    I realize this is after the fact, but a tip as folks are working on cleaning up floodwater, please wear boots and don't do it barefoot. After Katrina, people got sick and even died after being in the floodwater. Glad you are safe!

    Jacob, I'm incredibly relieved to see you home with Jen, and you guys sitting on the couch playing with the stuffed animals put a smile on my face and made me a little sweaty around the eyes. We didn't even lose power in my little slice of Florida, although people close by got the hell knocked out of them. I've heard there's ten feet of sand on the road a mile from me. So yeah. I'm going to count my blessings. A great big virtual hug to you both, and much love.

    Hey Jacob as someone that did fire and flood restoration for 6 years I just want to say thank you very much for thinking of the other people and trying to handle it yourself. But you're right Just suck up the water and put fans down there for a week or two spray some decontaminant

    This is one of those things that no matter how hard as you prepare its the unknowns that we cant prepare for. I still remember the Flood we had here in Macon in 94 and the Mother Day Torando some years back. My heart goes to everyone in NC. I travel to places towns that hurricane wiped away and met some incredible people. My heart breaks for them. One thing this hurricane didnt destroy is strength and kindness of humanity. I pray everything that was loss is renewed again. Taking off New Week to Go Help out Family in Asheville. Stay safe Jacob.

    Best Wishes from Blount County TN. We escaped serious flooding. I have spent time in many of the places affected including Boone and Elizabethton. I lived in Ashville and worked in Biltmore Village. Normally, you can take a running start and nearly jump over the Swannoa river! Hoping everything is fixed soon, hoping to see you on this side of the Smokies soon my friend.

    As a fellow home owner with a basement, water is always an issue in some way or another for us. I'm in South Jersey so I'm not affected by the storm but a helpful tip. When we get water in our basement we use the shop vacuum. Once the canister is full place the sump pump in the shop vac canister with a hose out the window or bilco doors. This way you don't have to move or pick up that heavy canister around.
    Glad to hear you and your family are safe. Be safe out there.

    I live in a "Frequent Hurricane" area. They are such weird storms. On one hand, you have days of advanced warning (unlike, for example, earthquakes) in which to get ready, yet they always seem to throw in curveballs for which you can never adequately prepare, despite all your best efforts.
    Stay safe and best wishes for the recovery efforts to everyone affected.

    Hey Jacob, my house in Auckland, New Zealand is at the top of a small rise which you hardly notice when you're out walking but during the floods a couple of years ago that rise was the difference between our safe home and the flooded homes three doors down. We stayed and slept upstairs but there's nothing like waking up in the morning, hearing cars and thinking yay, we haven't completely flooded. General advice - keep your pets safe, think for your children who don't have the experience to know how to stay safe, watch out for infection in the water.
