2:30 AM Water Update

The water has be holding at 9.30 feet for the past couple of hours. I am waiting to see the water start to drop.At this point the water is touching the foundation on 3 sides of the house and my driveway is half covered. The road has about 3-4 feet of water.

My biggest concern at this point is the basement sump pump. I had bought a second pump as back up, and I burnt it out. My older pump is smoking, but still working hard to keep up with the flow of ground water. Its 2:30 am and I have a baby monitor in the basement so I can hear it kick on. If it fails, we lose the basement very fast. I must not go to sleep!!!

The store opens at 6, and I will be there.
