Pat was coming to pick up Lucy &#8211; normally it is a 15 minute drive &#8211; it took him hours, due to the flooding and blocked off roads.  Eventually, they got a pump going in the basement, which went on all night, and the situation (at least at my mother&#8217;s) is under control.  Other people have not been so lucky.  Schools, businesses, shut down.  The Facebook statuses of my Rhode Island friends are insane, pumps, and evacuations, and staying up all night hauling buckets of water out of their houses.  Hang in there, home state.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some of the stories coming out of Rhode Island right now beggar belief.
