OMD Gini, firemen or no firemen....this is NO laughing matter. Four feet of water to me spells out a broken water main somewhere. You said your house was the lowest on the block so I'm wondering of the source of the problem is a few houses away?????
My dear friend...if I could I would jump on the first plane down there and help you clean up. This is the last thing you need right now with winter coming up. I sure hope that water heater is "salvageable". If not, won't your insurance company cover the cost of a new one?? Is someone from the city coming out to investigate?
Annie, I just knew you were one special kitty. Purrs and headbumpies to you for waking up your meowmie.
Edit: you know the funny thing is...at about 5am I woke up and immediately thought about you. It wasn't my gut feeling that something was wrong..it's just that you came to my mind. I didn't think much of it but couldn't get back to sleep to logged on to PT. Here I was browsing while you were up to your waist in water..... 
Was just thinking of something else.....not that it's a good thing, but better your house than your office. Four ft of water out there and you'd be done.

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!
