 Happiness is finding the last Generator in the Area
We had severe storms here late Friday night. In all my years, never seen lightning and torrents of rain like that night. We got over 7 inches of rain in around 4 hours. We lost power at 11:50 PM. Got a call from Brinks (ADT) that the water bug in my simp pit went off at 4 am. When the power went out, the back up battery operated Pump ran continuously. If finally died, and the water was 2" from the top, just waiting to spill over and flood the finished basement. Marge said she is going to get a generator. I laughed and said good luck, you will not find one. Well, she got the last generator on the last truck into Home Depot. She got it home, fired it up, and ran the pumps, and the Coffee Pot! She saved the day as I pretty much gave up and said it will flood and nothing we can do about it. I then alled 2 neighbors and they ran 100's of feet of electric cord to tap into it. Marge is the Block Hero! |
