My basement is up to 8" of water so far...
 

...and based on radar images it appears that the rain will not be letting up anytime soon.

4" of rain had fallen by 3 PM and it has been down pouring ever since.

I am a mile or so inland but people on the water -- including some of my family -- are having much bigger problems.

WOW, so sorry to hear that man. We have had the hottest summer here in LA, 117 the other day in Downtown which is unheard of.

Are they making you guys evacuate?

where are youl located?

got a boat?

That sucks man,hopefully no hassle with the insurance company

After just going through it I'd say hit the nearest hardware store or Walmart and get some pumps and blowers immediately. They'll be in short supply real quick.

It has finally stopped raining.

Family says the pier is underwater but they are otherwise fine... most houses are built up on hills for that reason ... I'm sure there are plenty of low lying houses but I do not personally know people in any.

The flooding happened in my house because I have a walk-in basement with a concrete stairwell in the ground and the water was building up there too quickly and overwhelmed the drain. I'm pretty sure that is the extend of the flooding for most people except downtown, but they are used to such floods and the city usually sandbags in time. I will get out and survey the damage tomorrow.

Could have been a lot worse if it didn't stop. High tide might be a problem for some.

I'm in Annapolis, Maryland, 30 minutes outside of DC.

Wow, I am glad to hear you are safe but the rest has to be such a major headache.

I'm glad you are ok. We are getting tons of rain on the coast. Schools closed and the power went off a bunch of times yesterday. Hopefully things stay dry for the next couple days.

Ugh what a pain in the ass, water damage sucks big time. Sorry to hear it, now I won't complain about walking the dog in the rain that's for sure

Make sure you check for black mold after the water is pumped out. Louisiana boy here so definitely know what I'm talking about.

sorry to hear about that and hope insurance process goes smoothly. My father installed a sump pump in his basement after having a similar experience

is your basement finished or not?

cause you didnt mention damage to your walls etc

That really sucks! Sorry to hear it but glad your ok!

I went through a flood in June, what a mess.

Glad your ok, Hope your damage is not too extensive..

damn time to fill some sand bags

Sorry man. I sent that storm noth but did not think it would dump that much on you. It was not that bad here.

High rise living FTW!

Floods are the worst of the worst. Hope everything is ok

Call it an indoor swimming pool and sell the house.

Sorry to hear about the rising waters :( You'd think being so far inland would protect you more! Good luck with the cleanup!
