Hurricane Irene Post #13

7:15 am Monday - Ok, this is really the last post... One last bit of damage in the house - Colleen noticed a ceiling tile in the basement was wet, towards the back of the house. After checking it out, I determined that it was water that must have dripped from the heat duct that ran from the main ductwork at the back of the house, to the vent next to the front door, where we had a small puddle of water from the leaking picture window. Water probably ran down the vent and into the duct, and when the duct turned down to meet the main duct, leaked out onto the ceiling tile. It looks drier this morning.

All in all, Irene turned out to be mainly a pest for our family, not a disaster, fortunately. I'm glad we were prepared!
