Check out the fun time we had outside and inside on June 4th, 2008. We had fun moving water trying to avoid what would be 6 inches in our basement. Two tornado warnings that night, the second of which was a supercell, the granddaddy of all thunderstorms. F2 or F3 tornado hit just south of town. Barns and stuff destroyed but no homes and no injuries.
We ended up having the basement flood or have backed up sewer six to ten times with 1 to 6 inches deep each time. It came about that we had our drain clog the first time and so it would back up each big rain. Now we are getting a new roof and gutters because of the hail that night plus bunches of small jobs done with FEMA and insurance money. We lost some possessions in our basement and had to have our water heater relit several times. Thanks to our friend, Ken, who helped us light it. Glad we haven't had any major rain since July 25th.

I am sorry you had all that trouble. It sounds like a lot of work!
Yes, it was. Lots of costs too.
We had an awful time too. About 2 feet of water.
Did you have to replace anything?
