Storm Floods Homeowner's Basement in 2 Feet of Water

As rain and hail pounded a Utah family's home, Whitney Redd decided to check the basement of her in-laws' apartment. She found the basement drenched in water. Redd, along with her husband and son, made a mad scramble to clear electronic equipment out of the way. Suddenly, the window gave in and more water poured into the apartment. Property damage aside, Redd's thankful no one got hurt.

Should have put a proper storm window down there. Just because you’re in an area not normally prone to flooding doesn’t mean you don’t need proper storm windows in your basement.

Replace the vinyl window with an aluminum tilt and turn window. We have a house in California where the outside of the basement got filled with water and those European tilt and turn windows didn’t even leak one droplet. It’s amazing!

My guy really was worried about the keyboard stand instead of the *ELECTRONIC* headphones on the desk next to the window.

15 grand? LOL
It's going to cost a lot more than that.

Who designed their house so that water is able to build up in front of a basement window?

Basement filled with water? That's gotta be the work of the Wet Bandits

That's the scenario in our house in the Philippines everytime there's a typhoon, high tide and strong winds all at the same time. For the longest time we don't buy furnitures and appliances as it will only destroy. Glad no one hurt in your family.

Good thing you got all the electronic devices out of the way.

This is literally everyone’s worst nightmare. I hate hearing news reports about these I really do cause these things can be so traumatic to families and it makes one’s heart sink immediately. I try to see the humour and funny side of it though, love what the home owner says at the end of this between 1:20 - 1:25 Niagara Falls bless her. 🌊😂

What caught my eye was the saint there on the other side of the desk. I do feel bad to see this, now on days is not as easy replacing all your electronics and stuff, yes material is replaceable, life is not, but still it will hurt then financially. I al glad everyone is okay. God bless this family . May God multiply what Mother Nature took in blessings🙏🏻✨God works in amazing ways!!✨🥰

Water: I CAME IN LIKE A WRECKING BALL


Glad everybody was safe and nobody got hurt

Aside from the damage and hassle…. That was pretty darn cool!!

[brolymeng]

Despite the terrifying experience she managed to crake a joke😂

[haleycactus]

it was a pretty bad storm! there were leaves flying everywhere, couldn't see the mountains at all, biggest pieces of hail i've ever seen! we had at least a few inches of water on our front porch

[bigguy]

Reminds me back during Ida when the torrential downpour floods broke through the basement door from the outside to the inside

At least no one in the family got hurt.
