I can totally relate Latewood, I have had two similar episodes both when I was in the area to catch them . but when you have a 50 gallon drum sitting on another 50 gallon drum it doesn't take long to have a major flood, lmao. my hallway on the other side of one of the walls carpet was wet for a week .once the hose just came out but for those who aren't familiar with the siphoning capabilities of water may like to know this ..... If you use a pump to pump water when you shut it off it is possible for the water to come right back the opposite way you pumped it right through your pump.
