No. It is well worth buying what they call a 'wet/dry shop vac' and can be found in Walmart, Zellers and hardware stores (not that expensive). It's like a vacuum cleaner and will soak up the water (also great for cleaning out fireplace soot and rubble or dust from sanding something in your home). If the water is very bad then rent a pump to help pump the water out faster.

Luckily, at this time of year it is probably still warm and dry and nature will take care of the problem. You could possibly drain the garden, if there is a patio, using a shop vac.
