I'm a bit surprised your sink drain didn't clog, rather than the much
bigger pipes downstream.

    

But there is really no indication that it is actually disposal refuse
that blocked the line.  The line is blocked somewhere downstream from
the floor drain.  Just because what came down the pipe next was from
the disposal, does NOT mean that the disposal caused the bolckage.  He
could just have a wad of something in the house trap.  The diposal
refuse is merely a recognizable solid in the stuff that came back up.
Doesn't mean it is the cause.

This is a relative matter and John overemphasized the amount of refuse I placed in the disposal.  I had the borough out this morning and a local plumber and none of them fopund any blockages.  In fact they both said the lines were pretty clear.  I think my little munchkins had something to do with this...perhaps something passing through.
 
I vaccuumed a lot of water up and am now running a drying fan.  Next I have to figure out how to get the smell out of the house.  I hope a good cleaning will suffice.
