Aaak! Head for high ground!
Well, yesterday morning, I go into the basement to get my workout clothes to go pump iron with mom...
And I hear running water.
"Oh," thinks I, "it's coming from outside because of the rain... or one of my housemates flushed the toilet or something."
But it keeps right on coming.. and coming.. and coming..
I look over...
"Oh shit!" I cry, dropping my workout clothes, not noticing I was standing two feet away from a puddle of cold water. The windows were POURING water into the basement. We. Were. FLOODED.
Hardcore.
So I woke up Kurt and Nik, we all salvaged our stuff, (nothing destroyed, thank God), and Nik went and bailed us out upstairs so the rainwater had somewhere else to run besides into our basement. Kurt and I shoved water at the drain in the basement, (which, comically, is uphill from the water).
It was quite a morning.
