Clearly our basement has never flooded like this before otherwise the furnace and water heater would not be in the low spots they are.
I am filling shopvac after shop vac, luckily there's a door to the outside I can dump it out of. There's a tiny tube that is needed to get it to pump out a hose and Ernie is off at Lowe's trying to find a replacement. I sacrificed a turkey baster but that isn't working.
