It’s all Hurricane Irene’s fault. And Hurricane Lee’s fault. During the torrential rains, my son reported dirty brown dripping water coming from the attic hatch located in his room.

We only just swept Hurricane Irene out of our homes and basements and roads. Tropical Storm Lee decided to take the highway straight up from the south. Look at that line. Crazy! In case [...]
