1. A storm water redirection device for redirecting storm water away from a building and into a municipal storm drain, said device comprising:
a channel drain being installed in the ground wherein said channel drain is configured to capture storm water, said channel drain having a plurality of intersecting sections that form a closed perimeter such that said channel drain completely surrounds a building wherein said channel drain is configured to capture storm water that runs toward said building;
a plurality of barriers, each of said plurality of barriers being slidably integrated into a respective one of said plurality of intersecting sections of said channel drain, each of said plurality of barriers being positionable in a deployed position having said plurality of barriers extending upwardly from said respective intersecting section of said channel drain wherein said plurality of barriers is configured to deflect the storm water into said respective intersecting section of said channel drain for collecting the storm water, said plurality of barriers being positionable in a stored position having said plurality of barriers being recessed into said respective intersecting section of said channel drain;
a first drain pipe being positioned in a respective one of said intersecting sections of said channel drain wherein first drain pipe is configured to drain the storm water from said respective channel drain;
a second drain pipe being positioned in said intersecting channel drain in which said first drain pipe is positioned, said second drain pipe being positioned above said first drain pipe wherein said second drain pipe is configured to drain the storm water from said channel drain when the storm water is filling said channel drain faster than said first drain pipe can drain the storm water from said channel drain; and
an overflow reservoir being buried beneath the ground wherein said overflow reservoir is configured to contain storm water, said overflow reservoir being in fluid communication with said second drain pipe wherein said overflow reservoir is configured to contain the storm water that drains through said second drain pipe.
