30 minutes of hauling an 8 gallon tank up and down stairs, roughly 30 seconds a trip, which means I did it 60 TIMES, and the level of water in my basement goes UP
I will try again tomorrow when it isn't still raining
On the plus side, there is no school tomorrow, which means I have the entire day to drain my basement. Whee.

Though I can imagine having a basement would make it about a 100x more terrible, which I guess is a pretty good explanation as to why absolutely no houses here have basements.

It could be worse.
It could be mole people.
What was even more awesome was that the guys that removed the heating oil tank also cut up and buried the exit for the sump pump. Muddy water all spraying back out of the pipe onto the circuit breaker.
That would be silly! its water he needs to move.
Getting up tomorrow to keep moving water at 5:40 am woo
Edit: Would get pump but 1) Roads are flooded 2) Have no money, and in order to get to a place that I could get money from, see 1
Edit: Oh wait, I forgot to mention that both my parents are out for the weekend and it's just me and my little sister here, so basically it's just me.
Its all wet anyway.

She's not actually that bad as a sister, but it's just that I can get about 5x as much water as she can out in the same amount of time.
Edit: Ok, if you guys can get a siphon to work against gravity, you can come here and drain my basement and I'll pay you FOUR WHOLE dollars
Maybe it's just me... but I tend to have a lot of caulking materials in my tool place and could probably patch up a leak in a matter of minutes...
Well, it's been leaky for a while, and we honestly haven't figured out where the water's coming from. It came in two areas at first, but now it's only coming into one place.
That initial leak compounded by the drain at the foot of the stairs leading to the basement being full and, in turn, draining into our house, makes the problem more problematic.

My Dad lost his record collection when the sub-pump in our basement stopped working.
Well, the mole people will appreciate the comics.

Big hurricanes still pose a bit of a problem to houses on stilts though.
They're actually extremely common on pretty much any coast, not just the tropics.
woooooo
Edit: I don't but I know a guy who does and knows how to use it. He is well versed in all manners of house-goings ons including floodings, and he came over and basically said there wasn't much we could do besides drain the water as it came in.
whyyyy
Flawless.
How... I really don't know. It would require me all the materials in your house, some lengths of plastic tubing and the blood of your first born.
Also more inefficient on account of the bike pump.
Yes.
