Flooded Basement

The typhoon that hit the Philippines last weekend brought so much rain and flood. Classes were suspended for two days. For areas that were badly hit with flood, classes were suspended for the entire week. We were out in the garage trying to manage the rising flood water from entering the house. We had sandbags strategically placed to prevent the flood water from entering the house. My son told Ethan to man the basement to alert him if flood water was seeping in from the walls. 

After an hour of working outside, we gave up with the sandbags as the entire backyard was already submerged in flood water. My son called out to Ethan if the basement was flooded. Ethan answered "no". He was on a sofa in the basement playing computer games. When my son went down to hang out in the basement he was so surprised to see half of the basement floor already with flood. Ethan never noticed! Too bad though as my son's converter was on the floor, wet.
