Flooding in Franklin!!!

It started raining on Friday evening (after a week of severe storms, including a tornado) and then we started our weekend with a FLOOD! Here are some pictures from around Franklin, Indiana today...
This is the retention pond behind our house! The thing you
see in the middle is the electrical box which turns the
fountain (which shorted out mid-morning) on and off.
This is a Ford dealership about 1 mile down US 31 from us.
They had to remove all the cars/trucks from the
front of the property to avoid them floating away.
This is the bowling alley about another
mile down the road from the car dealership.
This is the result of 10 inches of rain falling in 24 hours!
The park (that is to the left of this road) has a creek that floods easily...
however this time it is a little more substantial.
There is a subdivision that is very flooded to the right of this road.
(This is US 31 headed south of State Road 144)
Now...this is going north on US 31 from our house!
WATER IS EVERYWHERE!
