Here's a cool basement story! Western NY, flood of 1972. My uncle's
basement floods almost to floor height. All pumps in the area are
being used to try to save businesses, etc. If you come out of the
basement, go about ten feet, then you go down a 10' drop to a stream.
So, always, even in my youth being resourceful, I used two garden
hoses and siphoned the whole basement!

How long did it take?
