I really think we could use a lessons learned or close call forum on here., So I'm sharing this in the hopes it will help someone in the future.

same here! glad your ok ! and the boats ok too
sharing an idea that popped into my head
of having a float attached to a wooden or plastic tube or stick
that would raise above deck only if and when the water level
rose it would start to show red....
when only a white tip showed had previously...
100% mechanical using no electricity no switches as a back up
idiot stick ... if you will... just a thought
