Carol Halsey Writes:
Well I finally made it. I bought my first home and closed on June 27, 1996. 12 hours after I closed, a semi-truck went down the street. This is not a truck route. The semi clipped my phone lines and ripped them out of my house. Also taking the siding with it.
Moving day is June 30th and the truck doesn't show up. 10 days later my Dad passed away. (God rest his soul.)
On the 17th of July we received that terrible rain fall in Illinois. I ended up with 4 feet of water in the basement and no sump pump.
A couple weeks later it floods again with 6 inches of water. Luckily, I have been dry ever since then. Not bad for a house they said never leaked.
Yes, this is a true story and it all happened within one month.
