It wasn't dry... the basement, that is...

There is a clog in the underground tile that runs from the eaves to the street. We found that all the water from the roof was bubbling underground at the corner of the house where the front downspout was attached to the tile. Pulled out the downspouts, rigged them to drain out the the street on top of the ground. Rained all night. Dry basement. Praising the Lord!

 Now praying that the temps will stay above freezing. Could make for interesting snow fall if the temp plummets.
