And unrelated to any of these meetings, but in another email I got from town hall today... I bought a sump pump for $135 to dry out my basement that literally had water two inches deep by this morning. Then I read this from Town Hall... "from 4:00 a.m. until 11:00 a.m. there have been 50 calls into the Fire Department due to water in basements. They have had 15 crews out servicing those calls." Do any of you ever call the FD to drain your basements?

The northend was hard hit. The Ducks were the only ones to profit. New ponds were quickly claimed. Many roads were closed. I could only imagine all the people who are alone or unable to help themselves. Thanks to all. It's nice to have a town respond...

I'm not sure of the status of the dam. I'll try to give an update after next week's meeting.
