One Canton resident said he was worried when the rainfall started because his backyard was submerged in water.

"It was ... maybe 6:30 (p.m.), it was calm. Nothing had come yet, and then everything came within an instant," said Jeremy Mallia. "Our sump was working overtime to keep all of the water from the basement."
