Charlie we have had so much rain the last 2 months the flooding issues have been like most folks have never seen.

I live in the same home for 40 years.....bought it in 1971...

Never had water in my basement other than a small area after a really wet spring....

I had ankle deep water at the low end of the pool twice in one weeks time.

Irene was one week and the following week just more heavy rain..

I was pumping water for days and had no sump pump....never needed one before!

Paterson was probably the worst area I saw on TV.....

I am very familiar with Little Falls......and a lot of that area was under water....as they almost always are...but worse than usual.

It's not fun dealing with flooding....Sheetrock and water don't go well together....LOL

Fortunately for me my basement is not finished and never will be....

A number of years ago when we had Hurricane Floyd I was out on a lot of jobs related to the flooding....that one was also very bad also....
