Waterworld, part 3

I was in the basement just now, attempting to get the several gallons of water absorbed by my throw rugs *out* of the throw rugs, when I noticed that the floor way, way beyond the rug was wet! Horrors! Could this mean the water had encroached even farther than I thought?

It could have, but it didn't. Closer inspection shows that when the wet-dry vac I have is sucking water out of a rug, instead of slurping up actual puddles, it throws a spray of water *out the back vent*. The harder I was scrubbing the rug, the more I was sprinkling the tile behind me.

Whimper....

Actually we have hills to our west so storms big enough to produce tornadoes are shunted north of us, where they hit a town along I-35 called Jerrold. (Which has been leveled by tornadoes something like three times, yet they keep rebuilding it...)
