Hank Scorpio Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 I'm kinda feeling like I should go un-block the storm drains on my street. This one sits almost directly across from my driveway - just not sure why they're still blocked, so I don't want to wreck the sewer system or something. Thoughts?

Thoughts? so there's construction debris everywhere and the storm drains are blocked in your 'hood Hank? good lord!! does that good homeowner's policy have flood coverage?

aldie 22 Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Definitely noticeable wind pick up when the heavier rain bands come through...three nice looking bands aiming for Virginia beach...first one came through and the gust was close to 50 for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herb@MAWS Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 My thoughts as well, but you never know..... Common sense (oh yeah, it's The Gov) dictates you don't put a few 100,000 folks on the roads given the current expectations of Monday's conditions declining all day.--- plus ponding of water on roads, high winds/reduced visibilities, slower traffic anyway in bad wx .... it just makes no sense. Plus, there are the other institutions with the good sense to have already canceled. A call for "liberal leave" tomorrow would just be a Gov cop-out to save themselves a few bucks so they don't have to pay everyone an admin payday, with no use of anyone's personal leave. Hopefully, common sense prevails. (... and more importantly, it should prevail so that I can enjoy this) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hank Scorpio Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 is it a true block or does it catch debris? Good question. it isn't a complete seal, so I suppose if water flowed high enough it could still get in, although at a lower rate. That's a good point though...I'm guessing it's just like silt fencing, where they're just trying to keep as much debris out of the sewer system as possible. I guess it couldn't hurt to remove it, since it is already open at the top so there's construction debris everywhere and the storm drains are blocked in your 'hood Hank? good lord!! does that good homeowner's policy have flood coverage? Haha yes, a construction-created danger zone. On the plus side, there are no giant trees to fall on my house, so I got that going for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
