I'm doing both... 3 fish out the back door, in between downpours and monitoring the sumps... one of the benefits of living on the water, I get lots of sanity breaks

had pioneer basement come in a few years ago and since then no aqua in da hizouse....lets just hop the pump holds up as she is pumping every ~40 seconds.....YIKES!!!

Pioneer gaurantees no aqua in the basement after their work so lets hope I do not need to call them.

Got the backup ready to go and the backup to the backup as well.

I am going to stream video of the pump and basement from my PC to my work PC (yes I am a loser) so if the pump alarm starts a blowin I can come home and activate the backup.

Been in my waders since 0400, and no fishing!!! Gotten eight calls so far. Having half a dozen pumps brought up from CT as all are sold out here in eastern Mass. Sucks, as have been managing a stream in my shop too, but is manageable with two pumps keeping up with the half inch of groundwater I'm recirculating. My clients and neighbors are much worse off, so not complaining too much. Ten inches here so far....

I've been bailing over my mom's house all day. My back's killing me because the ceiling in the basement is only 5' high and I'm 6'1". This sucks.

Manch and Gloucester are pretty well soaked at this point... I live at the top of a street and when we walked down to the ocean there is a river just pouring into this poor guys house maybe 5 houses down... He is probably the most screwed i have seen so far.

This is incredible...Its been pouring for 3 days with no breaks here.
Went down to bass rocks in gloucester yesterday. The surf was absolutly amazing.... and the flooding is prime time television material..

Has anyone seen downtown peabody? I hear it is a lake right now.

Just heard this is the worst in this area since 1936.. Probably will be the worst ever when its done... WOO HOO.
