OT - need positive vibes

We had major major rainfall and flooding today - the culvert at the end of our driveway completely clogged up with debris coming down the hill as it was flowing so fast -- then water ran down the driveway

--we now have 2 feet of water in our basement which is a complete disaster area; we lost a freezer full of food, all the holiday decorations, pictures, etc. Many of my vintage sewing machines are probably toast. The fire department came out and lent us a industrial strength pump, so it's slowly going down....we're in for a major cleanup for the next few days not to mention probably pulling out the wallboard, etc. to avoid mold.

Combined with the transmission going out on my car last week, hand surgery tomorrow (to 'fix' a painful trigger finger) and I could sure use any postiive vibes you can spare.

Oh my goodness, Irene, what a tragedy! Even if you had a million dollars worth of insurance, and even if some of your machines survive, I'm sure there's just no way to replace your treasured SMs that you've collected. Awful. Simply AWFUL. I don't know how to vibe but I'll hold you close in my prayers. So very sorry. Polly

Irene, I am so sorry to hear about the flooding, we are close to Rochester and we got a lot of really wet slushy snow combined with rain but haven't heard anything about flooding. Our internet was out, then the power, and of course the phone goes with the internet.

You'll be in my thoughts and I will keep on sending good thoughts your way. AND I just happen to know where there is another basement with a few machines, nothing like yours but a couple down there that you are welcome to have.

Oh Irene, you have all my prayers and good thoughts and wishes that the clean up won't be as bad s expected. And I'll add a prayer for your vintage machines. A flood is as bad as a fire, maybe worse.

Hugs and as much energy as I can send, Sunny
