HelpRe: Nikki's Random Events Congrats Round 2 (edit)
in reply to a message by Nikki
LN: Powell
DH: Andrew Niall "Andy"
DW: Miriam Edith
DD/DD: Winter Gethsemane ”Winnie” / Magdalene Snow ”Magda” (5)
DS/DD: Tobias Oisin "Toby" / Iselin Maeva "Lin"
Andy and Miriam were astonished to find that they were expecting twins again, and welcomed Toby and Lin soon after Winnie and Magda's fifth birthday. As a part of the older twins' birthday present (and in order to make more room in the house) the Powells were in the process of converting the basement into a playroom, however when they were halfway through there was torrential rain. Many of the nearby houses were flooded, and most of Winnie and Magda's friends had to leave their homes. Luckily the Powell house was on fairly high ground but even so, the high groundwater level by the end of the week meant that the normally bone dry basement was flooded 18 inches high. Andy went down to check on the new flooring he'd laid in there the previous day and got a nasty surprise. All the work of the last three months was ruined, but thankfully, the damage to the structure of the house was minor. The basement is still very damp from the flooding, but it is drying out, slowly but surely. The Powell's are very thankful that the damage wasn't worse; there are many people in their town who can't move back into their homes yet.
