We've been having a flood today, up to 9 inches of rain today. These are some pictures from my house and my daughters house.

Someones Camry didn't quite make it.

View from my daughters deck, used to be a small pond.

The view out basement. The waters went back down 6 inches before pic.

View just outside of my daughters housing addition.

Oh man, that is some major flooding. There will be serious damage in those houses there. I hope you make out ok.

I am glad I am on high ground.

At what length can you keep a Camry in KS, as opossed to having to throw it back?

Glad you are safe.

X2 having being flooded out a few times, you have my sympathy. I hope you and your family and all your property / possessions are OK. Those are some dramatic photos.

Wow amazing pictures! Hope you are all well and get through this with minimal damage.

What part of KS is this? Anywhere near the Missouri boarder?

We are all fine, we got all of the furniture out of my daughters basement. The water has gone done about a foot.

We live in south central kansas, just north of Wichita.

The fire department came to the door at my daughters house this morning at 5:30 and told them to open the doors and windows.There neighbor had when down in the basment of his house and passed out from carbonmonoxide coming in through the sumpump drain tile.The fire department and Hazmat were checking every house and found high levels of co2 and low oxgegen levels. Last night it rained another 2 inches from 2am to 2:45am. The water came up a foot in my yard,but went back down fairly quick. This morning the water has receded.

And now it's our turn. The Chicago area is being flooded by this rain and it's far from over. Last I heard.

Yep it's coming our way tomorrow, right through Southern Ontario.

I'm glad I live at the top of a hill.

Stay safe everyone!
