Quote: when roofing debris (foam and tarpaper) from structures to the east (the length of 2 football fields away) covered 3 of the 4 storm drains at the intersection near the house (front yard had water depth of 2' before I cleared the storm drains after sunrise.
This happens a lot. I've experienced it several times in three different neighborhoods where I've lived. During Wilma my quick thinking neighbor got in their large truck and kept driving back and forth over the drain in an effort to move things around so the water would keep flowing. Personally I've raked leaves out of the drain during tropical storms in-between heavy rain bands. The force and weight of the water will completely seal off a drain once debris get packed on top of it.
