Lifelong resident Jason Miles' home was one of that was flooded.

Bradford Street and Brady Avenue where his home sits became a lake instantly during the storm after taking on several feet of water.
The home is in a flood zone so he and his family are used to this but it never gets easier.
"It doesn't take much," said Miles.
