Stop in for a cup of coffee

Well, than was fun...not.

A massive thunderstorm parked over us and dumped an inch of rain is 15 mins. Rapid lightning and thunder and all our phones suddenly go off with a tornado warning.

Down to the basement we go only for me to see 5” of water piled up in front of the slider door out from the walk up basement. I couldn’t open the door to clear it or the water would come rushing in. All we could do was redirect the water coming around the door into the trench around the floating pad.

Once the lightning stopped and the tornado warning passed, I had to go out and down the steps to clear the debris blocking the drain cover. Once I got it opened, it drained in just a few seconds.

I’m soaked, muddy and not happy. At least no real damage was done.

Time to get cleaned up and have a beer. What a PITA.
