It seems like no one (including meteorologists) knew the rain was going to be so bad. I wish there had been some way that we could have been told what a bad storm it would be. While the floods really could not have been predicted, the rainfall should have been. Compared to most, we were very, very lucky with only a few feet of water on the first level.
