Indiana Washed Away!

Tuesday, June 10th, 2008

I wanted to post a quick note about the recent flooding in Indiana.

We’re still here!

Local Creek 10x as wide as normal.

As an investor your home is in the general Indianapolis Metropolitan area which is about 30 miles from the major flooding you have seen on the national news. Thirty miles west and we had I-70 highway under water and shut down for 2 days. 30 miles south and the town of Martinsville (population 20k or so) was 90% under water.

Indianapolis communities did get wet, ie rained on, but flooding issues remained localized to homes with basements and non-functional sump pumps. Fortunately for you we did not receive any reports on the homes we manage. Unfortunately for me, my house lost power and my basement became a shallow pool for 1/2 the day Saturday.

If you have any questions, please relegate them to an email request as we want to keep our phone lines open for tenant communication in case some problem arises.

Again, there appears to be no damage to managed homes in the Indianapolis area.
