Okay, I hate this tropical storm! Brian went back to work today and it rained ALL day. The rain was horizontal and diagonal and constant! It pretty much was a steady rain here for about 24 hours.
I went into the nursery about noon time to change Danny's diaper... no problems. Brian called me about 3:30 to let me know he was on his way home... happy days! I went into the nursery right after that to change another diaper and.... squish squish squish! Thank goodness Brian was on his way home!
There was water leaking into the nursery from wall to wall along the outside of the house and there was a little bit of a leak in the corner of the closet in the office. So we had to move almost all of the baby's stuff out of the nursery, pull up the carpet and pad, and start combatting Mother Nature. We were using the shop vac to suck up the water and using towels to suck up any new water. Thankfully, we had enough towels and a shop vac!
We're not sure if there's a leak in the roof, in the wall or at the floor level. We've started a claim with our insurance company (thankfully, not State Farm!) and we'll see what happens. I'm really upset that it's the baby's room that was damaged because he was just starting to get used to sleeping in his crib! I'm also worried that mold could grow in the room and that's really dangerous for a little one! But hopefully, everything will work out okay.
