Well, you can see how far up the water came! The races went on as usual; right in front of the house.
Dad has an ever evolving crock anchoring system and the water is still clearing after the storm. The power was restored a week later to the day if not quite the hour that it went off when a tree limb took down the power lines from the street to the house. Otherwise, we were really lucky considering the potential for damage. The white chair was the power line support for the extension cord from the Bourget's to our house. Mom and Dad had a light, the TV, and the telephone plugged into the extension cord. Tea water and other cooking was done on the grill. Thank God, the newly revised Black Point Market was open and serving delicious breakfasts and lunches. The Coburn household is presently gearing up for the new school year which officially opens tomorrow - Reid's birthday! Happy Birthday! Happy New Year!
