yep - a "Foot" that's 12 inches of rain - from Hurricane Ian in September 2022. we had just replaced a bunch of sod - had gutters installed, and a drainage line to connect to the gutters to divert the rain water to the storm drains on the street - that go into the retention pond in the center of the neighborhood.
EDIT - and believe me, I do know what the people of California are going thru not knowing what and when will happen. Flooding by itself is not fun at all, and can be very costly
