So pissed! I really hate all this rain we've been getting.
Besides not being able to replace the muffler on my car due to all the rain and my inspection sticker being expired, I came home from work tonight to find the basement flooded (~6 inches of water). Water above the bottom edge of the coolerdor door ( I keep it standing on end to make getting in easier), and a bunch of our pantry food boxes soaked since I haven't gotten around to getting more sheves for them.
Once we got the water pumped out, I opened the cooler to find that water had gotten in it .
3 boxes, 2 bundles, and 1/2 lb of Heartfelt beads soaked.
The bundles I wasn't so much worried about, but the boxes!!!!
1 box of Mi Barrio El Acere - fortunately these had cello on and after drying off the cello, they look OK and should survive.
1 box of La Riqueza petit robustos - some wetness in the box and damp spots on 4 or 5 of the cigars resting against the bottom - I think these might be OK once they've dried back out, it seems to be only condensation spots.
1 box containing 9 Viaje Summerfest and 5 Exclusivo robustos - totally soaked!
6 Summerfests and 2 Exclusivos look like they were totally submerged under water and the remainig cigars have damp spots on them.
I guess I should consider myself lucky nothing else seems to have suffered anything (except the higher than normal humidity, but without the beads, I'm not sure how to bring it back down).
(sorry for crappy cellphone pics)
Any suggestions on how or if these can be salvaged? I'm going to let them sit out for a while and see things go as the dry off some.
I think I'll dry the boxes at least 3-4 days before trying to put anything back in them.
I don't know what to do with the beads other that just let them sit, but with everything in the basement so wet, they will probably take weeks to dry out. Do Heartfelts ever recover from being submerged under water? Should I just buy more beads and forget about them?
