"I've got a waterproof 220V pump 150 feet down in my back yard. No long shaft. Power has got to be the problem."
You're absolutely right - but what of the generators? They had only less than a day of fuel?
Need more data!

Yet more incompetence, how the hell would anyone let this happen? There should have been a months fuel available for pumps that were impervious to water, behind levees 30% higher that necessary. But the libs who run the show just want to create more dependence by giving unlimited handouts, rahter than protecting the city as they should. Typical.

I think that the generator's got flooded. (Note to NO - next time put them ABOVE the floodwater level).
