East Coast residents struggle with flooding and power outages after storms ripped across the US

SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL I Had a Power Outage with Our Winter Storm Yesterday but Thankfully it was Short Lived. Less than an Hour. I've Done Much Longer!

Call it New Venice.

SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL - This was one h3lluv@ storm that blew in from the Gulf of Mexico, hit florida and pounded the ATLANTIC shoreline all the way up to Massachusetts and Rhode Island and beyond!!! My wife and I woke up to 2 feet of water in our basement, due to a small pond that filled up with left over 6" of snow melt and then about 2"of rain!!! 8 of our homes got the bathtub in the basement effect... Contractors have pumped water out of the Pond area allowing the excess water to drain away from our homes! I watched as a contractor came into our home, into the cellar to open the cellar door and an OCEAN of water rushed over the threshold onto our patio and the cellar is still draining! Cleaning up is going to be a B**ch!!! To top it off, homeowners insurance will not cover the damage... I was scheduled to fly to FLorida on Saturday and now that too has been cancelled!!! Oh well I guess we'll get through it!
