Very true! Only time I had storm related water problems like that was when get got dumped on a few years ago. My yard is sloped so I usually don't have standing water. But it was like a river. It collected in front of my basement windows and looked like a waterfall inside.

You guys need to check your insurance polices. Some don't cover things like this. I found that I was protected if a pipe broke but they didn't cover water from underground/outside unless there is a special rider to attached to the policy.

I just took an X5 for a test drive down to Windham. There are about 20 people walking along with cameras by the bridges.

Theres a guy who has a dam/private waterfall in his backyard. NOT such a good idea, it almost looks like the entire first floor of the house is flooded. BAD *** house too, thing is huge.

If it isn't too dark out later, I'll take the 4wheeler out down the streets with a camera.

Thats what was the worst they closed some roads, but then continued to close others here and there. So you were able to find a way to where u had to go but when you went to leave more of the roads were closed and you had to try and find another way!!

Well I am actually from Wisconsin, but am on a family vacation driving along the East Coast this weekend. We left home friday night and until about noon today there was not much time that we were not driving through rain. We drove from the Niagra Falls up to Maine yesterday going through Vermont, and New Hampshire before going into Maine. As we were driving out of New Hampshire into Maine we heard on the radio of all the schools and other events being cancelled in the area. Then in Maine there were many roads barricaded because there was standing water or the road had actually washed away from so much flooding. Then on the way back towards New York driving through Massachusetts there was a big traffic jam due to Route 1 being closed. So idk I hope this is not ow it is all the time here beause I am not to impressed of this whole East Coast trip. j/k it is nice just not a fan of the weather this far.

It just an old vert ('96) that needs a new top, & this rain we had "tested" the weather strip integrity.

It had always leaked a little during heavy rains, or going through a car wash, but the 4" of water was quite the sight!
