I think I've got everything up off the basement floor or in plastic tubs so that the incoming water won't hurt it. We don't have it bad. Just damp carpet and some small puddles in the basement. Thankfully the sump pump is working diligently. I keep emptying dehumidifiers too. I can't imagine what it's like for others in our area, seeing as how we sit on one of the highest points of the whole township. And then there are people in other townships who live by rivers!
The whole world smells wet and mildewy. It didn't last week. Last week it just smelled wet and muddy. In places that have rainy seasons, how do/did people fight mildew without clothes-dryers and dehumidifiers? Everything is wet. The walls here are wet. Our chairs are wet. We open the kids' schoolbooks and the pages are wet. I'm doing laundry frequently, because the sweaty clothes and rain-dampened clothes can't be air-dried to await laundry day 3-4 days hence.
And Maggie wants to go to the beach.
