What I don't understand is I have a pump that works under water.
Now I know those pumps aren't normally under water but they COULD BE, witness right now.
Perhaps it's too simplistic but the pump that brings me water hangs right in the water. So it is possible, No?
But hey, it's too late now.

I think another problem is that the pumps are ELECTRIC. No electricity = no pumps.

"What I don't understand is I have a pump that works under water."
Your pump probably runs on electricity. If the electricity is off, your pump won't work.
The large pumps on the levees, however, run on Diesel, for the most part. Diesel engines don't run underwater, either.
It's a real problem.

You may be right about the pumps, but these things will be running on diesel at this point, and it would surprise me if they could work submerged. It would surprise me if they were placed so that they couldn't work under water, though :(
