(from 1/07/09)
SO....just talked to Brian! He is not having a good day! His house was fine at 4:30 this morning when he left....then the neighbor called and his family tracked him down to tell him that he better get home!!
When he got there the neighbor was trying to save anything he could!!
His entire backyard, railroad posts, fence, patio...everything! Is GONE! Yep! The same backyard he spent ALL summer working on!!
He has placed everything he can on top of his pool table as the water was entering his home and garage!! YIKES!! As we were talking the County called to tell him its no longer safe and he needs to evacuate!!
Brian is handling all this very well...I think he is in SHOCK!! He does have flood insurance...but we know how that goes!!
He is worried about the 5th wheel floating away...so he was trying to figure out what to do!!
Don't panic...I'm not doing a clothing/item drive for him...YET :)
Just thought I would share and give you something to file under "could be worse"...I was just complaining about the RAIN...now my complaints don't seem too bad!

Backyard...BEFORE!
The "Larson River" was still roaring through his backyard and around his house last night, but this morning he woke up to MUD...wet sticky "bleep.... bleep.... bleeping" MUD!
If anyone needs mud...let me know cause Brian has TONS to get out of his house and yard with no where to put it :)
He is already having "lovely" experiences with insurance agents both flood and homeowners...so I'm pretty sure this "mess" is just beginning!!
I told Brian I would make sure and say - thanks for all the calls and emails offering help and support!
I just keep being reminded of all the thoughtful and caring people I know!!
...stay tuned for possible "clean up crew" info!!
IT HAS BEEN FOREVER!
