The neighbor behind me (only recently converted from a snowflake to a snowbird) left TV yesterday morning.

His yard always floods when we get a real downpour. I'd assess that the Mississippi River was flowing through his yard which resembled Lake Superior!

I'm very happy that my house is a good 3-4 feet higher than his!

In my six years, I cannot think of a time with more rain "at once" than we've had in the past 24 hours! I don't have a rain gauge, but am close to Market Square where something very close to 4" was posted earlier today!
