On the 3rd of July, the town floods. Well, such is life. I hope that historic old city is not impacted, what with it being the place the Declaration of Independence was signed and all.
There goes the famous Philly 4th of July parade, perhaps. Not there anymore. Glad of it.
Had a water main break in our block 30 years ago at the intersection of our narrow street and an even narrower street down the block. Destroyed my furnace, washer, dryer and many stored items. State Farm wouldn't pay. Water company listened to everyone's pipes who had flooded basements, and promptly ordered the repairs of all our so-called pinhole leaks in the house pipes that connected to the main, which they claimed were the actual cause of the main break ten yards away. Right. Probably had a kickback deal set up with all the plumbing companies in the city. That's the Philly way.
