flood control

It has been really rainy the last 2 weeks. These have been pretty bad storms. Flash flood warnings pretty much daily for a while. I live in a basement apartment. Flooding was a thing that I wasn't concerned about after the first storm and I saw how good the drainage was. The street was flooding, but my entrance ways were fine! Then one night while playing games, when I stood up my foot felt cold. Realized that the apartment was flooding. At least part of the backroom was. Fortunately I don't put things on the floor. The computer sits on top of my desk so all was good and I could keep playing!
