It's happening 8 giant blowers and 1 evil dehumidifier running, my home is so noisy and hot! I didn't expect the temperature to get so high, right now my home is 28-32c hot! I have to move most of the plants in my room, which is a little bit cooler.. but I can't bag any plant, otherwise they will get cooked in no time. It's the first night and I see many plants are looking really bad, I can foresee that many will not make it It's gonna keep going until monday..!?

Can you leave them in the bedroom with the window open?

Very sorry to hear this Willy! Sounds so stressful. Perhaps you can do as Lloyd suggested and maybe bag the plants, turn off the grow lights (to keep things cooler), and rely on the natural light coming through your bedroom window for a few days.
Best of luck my friend.

Thanks, I do have most of my plants etc in my bedroom with window open, there's not much light from the window because we are I'm living in basement where its half in the ground. Grow lights are off so that the temp doesn't go up even higher..

It's still going on, but the plants and critters in my room are doing fine

So.. everything seems to be settled now. The carpet is replaced, the drain outside is cleaned, and no more worries about flooding for the next 1-2 years Fortunately this is not our house, we are renting, otherwise it'd cost us way too much, more than we could afford... Thankfully most of the plants and critters made it! Some look even happier than before haha. 2 guppies died due to stress (couldn't move the community aquarium because it was too big and heavy and we didn't have space to put it elsewhere ); and 2 kales, mimosa pudica and a berry plant and some herbs passed away. Some of the sensitive Drosera seedlings looked dead but they sprouted again and now recovering nicely, amazing plants! Hope this won't happen to anyone else! Make sure your drain is clean! Just want to thank everyone for the warm supports~! Willy

Please let me know if there are any CP losses I can help with. Hi Cole! Surprisingly no major CP losses! The sundew did get a bit dry and they looked not as pretty, but they are recovering fairly fast. The U. Gibba from you is blooming, and the Ceph could never be happier
