My house is in Grand Forks but I'm working in the Cinicinatti area right now. My son and his gf check on the house when they're in town for a hockey game but who knows what is going to happen. I'll be home for a few days before heading to the F5 and will try to take some precautions but if it hits there's very little I can do. I didn't refinish the basement after 1997. I only had the house for 10 months and didn't want to borrow any more money. So I have enough insurance to fix the electrical stuff and replace the furnace, central air, w/d, etc. The clean up, if needed, will be the issue. I know we're suppose to be safe but I trust more in the powers of Mother Nature than man.
Cinicinatti is getting a record amount of snow this year as is everywhere else! It freezes than thaws. The ground gets really wet and mushy. When I took my dog for a walk a couple of weeks ago, I had to stay on the street. My boots were almost sucked off by the mush! I felt like I was in a swamp. It's been frozen for about a week now but warm weather yesterday and today will create some thaw and more mushy ground. I heard there's another storm coming....
