Da Flood almost repeateth

Remember the flood from last year? I've written about it before. Well, it almost happened again Tuesday night. Kingston got 60 mm of rain and my sump pumps were being overwhelmed by the 20 gallons a minute that was pouring out of my footing drain into my sump-pit! Jeez! The entire matter was exacerbated by the fact that, unbeknownst to me, my cat had pushed into the sump pit a small piece of scrap ABS pipe that clogged the empeller of my largest submersible pump! So the thing was probably working at about 25%. Jeeez! So Erin and I had to go out and buy two additional pumps just to keep up with the deluge! Holy smokes! There were 5 pumps in my pit and I had to manually operate them all night. I went to bed at 5:11am! SUCKS!
