Waiting For Hell (High Water's Already Here)

There was a tremendous rain storm earlier tonight, and my apartment flooded. This happens every time it rains, and normally it's just a half-gallon or a gallon of water near the outside door. Tonight several other leaks appeared while I was at work, and three rooms were soaked. Including the living room. Which is also the library. I haven't finished a complete tally of the damages (that may take a day or so; my apartment is quite crowded, and finding dry places to put things while I try to assess the damage is not the easiest task in the world), but I can already see that I've lost close to two dozen books, quite a few journals and magazines, at least two CDs and one DVD (The Princess Bride). In any event, things will be a mess here for a few days at the very least, and updates may not occur as regularly as they should.

Christ, I hate to hear that books have got damaged/lost. Hope the ultimate tally is not severe.
