Flooding again

Our street flooded again (this time no life-saving was needed).

So first it rained a little.


Before we knew it, our neighbors' yard had flooded.


Then the street flooded....


....and flooded....


...and flooded some more.


Luckily, there was a police car on the edge of the water to keep anyone from driving in again.


This is our poor neighbor's flooded yard draining into another neighbor's basement.


And within a half hour, the street was back to normal.
