Jiminy Cricket; my wife & I have been in Poplar Grove for almost 3 years now & I’ve never really heard my sump pump kick on as much as it has over the last 12 hours (A little bit of rain has come in the basement but nothing standing from what I checked last night)

4.5 inches of rain yesterday & currently raining.

Cedar Rapids just can't get the big one, rain or snow.  Only derechos.

My records show quite a few big rain events up through 2015.  There was a ten-year stretch when I AVERAGED 8" in June.  I remember putting the pump on the patio and bailing out the window wells.  There just hasn't been anything like that in recent years, that's all.  While I love heavy rain, I certainly don't want water in the basement again.  One of these years we'll get a 5+" event and have water issues again.
