I hope all is ok at Jim's house. This is a picture I took this morning. It is Old Hermanville rd. The only way in to Jim's.

See Tina,

If you'd been on a GS you wouldn't have been worried about carrying only two tires

We're OK.. The water was almost 5ft over the road at one point. Part of our Driveway washed out again, but otherwise OK. I did have to tie one of my trailers to a tree to keep it from washing away. The house was still well above the high water mark and the basement is still dry. I felt bad about not going to work :^o until I found out that most of the roads were flooded over and closed. So work was closed too. =D>

I was in Salt Lake (big surprize) during the BIG storm, and was texting Tracey as to what to do.. checking the basement. We have a French Drain, and two dry wells and talking to her I don't think I sump pump ever turned on.

REALLY glad you guys came out ok. One of the people I work for JUST closed on their house (new construction) about a month before and had serious water problems in their basement.
