    Heavy rainfall led to multiple neighborhoods in Sheboygan to flood. Including, the area of 10 th Place and Florida Avenue.

    "Hasn't flood like that. It was pretty nuts. You could go through here with a kayak if you wanted to it was pretty crazy,” Sheboygan resident, George Klein.

    George Klein was at his girlfriend's house when the storm started. He said water was coming from everywhere in the basement. They said they had to get at least an inch of water out.

    He said the neighborhood was filled with water.

    "There was probably about three feet of water,” Klein explained.

    He showed TMJ4’s Megan Lee videos of what the front lawn looked like during and after the heavy rainfall. The lawn was drowning in water and his car was practically submerged.

    "Went to go move my car that was like halfway underwater. Had about a foot and a half of water inside my car,” Klein explained.

    Luckily his car started. However, they had another mess on their hands.

    "The basement was bad. It was coming through the walls, the windows. There was probably a couple of inches in the basement down there,” Klein explained.

    Flood restoration trucks filled the area of 10 th and Florida Friday evening. Klein said some of the neighbors had water in their basements too.

    Over on 21st and Wilson, kids danced in the high waters while others were worried about the damage the water would leave behind.

    As Lee drove around the area, much of the water went down by dusk. However, this loading dock near 9th and Washington was completely flooded.
