Not a recent event. But last September i had two floods in my basement. both coming from one window. they each happened on a different day.
September 22
During the night there was a big thunder storm. and to accompany it, there were tons of flood reports. however, these were mostly related to Owatonna. because they had a live news report showing the entire place flooded with water. along with many people having to be rescued out of their flooded houses. this report was probably at 3:00 PM i think. But anyway during the night at around eight or nine, i heard water when i looked left, there it was spewing out of the window. right next to the television. as quickly as i could, i moved the entire TV out of the way to the other side of the room, and alerted my dad to come down to try and seal it. but he said it was a small flood and that i shouldn't worry. as i was worrying all night until 2:00 AM or so, nothing really happened. it was a slow flood as he was right all along. he sucked up the remaining water from that night the next day. and that was the end of the first flood.

The thunderstorm, still going, i was worried that the window would leak again that night. to which my worries were correct. it leaked well i was watching High School Musical 2 with my brother and sister in the basement. but this time, it wasn't just a weak flood. about 30 minutes later, it reached up to the point it hit last week. where it only got a little of the carpet wet. and about 3 hours later, it almost covering the entire room, it reached the furniture and almost reached the TV. but after the last minute i finally found my dad again and told him about it. this flood, however, put up a fight. unlike the previous flood from last week, it was much much worse. at about 12:00 AM it was non stop water sucking for my dad. emptying the water inside the water sucking machine, and sucking the water up again. he did this up until 1:00 AM in which the flood finally slowed down. the next day there was no school for me because of the floods during that week. but the flood continued in the morning in my house when i woke up. and it was about the normal speed of last weeks flood again, not as worse as the day before. it continued up until 3:00 PM or so, when it finally slowed down. and that was the end of the second flood.
