Hopefully you can recover what is important when you can get back into your Home and assess everything that survived the Flood.Bohemianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03743017084098726581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6257946950022707026.post-34272306442152892432021-11-16T14:30:52.378-08:002021-11-16T14:30:52.378-08:00I do not do fackbuk, but the picture (photograph /...I do not do fackbuk, but the picture (photograph / still) and the graph do explain what is, so no need to see more water on Zuckerzwerg's machine.<br /><br />Where is the water supposed to go to ? Is that Nooksack the only exit ? I mean, what determines how long this water will stay where it actually is ? It makes a difference whether a construction is submerged / flooded for only two days or two weeks. Damage is done, yes, but there may be a differnece between a total loss and an economical repair.<br /><br />To chip my two cents in : As you describe it, it is different from former floodings because of the sheer amount of rain - is this likely to repeat or a once-in-whatever occurrence ? Was it some "runaway accident" or is it the logical result of former developments ?<br /><br />All thess questions may look silly or nonsensical right now, but what I am aiming at is how "big" are the chances that something like this will re-occur ?<br /><br />I come from a dirt poor background, and know one thing for sure : Selling land is the final way out. What you have, you have.<br />Don't get me wrong please, one does not need to cling to something that is proven no-good, but if you sell something you should not loose (too much). I beg your pardon, I am a lousy "business man", I proudly went banquerott myself, ha !<br />I say all this simply because I hope that your decision to contact a realitor and sell, is good. Of course it is clear that investing in a doomed project is idiotic - <i>wenn der Gaul tot ist, dann ist er tot</i> (dead horse is dead horse, nothing else).<br /><br />I hope your salvaging effort will be successful. I have no idea what means you have at hand, but I think you have to go and look for yerself as soon as possible.<br />Good luck. Protect yourself please, and do not pee on cables.<br /><br />63magohttp://63mago.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6257946950022707026.post-77446378059383771142021-11-16T12:43:24.884-08:002021-11-16T12:43:24.884-08:00Jon: I meant pause the video at 1:41 and then loo...Jon: I meant pause the video at 1:41 and then look from the center of the screen where the big O and > sign are, and then you'll find it.Steve.

At 1:41 pause it and look a bit up and left and you'll see a long, tallish grey building with lots of oblong windows. Directly to the left of that building is what was our little house and property. It's just a small l-shape with a building just distinguishable and a pouffe of a tree to the left. It's surrounded by water.<br />https://www.facebook.com/wcfd14/videos/1078428006261595/<br /><br />Sumas is a lake with no way in or out. It SUCKS. Steve.

I think we'll be able to get temporary housing covered, but everything now stands at being able to get down off the mountain and into Sumas to take pictures and see what we can salvage. Here is drone footage of what my little town looks like today:<br />https://www.facebook.com/wcfd14/videos/470883206923950/Steve.

I don't know what to say?<br />I know you were talking about moving earlier in the year, so I suppose this flood has sealed the deal. I really hope that your insurance and everything else goes smoothly - and quickly - and that you find a nice new home not on a flood plain/cliff edge/fault line/volcano etc. etc.<br /><br />Very much love to you, and I'm happy to hear that at least the shelter is comfortable and welcoming.Inexplicable DeVicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04187364843729214996noreply@blogger.com
