Tropical storm Debby has made its way to our area and we have major flash flooding!!! I wanted to show you everything going on here at the house in the midst of the storm.
Hey there! My name is Abby and I recently bought a MAJOR fixer upper house. I am SO excited to work on fixing it up this old house and turning it into my dream home. I can't wait to take you on this journey with me! I am planning to DIY as much as I can and learn so much about home renovations along the way. I am starting out totally clueless so I am sure it will be a grand adventure! Follow along on my channel if you want to see DIY projects, renovating a house on a budget, and I am sure a lot of craziness along the way! I'm just a girl with a drill and a dream.

Now you know how high and rough the stream can get and plan your stuff better. The weather is getting more crazy.

@beckybevins6690 Месяц назад

I was going to saw the same thing!!😃

@RPEACHES54 Месяц назад

The upside is that you witnessed this and can prepare for the future. Good luck Abby!

@Ruth-uj1dm Месяц назад

This storm believe it or not is a blessing. Having said that. You now know regardless what time of year you'll have to be well prepared. Food, generator, plantings near the back stream, and so on. Be safe.

@lynnestamey7272 Месяц назад

Yikes!!! Is right! At least you found out now and can plan your back yard. Wow! Glad you're safe for now.

@angelaglidewell Месяц назад

Arizona motto: Turn around don't drown. 😂 Glad you only have a small flood in your basement.

Colorado, too!

@carolynstrecha2371 Месяц назад

Yes please heed that saying! With our crazy climate now be aware.

@AuntGrace Месяц назад

Was disappointed in Dad being macho and driving through it. Then having his daughter drive through it 😢 I guess he doesn’t agree with us. 😣

@Ruth-uj1dm Месяц назад

I know you're giving just your opinion and it's valid. But he is a dad and he was not going to leave her stranded. Is it something I would have done? NO. Some people walk unto burning buildings and the homeowners are not even family. So maybe it would be in your best interest to keep this advice to yourself. It is his daughter afterall.

@pamelawinkelmann6229 Месяц назад

Since you do have electricity at the house, you might want to have a small fridge at the house stocked with some basics, like drinks and snacks. You never know when you will find yourself stuck there again. Also, the sooner you can get one of the bathrooms up and running , the better off you will be for similar situations.

@sharonwhiteman6874 Месяц назад

At least it happened before you built everything there! Now you know the areas to leave alone. Love your positive attitude

@sharondilloncavalierland954 Месяц назад

In the 35 years we've been in our house we had I major event of flooding in the basement. We put on a dedicated sump hole and pump because you never know when the weather will get wild. Every winter I turn on the pump power. At least a dozen times the groundwater has come up to fill the hole over the years and the pump kept the basement from flooding. And we live on a hill! So when you get a chance put in a dedicated sump hole and pump because you never know when it will save your basement.

@peggynorton5145 Месяц назад

Yes and make it a few inches below the level of floor. Once we dug our hole down, it hasn't flooded over the floor since. Gutters also help with the water away from the house. Just make sure your downspouts are far enough to have the water away from the house also.

@dianewilliams9729 Месяц назад

See this type of weather in Texas and authorities warn us about driving thru flooded roads like that. So many ignore the warning and their cars are swept downstream and they have to be rescued. We then have to be more aware of washed out road areas. Such fun! At least this gives you an idea of how your little house will weather the storms. Do love the sound of the water moving thru your back creek area! Such a good experience for you to deal with the sump pump now since others are around to help you. You can deal with it confidently if it ever happens again.

@susanlamendeau2344 Месяц назад

So glad everyone is OK and no really bad damage to your home.

@deniseroberts460 Месяц назад

Oh my goodness! So happy your property and home didn’t sustain any real damage… the beauty of a working pump and having your electrics and water heater up off the floor!!

Now is the time to go looking for cool rocks! After a flood here, I go arrow head hunting.

@judylivingston6413 Месяц назад

I am in South Georgia. Debby did a number in this area. Lots of flooding all around my area. Many Rds completely washed away. Homes flooded. We have several major rivers within a 100 mile radius and all of them are well above flood level. Many pond dams have failed. Hope you all stay safe.

@florencecampbell774 Месяц назад

The power of water is so dangerous,stay safe Abby.We love you.🥰🙏

@joycelynliebel3645 Месяц назад

Thanks for sharing the deluge! Do keep in mind that the edges of the overflow behind your house are not a surety of safety - it could rise higher another time. Its not highly likely, but could. So glad you now know - that sauna position you had in mind certainly wouldn't have survived!

@magdaperez8940 Месяц назад

Take this a WARNING!!!!the brick wall that you have there,it might have been for the high water you just got,now you know that you have to change your plans for the front n back yard,good luck n your home is looking beautiful

@user-yz5rr7td4x Месяц назад

Glad you and your family are safe after all this flooding

@kathyscott5958 Месяц назад

Abbie, you were blessed. You had tons of water surrounding you front and back, the public system is working well, for as you showed us, how rapid the water was around you, so you have a lose end in basement that needs your attention, your comments ahead of mine, is giving you very good tips. (Concerning your basement) You’re almost there, good job.

@karenchaney7709 Месяц назад

Our motto where I live in central West Virginia is Turn around don't drown. We have flash flooding quite often and many times there is loss of life and millions of dollars in damage. Be thankful that your property and your family are safe and that you now know what to be prepared for should it happen again.

@deborahhope9094 Месяц назад

Abby thanks for showing this video! I think if I was you I’d pile your spare rocks, especially the large ones, along the river bank. Shoring up your bank might help for the future.

@thirzapeevey2395 Месяц назад

The folks who grew up in your house were just telling your dad about this a couple of weeks ago. You don't even want to be standing near that when the water is running that fast. It can undermine the road quite suddenly.

@AuntGrace Месяц назад

Yes and in-between the time Dad drove over it and she did! It could have gave way😮 Why did he do that. They could have had a rare nice night together and looked at it in the morning.

@lauriepowers3397 Месяц назад

Glad you made it to your parents house

@iamwhoiamd7056 Месяц назад

@leem200 Месяц назад

Wow! They are quick to fix he roads to make them safe, amazing. Water can do some damage for sure. Been in a Flood twice, scary stuff.

@jemreandeau3583 Месяц назад

Thank you for sharing the storm aftermath, it was quite exciting. I’m grateful we never lost our power.❤

@nanagram13 Месяц назад

So glad your house was not overly affected!

@julieg6383 Месяц назад

Good to know that water won't get anywhere near your actual house, even in a big flood!

@johnking8679 27 дней назад

You certainly had your fair share of rain and flooding, Abby. Can't wait to see you and Jay install the new floor !! Gotta get that basement cleaned out, too !! OUCH !!

@ardenehanson2840 Месяц назад

Thank you for such a dramatic video Good job!

@hacc220able Месяц назад

Now you know the extent of the flood plain. Debby passed just a few miles from us in SC and still you received more water from her than we did. Thanks for sharing

@rosiamorrison6531 Месяц назад

Glad you all are safe Abby , Hope Trudy is home too . Yes please be safe . 😯🕊

@devonnep.7126 Месяц назад

wow!! That creek was turned into a river in your backyard. I'm glad it isn't any closer to your house . Glad you and Jay were able to get the water coming out of the basement so it can dry asap. I hope the road gets repaired before it breaks with a car on it. Isn't it amazing how quick it comes and goes away!

@missymayjones Месяц назад

Oh wow , I’m so happy that there was no damage to your beautiful property, but wow the power of water is incredible, hope all the roads get fixed asap ,

@sandychilese2893 Месяц назад

In AZ we deal with flash flooding fairly frequently. If there's a big storm, it's hard for the water to soak in because of the clay soil. If fact, initially the clay will close up before it begins to soak up water. So flooding if pretty common. There's a law in AZ that if people drive through flooded roads that are marked as such and they get stuck; they get the bill from the state/county/city for getting them out of the mess. It was called the stupid drivers law, I think. Water comes quickly, does incredible damage and then disappears. It's a humbling reminder that we definitely are not in control.

@elvinharder4043 Месяц назад

Wow, that's a pile of water in one storm. Definitely shows the power it creates when there's enough of it. Luckily something like that is rare in your part of the country. Take care.

@cherylwoodruff7617 Месяц назад

The good thing is it will help for you to see the areas you do and DO NOT want to place landscaping etc. Good luck!

@shadegarden7375 Месяц назад

Well, this is a good reason to get your yard graded now! Especially the side yard with major drainage flow fixes!!

@julieholcombe7422 Месяц назад

We live in Southeast Texas and in the country too. Our road is one way in and one way out and has flooded over a lot. We can't get in or out until it recedes. Ours is usually accompanied by power outages so our little community will go down to "the high water" as it's called around here, set up BBQ pits and people will bring foods and meats down to cook instead of losing it all. It's fun for us as long as no one's house is flooded or hurt.

@charlenelindsay2019 Месяц назад

Dear Abby, So thankful no damage to your property. I agree with your earlier thought about the placement of your hot tub. Be sure to print off some photos of the full creek for your future consideration. If this has happened once, if could happen again. One of God's lessons for us to pay attention too. Hugs💞

@debbarrett9865 Месяц назад

Wow Abby that was wild thanks for bringing us along with you and your Mom.Take care

It's good you got your pizza. It looks so delicious. Meant to film or not, thank you for doing it anyway. So interesting. There was a good reason why the breaker tripped. Water-electricity are not compatible. That's a lot of water in your basement. Did Trudi make it home?

@ondenacaraway1309 29 дней назад

I was born and still live in Florida. We're used to these storms. We always have our buckets to collect water for the toilets in case the electricity goes out. Always have some canned foods and a generator to run the fridge. These things and more we do just before these storms start. Welcome to my world. My eldest son lives in Sarasota they got 17 inches of rain from Hurricane Debby. So look out there are more coming!

@ondenacaraway1309 29 дней назад

Hey set up a lemonade stand you might make some extra spending cash, LOL! We also had a 35 foot across, 15 ft deep sink hole from Debby, about 17 miles from my home here in northern Florida.

@FloridaJack Месяц назад

You may want to place a monument at the high-water point.

@juliahelland6488 29 дней назад

Several years ago, we got 17" of rain over a few hours. Many creeks over flowed and a small dam washed out amd flooded a business. It looked very similar to your video. Never underestimate the power of rushing water! Also, we live in a rural area and it's important to grade the landscape away from your house as much as possible. Rain gutters and the right size sump pump wot a dedicated cord. You never know when you'll need it! 😊 We put in new culverts and deepened the ditches so they could handle more water.

@caroledwards3465 Месяц назад

Our weather, here in England UK has been changing over the last 10 ish years. We have just had the wettest June ever recorded. Globe Warming is certainty effecting the weather world wide. At least you will now know what to expect in the future and take precautions to keep safe Abby. 💙

@Torsee 29 дней назад

Have a small four tonged metal rake handy. Keep your road culverts clear. Send the water on its way. Be proactive.

@melissareid640 Месяц назад

Abby stay safe God Bless Now you know how best to prepare your home and property. Glad your folks are near. Praying for you and your community. God Bless.

I bet your creek swelled up very high. We live on the coast of North Carolina and I have 3 ponds on the property which were bursting at the seams. Last night's lighting and thunder the most Ive witnessed in 5 years.So enjoy watching your progress. Oh and good job at the horse pull from singing National Anthem to announcing duties. Baron & Bill won trophy 🏆

@patriciabrooks6256 Месяц назад

We have this kind of excitement every hurricane season so I know what is going on for you. Thank you for sharing. I live I St Tammany Parish, north of Lake Pontchartrain and New Orleans, so all the bayous, creeks and rivers are always a threat like you had. Stay safe and always respect the water!

Wow, that flooding is intense!!! Careful walking to your parents' house...., or anywhere. Things change fast and you could get into trouble even at that place you just visited if the erosion causing the waterfall spreads further towards where you were standing. Please keep us posted!!! Caring about you...be safe!

@janicehalsey5511 Месяц назад

Thanks for sharing Abbie! I live in an area of Southwest Virginia in the Appalachians where we don’t have bad weather but there have been devastating floods in surrounding counties. I’ve been so blessed to never experience it.

@guitarcomet5 Месяц назад

As bad as it seems, you’re lucky! Here in Eastern North Carolina, tropical storms, hurricanes and nor’easters are regular occurrences. Debby dumped a bunch of rain on us. For 3 days Wednesday Thursday and Friday, then more storms Saturday and Sunday. It’s storming right now and it’s a long train of rain tracking over our area, so we’re probably gonna be getting another 2-3 inches today. Flooding is a constant threat during this season. Count your lucky stars! ⭐️🌟🌠

I was originally from NYS but now live in Southeastern KY and Debby just skirted around us and went up the east coast. Most of my family still live in NYS and the Oneonta area got hit bad as well. Glad you are safe and even though they are filling in the road near you still be careful. It's amazing how roads can just disappear because of rain. Water is definitely powerful.

Living on the the Gulf Coast, Mississippi,(aka hurricane area) flooding can be a pain. Yes, you are lucky to know what could possibly happen in the future. Flooding to a trickle, is just the response on too much rain too fast.
