How wet is too wet?

Today we went for a walk down the street to see the damage of the
rain.  Some of the shops had pipes poking out from the doors. It was to get
the water from the carpet and put it out in to the street. Zack's mum's shop
got lots of water in it down the back.  It was like three centimetres of
water in the bank.  The posters were all wet in the real estate shop.  There
was a bad smell. It smelt like expired milk And it smelt like my brothers room.
It was probably the mostly damaged shop.  They had a pumper to pump the water out of the shop and into the street.  We were allowed  to bring our iPods and iPads to take photos.
