I am proud to say not a drop in the basement. Late last year I had water gushing through a window in the basement. Its dug out and stoned near the window but there was so much rain the water from the gutter formed a wall in the mulch bed and stacked up in the window well. I was looking up at the window from the basement and the whole thing was underwater. As water was pouring in I tried tightening the window and it made it worse. I ended up outside with a marine battery and a bilge pump. After 2 hours and getting the house soaked it was under control enough to pat it down and silicone. I siliconed the crap out of that window and it will never open again. But I am one very happy camper. This storm would have destroyed my entire basement if that didn't happen last year.
