Alison's basement flooded, starting on Sunday night. Marshall said it is frozen outside right now, so there is no new water coming in at the moment. They had to tear up carpet pad and throw it away. Carpets are propped up and drying with big fans blowing on them. Thanks for those of you who have loaned fans to help. Marshall was up digging trenches and bailing water out of the trenches until early Monday morning. Does anyone remember the adventure of the floods in their house on 100 North in Orem? There should be a picture somewhere of that. I have not heard of any more floods on that road since then.
Stefanie remembers the 6 inches plus of water in her basement in the old house. She said she just walked upstairs and closed the door and didn't know what to do. But there seems to be a correlation with great sledding hills in the backyard and floods in the basements.

I remember that storm. Jon picked me up and dropped me in the clogged drain. In fact... most of my early memories include Jon dropping me, Jon scaring me, Jon making me stand upside down on my head, and Jon sitting on me til the ice in my pants Derrick put there melted. That and going to Mcdonalds with Shelley. Thanks shel!
ReplyDeleteAlison truly is cursed when it comes to floods! Good thing she doesn't live near the Mississippi!
ReplyDeleteDavid, I apologize that none of my torture has remained in your memory.
