In Late May, very early June we had half a years rain in a week, about 25".
we had 8" of rain in 3.5 hours at one point here, and some places just to the north of us got 12" of rain in that same 3 hour to 3.5 hour time frame.
Water was ankle deep on the road when we went into get some old folks at the nursing home that were already trapped, and the water rose 18" in 15 minutes!
What was ankle deep when we went in was 31" deep when we finally got everyone loaded and got out of there!

Take some advice, You don't own ANYTHING that is worth your life!
When the rescuer tells you to drop everything and get on the truck or wagon or boat....
DO LIKE HE TELLS YOU!
Unless you REALLY want to die!
Just a few people held us up until we very nearly couldn't get everyone back out!
I had a dedicated off-roader that sets up high, and it's got a snorkel, plus it's set up for mud bogs and water holes...
Mine doesn't drown out like stock vehicles do, so in our case, we were just LUCKY!
If I would have had a stock vehicle, we wouldn't have made it back out, and most of the hold up was just a few people that didn't want to leave behind the dumbest stuff!
Some people wanted to take kitchen appliances, furniture, ect. with water already knee deep in the building, and they WOULD NOT let go of this crap!
Anyway, we survived, no one we went after died, and all is in the past now!...
