Quake3World

After 10 days of intense rain, the first sunny day and out basement which has been dry as a bone is flooded. Don't know how, or why we are way up on top of a hill and 4/3 of the basement is above ground.

My landlord woke me up at 8 this morning because of the water it was only about 4" deep and only on my half of the basement. I went to my dad's and grabbed his sump pump and shopvac and went to work.

Spiders all over this huge basement, I have spider bites all over me and I am itching like a motherfucker. Seems since all their homes have been destroyed they are taking their anger out on me WTF.

And WTF was a Prying Mantis doing down there?

Water is still seeping up through the sump pump well... the one with the dead sump pump in it LOL. but as long as I keep on top of the pumping we should be ok in a day or so. The shopvac and fans got 90% of the water up the floor is almost completely dry already

Sadly I lost one cardboard box full of rubber balls and one Ortophone nightclub record stylus with 4 replacement needles The rest of my crap was in rubbermaid Bins, those fucking things PWN

Takes some pictures pls.

i would've suggested a containment suit

Already dry not much to see anymore only a sump hole that keeps filling up with water. Once an hour i run down and flip it on.

Show us the spiders

they are all sucked up in the shop vac floating their way through the sewer system

take one of the spiders to bed with you. Before you fall asleep, stroke its back two legs with the tip of your fingers.

Spiders like this.

Probably feasting on the spiders.

In Australia, if you get bitten, you die.

Australian spiders don't fuck about.
