More water!

Late yesterday, the neighbour who loaned us the pump had to take it back, as he discovered that his window wells were full and it was about to pour over into his basement bedrooms. So by this morning our window wells were full, the entire backyard is about 4 inches deep,the whole length of the garage is flooded, ( where DD still has stuff stored from when she moved last summer)and water is pouring into our yard from another neighbour. We were out this morning to buy a pump, and so was everyone else who lives in this city. No pumps to be found, although the guy at Canadian Tire said he might have some on Wednesday. Other store personnel just laughed at us. In desperation we called my sister who lives about 2 1/2 hours away, wondering if they might have a pump or be able to get one for us. We knew that her DH is driving into the city today, so we would be able to get any available pump by late afternoon. My BIL found one for sale in his little town, we gave the store owner our credit card # over the phone, and our pump is on the way. In the meantime, DH has been on his hands and knees outside in the rain, bailing out our window wells. We've had better days!
