This is a horrific event in your life. I can't imagine your grief over this. Hopefully, with time, you'll be able to start to sort things out. Start by trying to connect with your neighbors and friends and try to support each other. You are not alone and I'm sure others will be willing to help you through this.

Lucy do contact your insurance company. Maybe you have a suit with the utility company to cover sewer back up. a couple of years ago my daughter's basement flooded. 10 or 12 homes in her subdivision also flooded. It was a nightmare and I certainly have sympathy for your situation. Kay

lucy, sorry to hear about his news. It is hard I guess to see all the things you worked so hard for, to see them dissapearing, being lost, probably in just a few minutes. And yes, then you have the insurrance.. don't kno how it works over there in your country, but here their sentence always starts with :..and how old is your machine...and do you still have a bill of that ?...and then at the end....don't have to tell you I guess, you neverr get back what you have paid for. Flood is covered, but..pray God that it is only materials an that you and your husband (and ofcourse Cat :-) are all ok)
Sending all my prayers to you and everybody in your neighborhood.

Lucy, prayers going up for you in your time of need that everything will be made whole. If your homeowners insurance is anything like it is here in the U.S. flood isn't covered. We can purchase separate flood insurance through the government. If that is available in Canada, hopefully you purchased it. If not, do what everyone has said and sign up for all of the help you can get through your government.
I'm so thankful that both you and your DH are safe. Hugs going out to you.

Ohhhh you poor baby. I feel for you. You are not alone and we cuties are here to give hugz when you need em. We'll keep our fingers crossed for your insurance to come thru. When the heartache eases you'll have a little fun replacing your fabrics. Know what might be fun - If every cutie sent you a piece of fabric. Minimum of a fat quarter. More if desired.

I am so sorry that this has happened. Sending you hugs and prayers for calm and peace.

I am so sorry for all that you have lost. My prayers and thoughts go out to you.

OD DEAR, SO SORRY FOR YOU. PRAYERS AND HUGS FOR YOU, TRY TO BE SAFE.

Hi Lucy,
I am so sorry for your huge loss. My family went through the flood of the century in North Dakota and they all had basements that where flooded and a couple had their first floor flooded too. They had
sewer failure in city pumps,etc.
My Grandmother had her house condemmed and the rest had to gut out everything to the curb including drywall. It is highly toxic, you cannot save anything down there and it is a health risk so be careful. It might be wise to seek immediate help for being declared a state of emergency should open
up funds of assistance from your state. Get on the lists, check with insurance etc. In the meantime,
if possible relocate to friends and relatives for health reasons till waters subside and cleanup is done to avoid illness. My heart goes out to you and your family, on the brite side it will get better,
material things can be replaced and you are okay.
Hugs just don't seem to cover but its all I have besides prayers for you for strength and endurance
in this disaster mother nature has tossed your way.
Hang in there-The Sun will come up, the waters will recede, the cleanup will begin and a new day offers
new beginnings.

extremely well said Linda!

I'm so sorry for you and the other people of Thunder Bay. Somebody is already pumping out from their basements and I hope that you will receive assistance soon.
Prayers and hugs for you. Lidia

OH LUCY, MY DEAR, I'M SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS, IT'S VERY SAD! PLEASE BE SAFE, YOU ARE IN MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS. LOVE AND HUGS, YORIKO.

Lucy, I am so sorry to hear of your disaster!! I trust God will give you and your DH courage and perseverence to get through this heartbreaking time. I hope you are covered and that your losses will be recompensated. Love, wishes for you to stay strong and our prayers are with all of you in that situation.****

It's never easy, we all love our babies and have spent a lot of time and energy getting everything we want for our hobby and to see it gone so quick is heartbreaking. Please look on the other side - at least you and hubby are safe! That's the main thing.
We are all with you.

LUCY I AM SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS. MY HEART IS FEELING SO SAD. IT IS ONLY THINGS BUT I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL.IF YOUR INSURANCE DOESN'T COVER THERE IS USUALLY GOVERMENT ASSISTANCE TO GET YOUR HOME RESTORED. YOU AND YOUR HUBBY ARE SAFE AND THAT IS WHAT MATTERS. I AM SENDING PRAYERS FOR A QUICK RECOVERY TO THESE PROBLEMS IN YOUR TOWN AND A FAST CLEAN UP FOR EVERYONE. GOD BE WITH YOU ALL.
DONNA

Oh my heck! I live in Fla and don't have a basement, so sorry for your lost, wish I could help clean it up for you Diamond

Gosh Lucy I'm so sorry to hear of your huge losses. We got a lot of rain today too but we don't have a basement. We had huge storms which dumped a lot of water in a short amount of time.. I hope you find some of your things usable and pray your insurance covered it. Hang in there.
Meri

Lucy, I'm so sorry you are facing another trial. It's hard to do sometime, but keep looking up. Will keep you in prayer. Hugs, Terre

Lucy, is there anything I can do to help you with things that have been lost? I know I can send something to you from Australia. Keep your faith and I pray that most of what is lost will be covered by your household insurance. Love and blessings Chris

LUCY, I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO SAY TO HELP YOU & WALTER, BUT I KNOW GOD HAS A PLAN FOR YOUNS AND HE WILL BE THERE FOR YOU. I WILL BE PRAYING FOR THE BOTH OF YOU. IN GOD'S LOVE, JUDY

I was looking to see where Thunder Bay is, and the first site that popped up was a news article from yesterday. What a nightmare. We have problems like this very often where I live. In fact, so much so that folks are having their houses raised a full story to avoid losing everything to flooding. I hope your homeowner's insurance will cover this. Every policy is different. Take pictures, so that you can prove what you had before it is damaged beyond recognition!!
