"Is it raining?"

This is the first thought that popped into my head when I woke up around 11:30pm Sunday night. I thought it was a bit odd for it to be raining, but went back to bed. I woke up again about ten minutes later and found myself thinking, "It could be raining, but in the house?! Yeah right." I knew something was up and so I got out of bed to investigate. No sooner than I jumped out of bed did I step in a puddle of water and had water hit my head. That's right, it was raining in my in-law's basement!

A little concerned that there would be water running from the ceiling in the basement I went upstairs and found that the main level was completely soaked and leaking from the ceiling as well. I woke up Chad who then went and woke up his dad. Everyone in the house spent the next 1 1/2-2 hours sucking up water with a wet vac, mopping, and emptying cupboards so they could air out.

Why was it raining in the house? That's right, part of the upstairs toilet broke and gushed so much water that it leaked from the top floor to the main floor to the basement. Everything is now dry, but there is some pretty yummy water damage...
