Hello community ...

Leaving a message that my apartment got flooded last night, and it was quite the traumatic experience. This was the first time in 21 yrs that I've lived in this complex that flooding occurred. Definitely not expected given the details of everything.

It happened later in the evening and was a steady water level rise. I had to call 911 rescue, and that's when the traumatic experience began. I'll spare you the details, but I DID get to ride in an airboat part of the way to meeting up with my brother.

The water level was a bit above my knees before it started to recede after the rescue team got there. My stuff was floating, heavy stuff, including my stereo/TV setup that was moving away from the wall.

I'm sure my computer was damaged because of where it was sitting, but I couldn't go check it. The water created pockets under the carpeting and if you walked it would create waves.

A total assessment of everything will need to be done and my brother will handle that.

In the meantime, I'm at my brother's home about 30-40 minutes away given traffic. Not sure what I'm going to do at this point, but suffice it to say, that I won't be in the game anytime too soon.

While I'm not about, ShadowDragonV and Tedros Daemonos will assist the community as much as possible. They both are a great help, and it's appreciated.

I'll keep you updated as things progress.

Thanks guys, there's a lot to be done beginning with my brother and best friend going to my apt this afternoon and doing an assessment of everything. I also have no doubt that I will have to rebuild my computer operation, so fun times ... not to mention finding a new place to live ... not sure moving into the other apt now is a good idea.

I was actually in shock when it all happened because I lived in that gated community for 21 yrs and this never happened before.

The water got to just above knee level prettty fast before it started to recede, and it was difficult to walk on the carpet because the water created pockets underneath and when I tried to walk it created waves. I just sat still until the 911 rescue team got there.

I'll check back in when I can, but for now I'm trying to take care of VS business and the community as best I can with the help of Shadow and Tedros.

Catch up soon.
