@faeriemoon - I've been thinking for the past month or so that it would be great if we could just pick up the whole country and tilt it so we could have some of the East Coast's extra water to put out all of our fires out west! In my area, we've only had rain during parts of two of the last 60 days, which is unusual even for us. Where are all the cool autumn temperatures?!

Good luck weathering the storm!

@loriqvc That would be quite a trick. Wish we could help you; fires are so scary. Stay safe.

@loriqvc- Would love to send you some of our excess water from SC. Many roads still flooded as well as towns.

Today I was watching Q during VPH show and Leah said "listen to that rain!". You could hear it during the whole presentation...and then talked to family in NJ they said it was a true downpour.

Sometimes it's like this after 4 down here in FL -- although today it missed us!

Same here @faeriemoon, I'm across the Sound on the North Shore and it's crazy. I keep getting flood warnings on my phone, lots of sirens too! Stay dry and safe!

I'm in the New Haven area and OMG the downpours. I was just outside, yes in the heavy rain, had to maneuver some extended downspouts and my neighbor was pulling in his driveway. Said he had to turn around 3 times before finding unflooded roads to make his way home.

My mother is in Fairfield county. She is about to float away. Hopefully the gutters aren't full with the leaves coming down. We had rain today in the midwest. It started pouring on the way home from work. Almost had to pull over.

On the news earlier I heard 95 was flooded and I think it was in Fairfield County.

Even without the rain, we folks in northern CT live on the ark. We live in a woodsy suburb and have always have lots of critters around. Now we have the bears. They are really something! Generally just after bird seed or trash...no can’t keep feeding the birds in warm weather and trash goes out in time to get picked up. When you see one, you just have to slowly walk away. When our GC come over, they are forbidden to play outside without one of us there. We don’t have a fence, but some bears have knocked down fences. As a side note, we managed to get away to the Cape for a while...and, as you all may know, there is a big Great White problem there, as they are looking for all the seals for food. Nope, didn’t venture in the water.

Wishing the the best outcome for all forum friends struggling with terrible flooding. It breaks my heart to see the pictures on the news.

Your lucky - we got another downpour that lasted a long time last night and we lost electricity for a few hours. We are getting mildew all over the pavers in the lanai, the driveway and the walk along the side of the house. DH bought a product to clean them but you need 48 hours without rain to use it.
