Water in the basement? I'm Grateful.

Today there was a terrible downpour with a scary dark sky and lightning. All the time we were driving through the rain, I wondered if our basement was getting wet again. But then I realized I have a home and it is for the most part dry. The poor people living by the lake have been dealing with waves splashing against their homes (I saw this in Alburgh) and mold growing on sheetrock. This has been going on for months. So if I have a wet basement, I'll cope. The important items are up high. I'm grateful that it's just a wet basement.
