Tomorrow it will be two weeks since Mother Nature dumped 17 cm on Gavle Sweden overnight. Not everywhere flooded, but Richard and Jennie got 1.5m of flood and waste water in their basement. Walking around the town today, the evidence of the devastation was still visible. The normally quiet river is still roaring in rapids, the erosion under the bridge has not been fixed, and new waterfalls into the river are still draining the grass by the Konserthus.
More personal damage was, of course, at Rich and Jenn's house. The basement has been cleared of all items. The dehumidifiers (3 of them), have been working non-stop for almost 2 weeks, and tomorrow the construction company comes to tear out all the interior walls in order to disinfect. The garage and workroom are also on tap to be completely redone inside, so there is a big storage container coming tomorrow and we will empty those two rooms in the next few days. Gardening and applesauce on hold!
