we set up in our backyard a 4 foot high, 18 foot diameter, 5000+ gallon pool.

Today, while my brothers were in it a hole opened up in our backyard, apparantly there was a dry well or septic tank that was there like 60 years ago that want sealed porperly and we are suffering for it. the water gushed under our backporch down our basement stairwell, smashed the lock clean of the door, and covered the entire basement (about 1000 square foot) with 10 inches of water)

we've been ripping out carpets and moving things ever since. we just finished "all we could do" for tonite.

thank god my brother in law is an expert with construction and has dealt with severe flooding before.

we're just thankful that one brother who was on the pool ladder was "only " swept up aginst the side of the deck and has some scratches and the other brother, who fell into the hole with the pool, got pulled out by the first brother.

i'll post pics later probably tomorow
