New Orleans is Sinking!

I feel quite sad for what Hurricane Katrina did to New Orleans. It reminds me of the Tsunami distaster from last year. It's crazy how mother nature can scare you into realizing that humans don't control everything.

Here in K-town, I measured from 10pm last night to noon today (14 hours) that we received about 75 mm of rain in my back yard. I spent yesterday evening setting up a third pump in my sump pit and my new triple pump pit really did the trick. No flooding! YEAH! At it's peak, my sump-pit was filling up every 41 seconds. WOW! That's a lot of water coming in. I'm just glad the power stayed ON!!! I would have been at the mercy of the water if the power would have kicked off. YIKES!!! Can you buy a generator that works inside??? Hmmm. I dunno. Oh well. Crisis averted!!!
