What is a field expedient way to perform a needle chest decompression to relieve the pressure of the tension pneumothorax if you don't have a catheter?

You need to create a hole through the chest wall to relieve the pressure. You can do this as you would insert a chest tube by making an incision through the lateral chest between ribs. If the patient is able to cooperate, you would want the patient to breathe in fully, and then seal the hole while their lung is inflated. Preferably, you insert a chest tube with water seal or suction; but you could instead cover the hole with tape or another occlusive dressing.

What could be causing water to flood the basement when it rains?

You could have different problems occurring. Possibly the drainage from your roof is clogged causing the water to pool at the base of your home. You may also need to provide some type of drainage around your home that carries the water away from your home instead of pooling around it. Check outside next time it rains to find out if your gutters and drains are clogged or if the water is pooling around your home. You may need to change your landscaping or provide drainage piping to lead the water away.
