The RAIN . . . pouring into the basement, pouring into buckets quickly placed under the "turned on faucet wall"


an evacuation took place . . .

and the next moring, look how the buckets were bulging . . .

This was the culprit . . . a backed up city drainage channel that poured through this opening, over the sidewalk and down the hill, into the front yard, and down into the basement.
