    Thanks, Guys! I will be OK. Spent the day hauling out carpet and padding, running the wet vac. Going with tile this time! Everything will get back to normal eventually.
    I fared better than some, for certain!

    My Thanks. This urban atmosphere has me weary. They buy a house, tear it down, and put 2 on it. Make a guy building a new business do a retention pond. Then a horse pasture becomes a silly Dr. Seuss town of stupid structures right 3 feet from one another. THEN, they are all dismayed at the flooding. Then, the Mayor. Another discussion for another time.
    Then, there are those in rural settings effected more severe. Go figure....
    I just hope all are OK!

    Sorry to hear that Tom, but glad everyone in your house came through it uninjured. I was thinking about you when I started the thread on Texas & Oklahoma. We live in a 50 year flood plain here and have had one in 11 years, which is enough!

    Take care as you work on the place.

    Sometimes, I fear the flood plain map is exaggerated! Second or third one in 15 years. Another a few years back from that. THEN, there are the occasional hurricanes, even tornadoes. I suppose each locale has it's risk! We don't have earthquakes!

    Very sorry to hear, trust that everyone is safe.
    Unfortunately we have far too many in Texas who have lost more than "things" in the past week - all are in our thoughts and prayers.

    Pull the family together as a team,,,don't take all actions/responses upon your shoulders alone,,,delegate them to family members,,, it takes just enough pressure off you to keep you focused,,, it strengthens the family as a whole,,, increasing survival odds.

    When it clears,,, reach out to us if needed.
