My basement flooded.

Yeah.

I'm now the proud owner of an emergency sump pump (I got one of the last ones at Home Depot--there were a lot of desperate looking people there), my couch and my washer/dryer are up on cinder blocks, and I've got to make another stop and rent out a Rug Doctor so I can soak up more of the water.

I'm on call tomorrow, so at least it happened today.

ETA: It's been alternating thunderous downpour for 10 minutes, followed by drizzle for 5, rinse and repeat for that last 2 hours. My home teachers helped me out earlier this evening and we got the water drained out of the window sill, but it's filled up again and the little waterfall into my basement has spurted to life again. So far, my drain has continued to work, but there's water dripping from the wash room now as well. I didn't bother going to get the water sucker vacuum; weather.com is predicting this same weather for the next 2 days and I'll just save my money until there's a chance I can dry things up.

What a rough night. We're getting storms right now, but not the kind that passed through where you were earlier (Four inches in a few places!). Hope everything dries out pretty fast :-/.

It's downpouring again and still running down the walls. :(
