Hmm, fair enough. Now that's it's explained clearly, it certainly sounds more plausible, given the rain water would have "trickled" and "seeped" into the basement. Just one thing troubles me...

The statement explicitly states "flooding", which was what got me confused in the first place. Now, it's been retracted down into "large puddle" and then up slightly to "Small pond" which was "easily mop-able". Also, I measured a couple inches with my ruler off a flat floor, and I'm assuming it was a couple inches throughout the basement floor. A couple inches still looks fairly high to just mop up. I measured up to 4 inches, and that's very high, ankle height actually. Even dropping down to 3 inches is a fair amount of water, both in depth and in size. For reference for my co-members:

___________________________________________________ About 4 Inches
______________________________________ About 3 Inches

Now imagine that vertically. For me, that's plenty amount of water.

The use of three different words to describe the same thing troubles me slightly. Not irreparably so, but it has damaged my confidence in the statement.

Q1 How long did it take to mop up?


Q2 How heavy was the rain? Be as descriptive as possible
