I've heard that disasters bring people closer together, but you've just discovered that you're neighbours? Cool.

Small world!
Earliest is this Wednesday. Apparently no water penetration... Not even in P4. I walked up to the condo yesterday and there may be just enough of an elevation to spare our building.
We should do coffee neighbor - I'm in tower 2.

Wow, I gotta say I'm very surprised. I was certain I lost everything in storage, especially since I was in P4. Do you know if there was any power loss? I tried calling but got no answer.
You're certainly welcomed to join us Joe! Bring your rain boots

No power or gas as per concierge (I was surprised someone answered at concierge). Who knows if it'll stay dry.... fingers crossed it will if in fact it is.

This was taken yesterday, but just 18 hrs prior, you couldn't see the sidewalk. I assume, it has gotten better today.

Yep - just got back from there. Received the email that we can re-occupy this evening and left almost immediately to beat the rush. Lots of wasted food, but seriously things could've been worse. I feel for the many houses that have to undergo major clean-ups.
P4 has some seepage, but otherwise not as bad as I was expecting btw.

Yeah I just home an hour ago and the only thing I lost was food. We're soooooo lucky.
I'm off to help a friend with his clean up tomorrow. He lives over in Erlton and spent the day ripping out drywall and carpet
