Hey Brian, we stayed quiet from the storm. We could of had some cellar pumps, tree damage and wires down but the winds did not get too excessive, rains were not too bad and the snow was pretty well melted so we did not have to deal with high water.

Boy I am slipping this month on posting here....lol.


Brian, I got a brand new portable pump last year through a grant and it is not even in service yet. So between the two gas powered and electric sumersible, we can pump about 800 gallons a minute.

Speaking of pumping out basements.... have you had the honor of dropping a 6" suction into a basement window and using the pump on the engine to pump the basement out?? I have done it a few times in the almost 18 years that I have been doing this.

Yea it was kinda scary! I was in the advanced auto when the loud bang came from out side! A peace maybe 20x20 for roll roofing, ply wood and 2x4s was on the ground 15 feet from white! If white was hit I'd be sueing the crap out of them!
