Damp

When I came down the hall at work this morning, I knew that once again, our office had taken on water during the rain. Luckily someone from the children's department was here on Saturday, and they picked up all the bins and boxes that were sitting on the floor,so we had very little damage. Goddess Bless people for going the extra mile!
The last time it flooded bladly down here, we lost several $1000 worth of books. This time, we just have to deal with the smell. It stinks down here folks. And I can feel the mold invading my sinuses - yucky.
Some of the other branches didn't fare so well. Apparently 2 of our West End branches flooded pretty badly, and a couple of our East End branches did too. One is still not completly operational. And K has a lots of comp. problems to deal with today, since several computers were also damaged during the flooding. Joy.
But, it could have been worse. Remember those picutres from the 1937 flood? There is one where the statue of Abe Lincoln is half under water. My office is directly behind that statue. Small favors right?
Hopefully the rest of us made out okay too. Peace and dry basements to all. -S
