Livin’ on lake WAVY
High Water
On our way
Well I always wanted a house on the lake…instead I work on one. We’re approaching high tide on our second full day of this Nor’easter and the flooding is back in force. Don is telling us right now that its not over. Will we ever get home? Not that I’m complaining (too much). Covering events like this is always and incredible adventure. This one, for me, started with an unusual ride to work. The firefighters from station one in Portsmouth helped two co-workers and me get to WAVY yesterday. No, we didn’t drive into a flood and get stuck (at least not right away). We asked to park at the fire station and walk to WAVY because we couldn’t get through. They graciously allowed us to park and offered to take us as far as they could in one of their trucks. Well we got about half a block and the truck stalled. Reinforcements came with a boat to get us to “shore” and we ended up walking the rest of the way.
So, “THANK YOU” to the firefighters at station one in Portsmouth. You guys and gals are awesome!
Hey Stephanie, you guys re sure welcome for the little bit of help we provided. Wish we could’ve done better for you. This trip into the water was just the 1st of many that day and night. Luckily we were later joined by the National Guard.(too late for ya’ll) But keep up the great work on covering the storm.
