My Weather, Water and Energy

The weather here has been terrible. Yesterday we received 4 inches of rain in just 45 minutes. Somehow, that produced a 16-inch buildup of water against my back door (I have a garden unit). And the door couldn't take it, spilling that water right into my place. Every single room. Every single corner. Luckily I didn't loose too much - that I can see. The hard wood floors, they tell me, might be in pretty bad shape. And since the insurance doesn't cover flood, I'd call that signaficant damage (to both the floor and my bank account). Ugh...
