That's all you get from levees?

For one thing you might've asked what happens 'when the levee breaks'. Zeppelin.

I'm familiar with both songs and I gotta say: the levee is neither dry nor will it break.

Mum's house is in a dreadful state. The smell of damp is overpowering. her landlords came round to look and were shocked at how bad it is.

Not as dramatic as the flood that took out her living room carpet and furniture a few years ago, but still bad. It's been like a very slow flood. The whole back of the house is waterlogged. Back rooms unusable. Including the kitchen. She tried cleaning up a bit in there and, having not used the oven for a couple of weeks, was horror struck to discover a thick layer of fluffy mould inside. Pans in the cupboard have got mould on them and the food in the cupboards has all been thrown.

It's looking like they may need to do some fairly major work on the house, which will mean she has to find somewhere else to stay for a few weeks. Bit difficult with elderly dog in tow. I live in what is effectively a two roomed house (not including bathroom) with a puppeh. Martin and family have room, but have two dogs (both bitches, one unspayed as yet) and two cats, and a set of high stone steps leading up to their house (difficult for Dan).

Also means they may decide to put her rent up if they have to spend a bunch of cash getting the house sorted.

Still: she's upbeat because at least they're aware and have seenit and were very insistent that this needed sorting. Apologised to her for her having to put up with so much etc. They're decent folk.

Dana - does your mom have renters insurance or similar?

She doesn't have contents insurance, if that's what you mean. Fortunately, most of what's been damaged is easily replacable, for cheaper than the insurance payments would have been. Apart from the cooker, but that is provided by her landlord so will hopefully be covered on their insurance.

It's the pain of living in a damp house and possibly having to leave for a few weeks that's worrying really.

I feel for her. Dampness is one of the worst.

Just saw our forecast - its going to be ONE HUNDRED on thurs and fri.

Sonnofabeeeeyotch. Eff this.

DanaC · 07-04-2012, 05:47 PM

Yikes. I could not cope with temps like that.

I also just saw our weather forecast. They're predicting more flooding Friday and Saturday in my region.

Clodfobble · 07-04-2012, 11:03 PM

Temperatures here are as high as they ever are in the summer (over 100 degrees, most days,) but we are very fortunate that the rain deficit has finally been catching up. This meant we were allowed to have fireworks this year, which was very exciting for the kids.

CRAZY thunderstorm this afternoon. The streets were flooded past the top of the curb in my neighborhood, and a bunch of trees went down.
This is just from my street alone, and yeah those are power lines across the street too.
