(39,343 posts)It floods all the time when it rains anything more than an inch. The swirl of the storm plus several hours of insane rain (from 1:00am-6:00am Monday) did a number on it.
My house is close to the river but not downtown and on a raised bluff 20+ feet above sea level.
People jammed too much stuff into an area too low and too close to the water.
