    That sucks, Ivan! I hope the basement is OK. I could probably make a generator happen yet tonight if you need it. Now, figuring out the route you took to get to your house might be an issue ...

    Man, you have a long night ahead, it sounds like, but glad it's manageable. Yes, that would be my normal route. My sump pump has calmed down quite a bit the past couple hours, so hopefully that's a good sign for you. Hope you don't lose anything in the freezer, either!

    Hope all is well with you Ivan! I keep getting texts from ComEd saying "we will restore your power shortly," yet we have not lost power....

    We had nasty weather here with large golf ball sized hail July 27 in Plainfield, IL. Minor siding damage, roof OK. Trees down in neighborhood. I snuck on the roof and inspected it before the wife could scream at me not to. She says "73-year-old men shouldn't go on roofs!" I respond with "73-year-old men shouldn't fall off roofs!" :D My back window on the Kia was shattered. The tint film along with safety glass sandwich film helped keep rear glass in one piece. A few dents in body.

    I've done windshields at work and had tools to cut the polyurethane. Saved me some money at Safelite. I removed glass as it would have fallen in if I hit a bump. It was broken away at both sides and rainwater ran in. I had to remover rear seat, rear deck and side trim and all trunk trim as it and the insulation got wet. Water under hybrid battery where a space saver tire would normally be. Harman Kardon sound system survived.

    Aug 11, three doors down, neighbors tree knocked down, we just lost some small branches.

    While not weather related, August 4th at 1AM the ambulance took wife to hospital. The section where they removed part of her intestine flipped and caused a blockage. Got her out a few days later.

    My BlackVue rear view camera survived.

    I laid a tarp inside to first remove the big chunk, then reinserted it to cut the remaining bits stuck to the polyurethane. There were glass bits on the dash and front seats.

    All dried out and reassembled. Glass was backordered, had to wait a week.

    At least the lawn looks good for August...we don't water it in drought like we had in July.

    Not good, not good at all.

    The rain was just relentless overnight and this morning, from about 1:00 until 10:00. And, it looks like we may get another round tonight before we finally get some dry days next week.

    Sad and frustrating to see you go through this again. In 2021 didn't the mayor say it will take until 2030 to replace the combined storm water and sewer lines in older neighborhoods?

    Had one of these installed when they built our home. Not required, but we're next to a main line....
