I've been up since 7:30 a.m.--bailing out my basement.
At least 680 L of water totalled. The house I'm renting has no sub-pump. Yet, I live in Windsor, the current 'rain capital' of Ontario this year (possibly even Canada). I think it's silly that my landlord hasn't installed one. The city offers a program to subsidize home-owners for installing them. But, I suppose he has his own reasons. Perhaps he doesn't know--the city isn't the greatest at advertising free money.
Anyhow, I skipped class and spent somewhere around three hours shovelling water with a bucket. My basement flooded--reason being the fact that it's raining outside and the city's drainage system failed.
Yes, I joked about surfing and sailing the treacherous tides of my under-home sea, but from now on I will always feel sorry for someone dealing with a watery basement.
