If you have a sump to put a hose end into, siphon it. I had success
siphoning 16 inches out of my basement with two garden hoses (in parallel)
when hurricane Floyd hit NJ.

Subject: [Shop-talk] water in basement
We've gotten hammered with rain over the last few days. Our basement has
about 1 inch of water in it. It came in through the walls that aren't as
water tight as the floor which is waterproof concrete. We've never had
trouble before. My questions is this. How do we get the water out ?? It
isn't enough for most pumps that I am familar with. Any ideas ??
Thanks,
Dan
