ok my basement has 4 lights which can be turned on or off from two locations. I want some of these lights to be controlled by another switch. How can I accomplish this. Thanks

tonite we had some heavy duty thunderstorms with driving rain. i was in the basement and i noticed some water dripping from the corner of the breaker box. upon further inspection, i saw that there was also water between the breaker switches... what i think might have happened is that the driving rain compromised the electric meter box on the outside of the house and ran down through the main trunk line (the big thick 2"diameter gray insulated wire leading into the house and then right into the middle of the top of the breaker box on the inside) like a drainpipe. i called pse&g (public service electric and gas, for those outside NJ) and they told me that it was not a hazard. they also had their hands full with lots of storm related outages throughout the state so maybe my call didn't fall into their urgent category... is this really not a hazard? my gut tells me that water in or near the breaker/electrical system is not a good thing but pseg assured me that this was not a hazard and the customer service rep said that all the calls were recorded i doubt they'd go out on a limb and make a diagnosis like that if they weren't totally confident in it. the water was dripping only once about 30 seconds and then later after the rain let up, about once every 3 minutes so eventually it'll dry up. what about next time? is this something i need to worry about everytime it rains now? anyone ever hear of this or experience it first hand? hazard? not a hazard? thanks in advance - sorry if this is too detailed or longwinded. if you've gotten this far, that too is appreciated. regards austinpm1
