Crazy how the water just sits there like that. Has this happened in this area before? How long do you think it’ll take for the water to clear out?
This is the highest the water has been since 1913. The last major flood in the neighborhood was 1991 and it was several feet less than this. Not necessarily expected, but we do live in a flood pain so...
Flood pain is right... Best of luck getting that sorted.
