水淹多伦多(Toronto)

 

飓风Beryl小姐(哥)离开后,两天前(2024-7-16)大多倫多市在约三小时内下了平均一个月的雨量(超过100 milliliters),使到许多低地的房屋遭到雨水淹没的破坏。幸亏我住的区域建在高地,只有车库有些小水渍,并无大碍。

 

还记得三十五年前我们把近市区的旧房子押(refinanced)给银行,托一个香港来的华人房地产经纪找一间四睡房的房间(因为三个儿女都长大了)。他带我们去看了两三间,都是建在低洼地区的,我们并不满意。后来他就没有再联络我们了。

 

我在西人的报纸上看到星期日有房子开放参观(open house)。当我们来观察这间屋子时发现地点建在高地,附近不远处还有一条小溪通到汉堡河。房子肯定没有水淹的问题。立即二话不说,杀了个价,签了个offer。

 

当我们回家不久就接到那经纪的电话,恭喜我们已买到这房子了。

 

现在觉得我们的决定是对的!
