I was flooded 14 Years, 5 Months ago

Ok, last night as some people who were in chat know, I was in the middle of a very bad rainstorm. The gutters were overflowing and you couldn;t see the curb. The sewers backed up and everyone, and i mean everyone's basement on my entire block flooded. My bedroom was in the basement as well. At its deepest the water was to the middle of my calf in my bedroom.
The reason I wanted to put this out here was because first and foremost, we have a lot of cleaning up to do and i'm probably not gonna be my normal self for a while.
and second and most important: I really want to thank those in chat who helped me deal with the shock of it all. Especially elisa128 who was there from the beginning of the ordeal to the very end.
There is nothing else i can say, i was freaking out and couldn't deal well with it.

Sorry to hear that; good luck with the clean up. Flooded houses are SO NOT FUN. Ripping out wet nasty carpet and all the rest. If you can afford it, ceramic tile is a great replacement (speaking from dealing with 3 hurricane related water in house episodes).

There is soo much damage. I don't even know where to begin and i am just talking about my bedroom. That's not including the rest of the basement and all the damage there. All the stuff from our kitchen while it is being remodeled was down there and most of it is not useless.

That's terrible! Stupid rainstorm...
Did you have flood insurance? If you can get that, anyway... the insurance people can be rather unpredictable with that. *Sighs* Well, I wish you the best of luck with the clean up, and all your neighbours, too. If I could be there to help you out, I would. =(
