bluegargantuaHey,
Flood - major - non-tradeable:
If the primary victim has units on a flood plain, a maximum of 17 unit points are lost from the flood plain. Secondary victims on same flood plain lose 10 unit points. Cities on black city sites are safe. If not on any flood plains one coastal city is eliminated. Mitigated by Engineering.
Yeah so since apparently we're playing old school and there aren't enough civ advances for everyone (i.e. all the utility pumps in the state are sold out), I'm left with a small shop vac to try and get the water out (or at least down).
non-gamer speak: My basement has flooded. My understanding is that this house hasn't suffered from flooding in decades. So...hooray for me. Luckily we don't have too much down there and more of it is in plastic tubs/waterproof, but still. Not how I wanted to spend my day.

Date: 2010-03-15 03:36 pm (UTC)Spent the night elsewhere snuggling. Came home to find the basement about a 1/2" under water. The basement is where my work room is!
There is a dry well that backs up into the house when the ground is frozen, and 2 sump pumps that were not functioning last night. Reason, unknown.
Got the sump pumps working (nothing like sticking your arm, elbow deep in COLD water!) then cleaned the dirt out of the shop vac. And sucked up about 6 vacs of water. The rugs are still all wet. And there's still some standing water. But, I'm done for now.
Fans are set up, and I'll check the pumps regularly today.
Oh! And I had plans to get that sofa slipcover done today. NOPE! Not gonna happen!
