The Storm

Flooding!  A wee bit of water from the ocean has invaded some parts of the Jersey shore.

The storm raged all the way up to Maine.  The ocean waves were raging and wild.
 California has had a super surf as well.  Both NJ and California have had waves of more than 20 to 30 feet.. great for surfers but, a bit extreme.

As the plumber was putting in the shower pan, he had to cut down into the crawl space which was flooded.  I need a new sump pump. 
This close to the water we don't have basements because the water table is way too high. Many houses are on stilts too.

Here are a few photographs for Friday photos.

  3. Love the sky photos. I had similar looking skies tonight that I posted on FB. I hope the sump pump issue can be resolved under your house. I pray the flooding will not come near your doorstep. Praying for your safety and comfort. Love the horse picture, and I see above that is your "Famous Anonymous". LOVE that!!! Wow! Take care my friend.
