Did anybody get flooded this morning? Here at work we have an old building and the flood waters poured into the basement and then the septic backed up into the basement… we were down there all morning trying to salvage closed files that were on the floor. Its going back down for now- but weare supposed to get hit again in a couple hours. The stream that follows Babcock Blvd. \> My work. Atleast we arent the building across the street… they are down from us and had water up to the windows on the outside of the building. no wonder that guy cant get anyone in there since the flood a couple years ago… ---

I had to detour around Millvale on my way to class this morning. I drove down to the end of my street and realized Evergreen was flooded. They had a police car blocking off the exit on 28. Who wants to come to Millvale anyway though? ---

Turtle Creek (as in the actual creek) is flooded, Beulah/Brown ave is closed from the foodland all the way down to Tri-Boro. Tri-Boro was closed but it is open now. ---

Got on 376 at about quarter till 9 this morning. I was amazed to see no traffic what so ever going into town, followed by the rain stopping. SO im actually happy it rained, kept everyone off the road. :bigthumb: Even though I woke up about 5 times this morning. Due to 3 trees getting stuck by lightning, about 12 ft outside my window. Was actually kinda scared to get a shower this morning because of all the lightning ---

LOL EXACT same thing happened to me on Mcknight. Crazy flooding, 1.5 hours drive into town - and it wasn’t even raining anymore. They better upgrade the sewer system with that much concrete around and nowhere for the rain to be absorbed into the ground. ---

I had a fun delivery through Turtle Creek today at work. Our box trucks had water up to the tops of their wheels too. Made for a really fun / awkward day. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/flooding/191687.md?page=2)
