Tempered glass is crazy strong against distributed pressure like that. It's why you can break your hand on a car window but a piece of a spark plug will shatter it into a million pieces.
I suppose you could try to seal around the door with waterproof tape and put sandbags around the bottom. I'd be more concerned with trying to brace the glass in some way so it doesn't break as easily.
Hard to do much when mother nature tries this hard to frick you
theres no stopping the flood
its still going to seep through the cracks and ruin the walls
you should have moved everything out of there asap.
now all that shit will likely get ruined also, and insurance will pay for none of it
I would play a game with a friend. We would take turns throwing things at the door until it broke. Whoever runs away last on the throw that breaks the glass “wins”.
go back in time to before the water was at the door's level and RTV around the door inside and outside with rapid-curing RTV, make a sandbag dam in front of the door and coat it with outdoor-rated spray foam
The door leads to outside.
Go around the other way and pump the water out. Then get some proper drains set up on the other side of the door so this doesn't happen again.
>kill power
You know, I never really thought much of it until now. But it is pretty stupid to put the electrical panel in the part of the premises that floods first.
Not that I'm about to spend hundreds or maybe thousands of dollars to move it. But I'm going to make a mental note of it at least.
>THE POWER OF FLEX SEAL
I'm mostly impressed that the glass hasn't broken and the seal is mostly holding it back.

Damn that's a well installed door.

Put a small boat in the room THEN play this game
I wouldnt have built my house there
but if you don't know where is there then how could you not build your house there?
We all know it's in lower Manhattan.
>lower Manhattan
Gross
Cut the power, take photos of undamaged space with timestamp; not in that order.

Nothing, at this point what happens is beyond your influence.

Is that a wave, or steady flow of water, jfc.
Start drilling a hole into the floor
Update?
He opened the door
Hire Badlands Chuggs to fix this whole fricking situation.
ooooh, das coooold
Pretend I never saw it and walk away
oh no!

I would prepare for the worst and get the f- out of there. Imagine the door bursting in a split second and facing that wall of water.
first, if possible, kill power. then go upstairs and wait to get rescued.
