Another Kettering resident, Chris Brenner, said the water was also up to the white part of the fire hydrant. “We’ve lived here 27 years and never seen it,” said Brenner, who thinks the drains clogged up due to a whirlpool of water in the middle of the road. He said even after the rain stopped, it kept rising, getting into his yard and his basement.
Another Kettering woman, Christina Cole, was disappointed about her car being damaged. As cars were driving by her car, the waves from the water raised her car onto the curb - which is what caused the damage to her car. "The water was up to my knee, and the inside of my car is flooded," Cole said.
