Oh no, that stinks so bad! Losing a whole layout to a random storm is the worst, it feels like the game is just out to get you sometimes. I had something like that happen in summer year 2, a storm wiped out my whole flower patch and half my sprinklers, and I just sat there like why do I even bother. Good call sleeping through it though, fixing stuff in the rain is the worst and you would've been out there forever. Smart move putting the new one away from the water too, at least that cuts down on one problem. Rebuilding is annoying but you'll probably end up liking the new spot even more, that's how it always goes for me.

Spoiling a comic at a con is pretty low on the list of crimes if you ask me. People act like it's some huge deal but half the fun is talking about the story with whoever's around. Dude probably just wanted a reason to feel like a hero for a day.
