We were fine, sticking it out til like 8 last night before we decided the water was getting too high and we grabbed some shit and were about to head to the cars (which we previously moved to higher ground) but the evac truck came by and my mom yelled over to them so we ended up wading through about 2.5 feet of water in the street, climbed up onto the truck, and went and chilled at the police hq for a few hours.
By midnight the water had receded enough and one of our neighbors gave us a ride home. Found out our basement was totally full (just about to the ceiling). Hooked up the pump and generator and started pumping water out. Went to bed. Glad i got to sleep in my own bed instead of the police hq filled with wet people and animals and smells and icky people vibes.
We're still pumping water out. Not even halfway down. School is closed for idk how long. And idk how long itll be til i can get there anyway. I hear our powers gonna be out for like 10 days.

Not sure about the other stuff though. We had camping gear and a fridge some tools and materials and such down there too but we'll assess that when we're up and running again.
I havent been out there yet but my parents went and took pictures. My town looks like a fuckin warzone. There are houses in the middle of marshes and piers destroyed and trees down and all. Im in a beach town so we got the blunt end of things.
