The 20 inches of rain have turned interstate highways into veritable rivers, submerged neighborhoods and broken dams. Power outages have affected 36,000 homes. Thankfully, the casualties haven't been as ubiquitous as the damage. The flood has been ongoing for two days, and so far eleven deaths have been confirmed.

Check out these videos and photos that YouTube and Twitter users have shared from their experiences. You'll see some eye-opening images of damage to buildings, cars and roads. As was the case with earthquakes and other disasters in the past, social media has provided the quickest and most elaborate picture of the situation at ground level.
