You may know that recently Hurricane Irene hit Delaware. It caused flooding, power outages, and property damages. My house was one of the buildings that happened to get flooded. It was pretty awful.
When it happened I was actually in the basement. There was a tornado warning, so my whole family decided to come and join me in the basement. That's when my older brother discovered that the back room was flooded.
A few years ago my dad found holes in the wall and filled them with some kind of instant cement. Unfortunately, the cement dissolved, or crumbled, and water was coming in our basement through hole in the walls. My dad started to get stressed out, and you could almost see the smoke coming from his ears.
Eventually, the flooding did stop, and we had to air out our basement for a while. The basement had a slightly moldy smell for a little while, but eventually it disappeared. The holes got filled in too.
