i finally heard back from my friends who lost their house in the last flood - she said they have flooding, but thankfully were able to contain it to the crawl space so it didn't flood inside the house. Their garage, of course, got flooded again. She said it's solid water from their porch to the house across the street, and joked about it being ocean-front property. Guess a good sense of humor will help them get through this! (Last time they had to have the house striped down to the 2x4's and rebuild all over from the floors up, including new drywall. They only got moved back in about 7-8 weeks ago.)
As Diana pointed out, this has been a disaster for some homeowners. The housing market is bad enough all ready, but the floods brought everything to a stop in Findlay. You can't live in a ruined house, but you can't sell flooded property so you can move, either.
