it's been raining for like 3 days

[Blaupanzer]

I remember gambling in Vegas one time when a flash flood hit from the north. I had been up all night and as morning came I got up from the table and walked around the casino. I neared the front entrance and I looked out to the street and it wasn't there, it was moving. Seriously, a river was flowing down the street right outside the doors to the casino. I could barely see the tops of street signs, the water was over 6-7 ft deep and moving fast. I thought I was hallucinating...

Based on the background explanation, you may well have been hallucinating.

By the way it's the fire next time. No rainstorm will ultimately drown us this time.
