Nice job Ernie handling the emergency. I'm grateful all ended harmlessly. Very very fortunate indeed.
I would say water in my fuel is my biggest fear by far. So much so, I have managed to not have my airplane on a ramp in the rain. It sucks for sure. I wish I felt the same about my airplane getting rained on as I do my car but that has never been the case.
I've read this accident report several times on different occasions. One that sticks out in my mind is the C337 departing KPLK, Point Lookout (Branson), MO. The folks had been vacationing there and the airplane had been rained on during the week. Same exact scenario as your situation but if I recall correctly, both quit in that case. The airplane went off the end of the runway and down a steep embankment. It did not end like your case however.
Thanks for posting the information.
