I unfortunately can't fill the tub as something happened awhile ago where my dh had to cob job a major leak (it is a very old shower knob/handles) that went into our basement and he put a in different system so that you can only use the shower no bath..I hope someday to have a new bathtub that I can take a bath in..

Thanks though!

UPDATE:

No flooding or damage here in north jersey (at least where we live)

No flooding or damage at my parents house in South jersey, they live about a mile from a bay. Mom said they had no flooding and actually barely have puddles. ALso she said there was a big branch in a neighbors driveway but no house/property/car damage. Also they didn't lose any power.

We are on a generator..ONLY because my dad who lives up the road from me had a tree that is rotten from the inside he told fell on the power lines..everyone in the local surrounding area has power..Our county has issued a" State Of Emergency" to not be on the roads unless you are state officials or have a emergency when you can not contact officials..Lots & Lots of flooding here.
