Great room (carpet is soaked)
The kitchen (the tile floor is actually white)
Yours truly using the shop vac.
View from the sitting room towards the 1/2 bath and laundry roomWe survived: had about 7 and 1/2 inches of water in the first floor and 2 feet in the garage. We are shop vacuuming the ceramic tile floors and will have to tear out all of the carpet in the great room. We will have to see how the wood floor on the dining room fairs once it dries out. Waiting to see if washer and dryer work or not. Main refrigerator, HVAC and hot water heater are working, so we can shower and clean up. With the water receded out of the house, we have a thin layer of mud everywhere. The Hampton Roads area took a beating and downtown Hampton may not have power restored for a day or two. Some photos above show what fun we had last night (for a while we sucked water with a shop vac, but gave up when we could not keep up even with 3 sump pumps running. I will blog more once we have done more clean up.

I hope that beautiful china cabinet isn't ruined. What a mess! Good luck with the clean-up.
OH Michael! I saw the news this morning from Palm Springs, thought of you and the post I read before leaving Mexico. I was so hoping to come and see that all was well. Sadly, I see that, that isn't the case.
Hang in there Hugs Mimi
Been thinking about you lots. Whew! Sorry that ANY water came it... feels like an intrusion, a violation! Glad you have power, tho. Any more high tides to worry about today?
oh no...I'm so sorry.
Thankfully we're far enough back we didn't flood.
