If i were in your shoes having to use a walker i think i would have a miracle moment. I can see me throwing the walker off to the side and running down the stairs as the tornado approached, then wonder once down there " hey how did i do that?", of course once the pain became a reality it would all become clear....
Speaking of clear, we are clear blue skies with a nice breeze. I feel like i havnt seen the sun in ten days, glad to know it still exists.

Yup, just another sensationalized storm, but the rain just wont stop. New to this home over the last three years i have had to do something i never had to do here or the 25 years on the island. I had to get a portable sump pump as i was developing a mote along the back of the house. Concerned, ive had that little pump running now the last two days. I timed the output into a gallon jug. 9 1/2 seconds. Ive run it about four hours now off and on, so do the math, its a lot.

Yeah, that's not good when that kind of water is up against the house. I went through that this spring with tropical rains. Ended up having to make some pretty significant changes that took a bunch of time and $,$$$.

Just finished pumping another 1500 gallons away from my house. Sure will be glad when this one is over, i hope Jaybm is doing ok in SC.

We're okay, one death locally, nine statewide so far.
There was a strange sight in the sky this morning ... sunshine !
The yard was a lake for awhile but no power outage or fallen trees.
Worse flooding in 1000 years they say and damage is unbelievable.
Car dealer in the city had a bunch of vehicles washed off their
lot. Some stuck under the bridge, others tipped over in the river.

Now the cleanup begins ... Jim

That is exactly what I would do!

Well, no pun intended, necessity is the mother of invention. Id wish a french drain would do but the water table is too high, so what id like to do, and id like to do a lot of things, is to run a hard drain from that low spot along the house, attached to the pump i was using, pushing the liquid into a creek about 125ft from the pump location, a Ditch Witch would be nice. Oh wait, i need to save up for a scope, rings etc...and that was a 1000 year storm, they said it, it has to be true, i think i know where the $$$$ is going.
