This kind of stuff always happens to everyone the first year they move to the country. Torrential rains and floods. Record snow falls and blizzards. Supposed to help toughen you up and build character. That's how come I am tough as an old shoe. Nothing like good old country living to separate the wheat from the chaff (-:

“An Extreme Rainfall Event Unprecedented in Recorded History Has Hit the Binghamton, New York Area” By Joe Romm on Sep 9, 2011 at 10:29 am Dr. Jeff Masters: An extreme rainfall event unprecedented in recorded history has hit the Binghamton, New York area, where 7.49? fell yesterday. This is the second year in a row Binghamton has recorded a 1-in-100 year rain event; their previous all-time record was set last September, when 4.68? fell on Sep 30 – Oct. 1, 2010. Records go back to 1890 in the city…. You don’t often see a major city break its all-time 24-hour precipitation record by a 60% margin, according to wunderground’s weather historian, Christopher C. Burt, and he can’t recall ever seeing it happen before.
