JG, when Floyd hit, we had some bags of dirt in the garage. We ended up using them to divert the water away from our garage door (and yes, TIS, we were in our bathing suits haha). We were lucky, because many of our neighbors got water in their houses that way. Don't underestimate the power of water.

I saw Mayor Bloomberg's press conference this morning, and he said that we might get 6-12 inches of rain, and we're already waterlogged. Better to prepare for the worst and hope for the best.
