Hurricane Debby - flooding rain threat region wide

I checked my garage for the 1st time since the rain ended on Wednesday and noticed I have standing water in a small portion of my garage (along a wall) and that doors to a storage room on that side are wrinkled on the bottom despite the water having receded where they are. (see pic below) Also, cardboard boxes for things I’ve stored in there for years are damp up 6”.

 As stated earlier, I got 10.9” from Debby over a 3 day period.

 I think I figured out why my garage flooded from the very heavy Debby rains: part of my garage door bottom seal had become brittle and thus let in water! It wasn’t torn or out of place. Nothing obvious. Can you believe that something so subtle as that can lead to a partially flooded garage? Something I never in my life ever even thought about. You learn something new every day.
