Hurricane Irene came in and we rode it out. The yards, patio & garage all flooded even filling up our floor vents to the brim. We were centimeters, and moments away from the house being engulfed by water when 1. The tide finally started going out 2. The rain finally let up 3. We used a hose pump hooked to a drill and started pumping what little water we could out the window. All things combined literally stopped the water at the brim of flooding in and it finally started to recede.
We also had power throughout the hurricane which was amazing. Many people we know are still without power and many of our neighbors houses did flood.
The term "by the skin of our teeth" definitely applies to us. Thanks to everyone who was sending good thoughts our way.
