Check out this video. This is in my neck of the woods, very near where I got flooded out last summer. Click it. Remember, kids, there's no draining when it's raining.
I lost a car in a similar incident; no light under overpass, drove by, car stalled in 1ft. water, storm sewer overflowed (on a very smaller scale) and water rose to 5ft... Insurance paid a new car and is suing the city .
