Yes, I remember the one time the f-i-l's bungalow was flooded. There was no warning and they weren't near any rivers or other waterways - or on much of a noticeable hill. I think just so much rain fell in such a short time that the drains couldn't cope, and the water just went across his front garden, under the front door into the house, and down the sideway. It was over fairly quickly but caused a fair bit of damage.
