Yeah I would def turn the power off to that circuit asap. I feel for you...I woke up to about an inch of water in my basement this morning. My sump is backed up because of the rain we've had here in OH and theres more rain headed our way. :ermm: We've had somewhere around 2-2.5 inches of rain so far and counting...

I'm wondering if I should start building an ark...:(

We ended up with anywhere from 3-6" of rain depending on which news broadcast you watch.:rolleyes: I think we got about 3" here and the town my parents live in got 6" total and theres a possibility of more overnight. I spent most of the evening in the basement with a squeegee trying to dry things out. What a mess... funny thing is the rain came from tropical storm Erin which is my wifes name. :eek2:
