Today my husband rigged up a garden hose and a plastic storage container, so if the sump pump goes out, we just have to bail water from the sump into the container, and the hose will carry it to the utility sink and out. In theory.

But, years ago when the snow melt started flooding the basement, he did a similar hose rig and it worked fine, so....

Maybe it's my cynicism, but I'm just not that worried. I think this storm is at least 75% hype.

Don’t rely on it being hype, I hope you keep your eyes on the weather channel. Went through Hugo (cat 5) in the 80s. Not something to discount.
