Another day, another storm, another flood

[tara0115]

So for the third time since August, our basement has flooded. This is not unexpected with big storms, but I stupidly packed all that I could and put it in the basement since we have family in town this weekend for graduation. Now the bottom layer of boxes has been destroyed by the water. I can't even out my current feeling into words. My high school yearbooks, a box full of books, and who knows what else at this point. I have repacked all of my book boxes and will deal with the clothing boxes tomorrow morning. I am just angry at myself for not thinking about flooding and now have lost some things that just can't be replaced. I know it could be worse and at least my roommate saved my portfolio and bag full of over-sized art work. But still.

Thanks for the graduation present Champaign. I can't get out of here fast enough.
