So needless to say the last 12 hours have been pretty devastating around me. The rain all started about 11 and and didnt stop until about 5:30 this morning. I was up most of the night watching the basement because not only were we getting rain we were recovering from a a very large snowstorm over a foot of snow already on the ground. Once it started raining there was no let up at all there was points were I couldnt see across the road to my neighbors house. needless to say we had about 7 feet of water in various places.There were firfighters knocking at peoples doors making them leave before the water took over the house. Mansfield Firefighters also rescued two women whose cars were stuck in five-foot-deep flood waters at Fifth and Adams Streets.They arrived to find the women standing on top of their cars. A rope was tied to a floating picnic table and each woman sat on it and was pulled one-hundred-twenty-five feet to dry land. Firefighter Duane Debo had to carry one of the women twenty feet on his shoulders.

Here are pictures from the flood.

Damn, that's pretty bad.

and yeah its bad.

we fourtunatly were very lucky we got a little bit of water in out basement but right as soon as it came in it went out.

That's good. Long Island floods out, but never seen it get that bad.

I've always hated floods. My house flooded like that when I was 10 or 12 or something. Since then I hated seeing this happen to others.

dang... I got that same storm here in Steubenville, but I live up on a hugeass hill, so fortunately the closest we get to floods is the retention pond on campus.

yeah so not cool hopefully everybody is ok and safe. is the water goin down yet? What was the highest level of water?

Wow that's a lot, glad your house is doing fine!

Florida floods bad because we're mostly at sealevel and because of mostly everywhere is a swamp already but I have yet to see something like this (knock on wood)

Glad to know you're ok !

Also poor cars... they're gonna stink.
