Four inches of storm water throughout our entire condo
I did pray for rain, and the Lord surely answered that prayer! We received 5 inches of rain in about 4 or so hours. Unfortunately, our storm sewers were overwhelmed. Once again, Ben stepped out of bed into water at 3:15am. The clean-up has gone incredibly fast this time, since we installed ceramic tile and vinyl-backed carpet tiles after the last flood in February. We are almost back to normal this evening!

Oh, how I wish half that rain had been here, just so you wouldn't have so much to clean up (and we'd get some grass back!)
Oh my!!!!
That is crazy! So sorry this happened to you! Praying for you!
Thanks for sharing - I'm looking for some flooring that can take a few inches of water once in a while without too much fussing. I'm split between plactic laminate and ceramic tiles. With the plastic, I'm told you still have to remove, wash and reinstall the floor after a flood which sounds like a HUGE hassle!
Have your floors dryed ok?
I've just flooded for the second time in a little over three years (despite never having flooded in the previous twenty years!) and I'm very concerned it could happen again. Insurance companies where I live have stopped paying out for water damage because we live close to a river...whoever thinks global warming is hoax should come visit me! ;)
So sorry to hear about your flooding issues! It is never a good experience. The ceramic tiles worked great! Really there was nothing to do except mop them clean once the water was all gone. The vinyl-backed carpet tiles, however, are another story. We had to remove them, dry them off, and let the concrete dry before replacing. A good bit of work, but at least we don't have to pay to have the flooring replaced again.
