my sump pump has been on constantly all weekend, my backyard is underwater, my garage roof is leaking everywhere, my breezway is leaking, and i have a waterfall running down the side of my chimney in my family room.
almost lost the SVT in the trench on saturday going to do the LCAs.
there is a temporary bridge on the merrimac behind where kim works that they put up while doing road construction, it is completely under water and the river is up to some of the windows on the mill buildings.
ths sucks.

My boss called me and said the ground level parking garage where our execs park has 3 feet of water! It's nice to be home for the day to keep an eye on things, but at the same time, I wanted to get some stuff done at work before leaving for SZ. ohhhh well!

Mike, I'm really sorry to hear about all that water leaking in. I was checking out the weather channel and saw all the flood warning/watches.

yeah it is pretty bad, I was home yesterday and it wasn't rainging there but my father had to dif a hole outside of the basement and put a sump pump in there to help with the water as we are about 3 feet above the water table, chances are now we are under the water table, as the back yard is flooded.
I am sure the rain will clear out, we will just have to take our time getting to SZ, no rush right?
I am alittle concerned about my apartment as it is slightly underground, but no leaks as of yet, the parking lot is about one floor up so the hill banks sharply down to the building, the spot where water was rushing under the stairs to my apartment in the rain has been plugged so that it good ...

I had a little water in the garage, but it would have been much, much worse if I had not installed some drainage last fall...
My town, Hooksett, is under a state of emergency and I had to pass two National Guard checkpoints to get out this morning (using my 2nd alternate route). Fun stuff.

Ugh - this is painful. Rain has slowed temp in Brighton for the moment - but this sucks. We haven't washed a car in a week.

Our pump started Saturday... unfortunately, the PVC that it was running out to had a cracked coupling and was dumping the water right back into the basement as it was pumping back out.
Our basement had about 4"- 5" of even water coverage, and we spent a good few hours last night using our shopvac to take up 12gal of water at a time and put it right back to the pump.
And of course, there's a ton of seepage since the ground is soaked, so it just catches right back up to where we drained.
We had to revamp some of our drainage, too.
*sigh*

I guess everyone is getting hit much harder than me for some reason. It's rainy and messy out but nothing like the flooding you guys are talking about. It was the first few days of the rain, tons of roads were blocked around here. It just started to come down heavy again here and only going to get heavier as the day goes on. Such a pain in the arse trying to mod my car for SZ with all this rain. I gotta paint my calipers today. I have a garage but the temp. and moisture in the air doesn't help too much.
