Forgot to plug in my sump pump // what a F #$%^&*( surprize ....
Same exact story here - didn't think to plug in the sump - 4" of water throughout the basement / playroom. My wife's comment - "I'll bet you didn't forget to check the pump on the boat!" - Damn - she knows me too well.
Along the coast in NJ every shore town has these little ponds to act as catch basins when it rains.It is up to some town employee to open up the outflo pipe to the ocean in anticipation of a good rain.well for some reason three towns never got the pipe to the ocean opened up.belmar has 2 ponds one in town an one at the south end that was not open'd.they have a pump goin wit a pipe accross ocean ave to drain down the one lake.Deal lake borders Asbury park an Loch Arbor.probably the Nicest part of asbury an a very nice area across the lake many homes under water.My friend lives in Belmar he has water up to his floor joist's his garage much like mine is loaded wit gear has 30 " of water in it.It came real fast thursday night friday morn as it rained hard all night.there are alot of cars total'd along wit lots of house damage.As many where caught off guard.they can't near the pipe to open it now its way too dangerous.Someone's gonna pay as damage's will reach record amounts.15 inches of rain in 8 days.alot are sayin worst storm ever.

We have had such massive flooding in my town that they declared a state of emergency yesterday. There are people here that lived through the 38 hurricane and say this flooding is worse.
Me, my roof leaked and had about 3 " of water in the basement. But I live high on a hill. Not so bad
I had about an inch throughout my basement. SPent Saturday morning s#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&g it out with the shop vac. Got it pretty dry. Went to the inlaws then the canal saturday night. Got back sunday night and most of it was back
