tell me first about where you were and what that night of october 29th was like. because you stayed put. we stayed. we watched the water come down the street. we had the wall, we had a sand barrier. water came over that like it was nothing and washed it away. started to coming down the block. we had a sea wall that ran along here. as the night went on, sea wall, the water was right over the sea wall. got back there. we were in looking out at the water. once we lost power, we lost lighting. we couldn t see much. all we can hear is the water. went to the front of the house, had a pump working in the garage in case any water came water was seeping through but gradual. we were able to pump that out. the water continued to rise and the front of the house, i had three feet of water. during the storm, it raised to five feet of water, running past the hour. concrete broke through the garage door.
