This is making me anxious. Do I wait, or start working now? Maybe if I dig a foot or so deep trench around my house I can direct the water from the back yard away from my basement and toward the street. That's a lot of digging though.

Or maybe I should just start moving the shit in the basement up to the upstairs floors and let the thing fill up with water. There's a ton of stuff down there though.

10 inches is so much! I mocked Houston for building houses inside a reservoir only to be flooded by Harvey. This is payback. I'm not inside a reservoir though, I just have a very gently sloping backyard that slopes to my house, and an old cinderblock wall foundation that isn't completely water tight.

Maybe this will turn to the open ocean, right? There's time before Thursday.
Don't have any advice for you but keeping my fingers crossed that Florence decides to take off for the open ocean instead of drowning you and the rest of the East Coast.
