Here’s hoping you were spared the blackout during torrential rains.

And I suppose this is on me, but we bought this place which met all our dream features and when we heard it had a sump pump… having grown up in a desert myself, I didn’t exactly understand the ramifications.

I’m a bit stunned there isn’t a simple device that has a small battery in it that remains charged until it needs to scare you out of bed.

I learned in this thread about “smart plugs” which seem like they could be purposed to this task but even that’s not spot on.
