Noah, Where Are You?

So far, we still have power. A good thing too, since our basement is quite wet (about 2 inches worth of wet) and our sump pump is working overtime to try to cope with the stream of water flowing in from the storm.

The wind and rain seem to be manageable at this point. According to NOAA, over 8 inches of rain have fallen already in this area with about 1-2 more inches due in the next few hours.

Our yard is covered in leaves and branches. Will have to check the roof after the storm for damage from the branches we heard fall upon it.
