be needed till December. You have all kinds of support here in the REO family, I hope you will let us know if we can help. Also, if your wife or kids need something we can get to them.

 

[Amajn]

but for sure after all this crazyness i will be putting backups in my car and family members house even just ego/510 kits

Also i could have avoided this by bringing my woodvil instead of the mini i love the mini but 3ml+ 4-5 hours of batt use does not cut it in with a state of emergency!!!!!!!

 

[Amajn]

Thx lostknitter Appreciate it!!

I'm so sorry for your plight Amajn. Would it be worth contacting a local tv station for help? It worked here, it was in a different state to me but I was amazed by how much help the average person was willing to give Sending lots of positive vibes your way

 

[lion6255]

Sending good Karma your way....Hopefully things will dry out and get back to normal soon.

 

[mlinky]

Please try to take care of yourself while you are taking care of everybody. {{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}

Peace!
