MUCH ADO ABOUT A LOT.

I am so happy (not to mention envious). This could not have happened to a nicer guy.

Pretty girls must grow on tree's out there in Philly! Must be Dan's Irish charm!

It takes the right woman to see the charm in a good man.

On the Ditch news there are still items about Irene and the damage she made, Today I got this movie http://youtu.be/jtsT-BIotz4 in my mailbox about a flooding in Ellicot City That is right, Curt's home town... Main Street is a big mess but I hope all is well with Curt and his family!

Curt please let us know how you are.

Ron and Everyone,

We are okay. I have some pictures that I can upload later of the flooding on my lot. You see I live on a flood plain and right next to a small stream that dumps into the Patapsco River not far from my house. The same river that you see in the video and attached. http://youtu.be/BKCgqvvv_cU

We were lucky - no damage and no wet basement. This was the worst rain event we have ever seen.

There was also a retaining wall that fell that was 170+ years old.

Okay I thought we were done here - Earthquake, Hurricane and Record breaking rainfalls - what's next???

Next: extreme heat.

Glad you guys are ok!!!

[savvy59]

Well we set record high temperatures as well just a few weeks ago - so I'm guessing a sandstorm!

Here are two crappy cell phone pictures - but you get the idea.

The stream that runs by my house is usually 3 feet wide and 8 inches deep (spring fed) and never runs dry.

This water would have been about 7 or 8 feet deep and stretched about 150 feret wide in the front yard picture!

Still raining here tonight and more rain is expected through the eweekend!

Stay Dry.

No problem on the two pictures I have two eyes and it works out better!

Are those 2 pics the same? Thought they were taken 0,001 second apart.
Take a close look at the 1045th leaf on the tree. It just moved a little bit by the wind.
Don't lose the count on those leaves or you will have to start all over again

Darn Matthew and those eagle eyes of his! You are right of course!!!
