Everything is fine in Brevard County after Tropical Storm Fay!

I must have received 50 calls from our customers who are looking to mover to Brevard County. They are all fearing the worst that might have happened to us sitting here in the eye of the storm. I just wanted to let everyone know that we are fine and in most areas the water has gone down tremendously. I was away when I got my first call from my wife. She was frantic because we were getting water coming into our bathroom. I thought the worst, but it really wasn't to bad. What really happened is we had some plumbing issues fixed a couple of years ago and the people that did it, didn't do a great job sealing the block. So the water just kept coming in. Of course listening to my wife panic while I was in Denver was pretty scary.

It was a relief to know that it was really ok when I got home. I just had to take the baseboards off, dry it out, and once dry I will put the boards back on. I probably have about an inch of sheetrock to cut off. Not bad.Yes, we were lucky. There were a few homes around the county that didn't fair so well. This was the most rain, up to 30 inches, that this area has ever seen.

So I started wondering how people would react to this storm. Luckily, it really hasn't made any difference. We are still busy showing homes this weekend and life goes on. Let's face it, no matter where you live you have something to deal with from Mother Nature. We deal with hurricanes and tropical storms. The north deals with blizzards. California deals with earthquakes. The midwest deals with tornados. In the end, if the good Mother wants to get you, she will!Anyway, I just wanted to give you a quick update of our situation here.

For some it has been really tough but for most of us it's what we deal with to live in paradise! I wouldn't change a thing!
