Massachusetts braces for more rain and major river flooding
Really, this is a bit much now.
I called my hardware store this morning asking about pumps. Interestingly, he quizzed me on how bad my problem was before answering. I have about 2 inches of water across my basement, so he recommended I wait until this afternoon and pick up something called a skimmer (they are getting a bunch more in this afternoon). They called back a little later and asked again about what I needed, and recommended again that I wait and get a skimmer. He didn’t come out and say it, but I got the impression they are triaging things as they get calls, and saving the real pumps for the people who actually need them. Some people have serious flooding, with several feet of water.
