Thanks to the rain Hurricane Ivan brought our way, much of downtown Marietta is underwater as I write this. At about 1:00 this afternoon, our old house on Front Street had about six inches of water in the basement. So I put trash bags on my feet and went down to bring a few boxes and what-not upstairs. Based on where they're saying it will crest tomorrow, the water in the basement could be waist-high. I sure hope not, as that will probably mean a ruined furnace and hot water tank. Just what we need.
Then when I got home from that fiasco, I found that water was already flowing up from the drain in our new house. Thankfully I think the drain plug is actually working and I've gotten it to stop. Just have to keep my fingers crossed until it crests tomorrow afternoon.
More updates on this debacle as it unfolds, plus Monday is ultrasound day, so we'll have a full report on that as well. To see the current flood level downtown, click here.
