Had this happen during the last big rain...mine was 5".
What was really strange is we had several plugged in powerstrips laying on the ground that still had live power running...nothing shorted out.
My sump pump floater stuck down, rendering it useless during the night of rain. I had my two cats crying on the steps, wanting to come up stairs.
I was told that the water must not have had many impurities in it or breakers would have popped off.
When Martinsville had that huge flood a couple of years ago, my grandmother's place flooded like this. Water up to the top step of the basement stairs. She lost EVERYTHING down there. Well, everything but what was in the chest freezer! Like yours, hers floated. The contents were still dry and frozen 2 days later when we finally got it pumped down.
