I feel for ya Zeke. We have a flat roof over our family room. In one of the El Nino years we had a water fall on what was the outside wall which is now an inside wall. Luckily we had installed bathroom water proof wall paper on it so it just sheeted down the wall and puddled on the floor.
We had the whole roof replaced that summer for like $10k if I recall, maybe more.
We recently had the flat roof coated with that white elastomer stuff. It cooled that room down in the summer and it's pretty cold now in the winter time since the sun is reflected so well. NO water though!
We had gutters installed last month since the backyard flooded to almost too deep levels from all the runoff from the house. The whole back of the house is now guttered to run off to the sides. It helps a lot.
I totaled up the rain fall pictures I've taken of our rain gauge after each rain for the season.
So far we're at 17.00". We have another .5" from this storm though so that total will be going up.
