I have one intersection that still has standing water to the top of the curb. It is a low lying area and is likely not draining because the wetlands/prairie/swamp near us is very high.

The water would need to rise at least two more feet to come close to entering the nearest building. I have no idea how much rainfall it would take to add another two feet of water.
