Convection plays very little role in this case. What's pushing the water into the tank is the pressure generated by the water tower/pump, which, as we all know, was not working well today.
gee...thanks!
I assumed that was a given. I was trying to create an image of the cold water pushing the hot water out of the tank. I'm no writer...so I may not have been successful in my attempt.

The OP did not ask how does water get into the water tank, he/she wanted to know why the hot water could not come out of the tank. I believe my answer was sufficient and stand by it.

No water, again. Utilities are seriously over rated.

If it only went out when it rained we would've had water all year minus a couple of days. That's not the case unfortunately.
