Our house got pretty lucky, only minimal water in the basement, but a lot of stuff was being stored in cardboard boxes directly on the floor. i had some stuff i still have kept aside for a future halo fundraiser drive and luckily it was in plastic containers up on some shelves instead. Only time the basement ever got flooded, it was a storm that dumped like 8" of rain on Nebraska in one night.
Lots of other people had it worse in town, they had to get people out with boats from their houses.
oh, and our neighbor's front retaining wall collapsed
