Because he was n't aware that this sort of thing is inevitable .Because this was the end .Because there was some dampness in the basement carpet .None of the above choices .

Apparently , there was some dampness in the basement carpet and he figured this was the end . He had never owned a house before so was n't aware that this sort of thing is inevitable under these circumstances . We had another wicked storm last night .
