How
many of you have flooded? How many of you have watched the
water rise to your door sill, stuffing anything that you could
find into cracks and crevices to try to hold back the rising
water? How many of you have recoiled in horror as the
floodwater seeps under the sill, wetting the carpet despite
your frantic efforts, and then rising relentlessly higher,
covering the floor and moving up the walls? First you put the
smaller items on the taller furniture, then you move whatever
you can upstairs, if you are lucky enough to live in a
two-story house. How many of you have been rescued through
your attic vent by the fire department flood rescue squad? And
how many of you have come back to silt,
mud and mildew all over your dreams and hopes and
aspirations? |
