No. It stopped around 6:30. I just woke up from a 2 hour nap. I can't sleep for very long. Too paranoid about rain.

I spent the last 2 hours filling up a 10 gallon shop vac and dumping the water into a bathtub.

Yes. It works fine. We just had too much rain in a short period of time. Poor drainage in the egress window wells was the problem. Will get that fixed if it ever stops raining!

From 3-4 am it's go time! Shop Vac is ready.

Here we go again folks. Rain throughout the night again and most of the day tomorrow. Help me Lord Jesus. :pray:

The plastic covered homemade covers are surrounded by sand bags so although helpful not a permanent fix. They do prevent direct rain from coming in through the main opening. The backyard slightly slopes towards the back of the house and water though limited will still find a way in until better...

I have two homemade covers made of 2x4's and chicken wire to prevent the grandkids from falling in. I wrapped them both in clear waterproof plastic and it does slow down the amount of water that runs into the window well but water still finds a way. Until that well is dug out with proper...

Water was pouring out from under the wall on Monday. I had to open the window and fill up storage containers rotating out 2 of them continuously for over 1 hour. I must have dumped at least 200 gallons into the bath tub. I'm still sore from the workout.

The frogs like it.

To escape out of the basement if there is a fire. They put them in newer houses in our community. There is even a metal ladder attached to climb out.

It started raining again around 8pm Tuesday night and it did not finally stop until 1:45am. The window well started filling up again at the bottom about half way this time and water has been coming in behind the wall. Not major amounts and I just spent the last 30 minutes using my shop vac to...

I have sand bags and covers over the egress window wells in preparation for the next round of storms.

Please pray for my wife and I. On July 1st it rained like 5-6 inches in 3-4 hours and our basement flooded. This was not an isolated incident in my community and we could only find one person who could get to us and have an estimate by the next day and repair the damages within a reasonable...

Allow me to cover all the bases with the word obey. Only believers have obeyed Christ by choosing to believe in Him (John 3:36) believe the gospel (Romans 1:16; Galatians 1:11-12) in order to become saved, and only believers obey Him after they have been saved through faith by practicing...

Why are believers judged according to their works? See 1 Corinthians 3:11-15. You keep trying to turn obedience into salvation by works. That is not obedience to the truth. (Ephesians 2:8,9) In 1 Peter 1:22 notice - "Purified your souls in obeying the truth" and notice in Acts 15:9 - "Purified...

It's not nonsense and once again, the KJV renders this same verse as: He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that "believeth not the Son" shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him. The NIV says "rejects the Son" and the HCSB says, "refuses to believe in the...

In context here, Jesus is telling us to beware of false prophets. who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves. (vs. 15) Whatever that means. o_O

I already thoroughly explained this in post #433. The KJV renders this same verse as: He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that "believeth not the Son" shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him. The NIV says "rejects the Son" and the HCSB says, "refuses to...
