anybody got a spare pair of hip waders?

Like many basements in the Davis area, ours has decided to flood, and it's done so in spectacular fashion. About four, maybe four and a half inches of standing water completely throughout. The mice had improvised crude rafts and were floating around the debris. It's a miracle the furnace hasn't been taken out yet.

We're waiting to hear back from the landlord's cadre of plumbers. The rain keeps coming down. This does not look good.

Joy.

Sounds like you could benefit from a sump pump.

The basements in my condo complex are flooding too. People have their pumps going with hoses out into the street.

Of course, the road is so bad from the plowing this weekend that the sewer drains are too high for the water.

If this were snow, we'd all be snowed in, but at least we wouldn't be drowning.
