Wow, some intense lightning here. This is one heck of a storm.
-
SO much rain we started to flood. I've been standing ankle deep in dirty water trying to keep the house from floating away for the last half hour. I feel disgusting. But the house is intact.
-
@scottalanmiller Just ad Pontoons and a couple of boat engines.

Been bailing water. That sucked. But better than last major flood because I wasn't here and the roommates didn't know what to do.

Does it flood there that often?

@scottalanmiller Yikes! that happened to me a few months ago. I quick ran to the hardware store and bought another submersible sump pump.

Couple times a year. The interior atrium design of our house puts us at severe risk. We need to make some design changes.

Nowhere to send the sump water... it's the sump that was flooded.

Get a bigger pump?
Or Raise the floor a few inches, etc?

A bigger capacity pump would push the water out to the sewer faster, but this might just compound the street flooding that may be coming through his front door already.

Nope, there is nowhere to push it. The drain being blocked from the flooding was the issue. Pressure on the water was not a problem. A place for it to go is the problem.

Raising the floor would buy us time, but the water rose at over an inch a minute. So it would not buy us much.
