I'm guessing that this was over an hour and a half . . . 10 month old new house, didn't get nearly this much for IKE

2" in the garage.
4 more inches, and it would have been in the house !

it was in the street earlier . . . the street has 3.5-4ft of water in it . . .

My house backs up to a drainage ditch, and then behind the ditch is a huge retention pond . . . both were full.

every neighborhood around here flooded . . . made a beer run and checked out the damage and water lines.

It usually puddles around here . . . but nothing like what happened.
