Heavy rains caused flooding in Pennsylvania on Monday afternoon.

The water almost came up into the second floor, saturating the walls and floors.

He and his wife say the rains washed out a construction site down the street and the debris from that clogged all the drains outside their home.

"When it was raining, it pushed so much dirt and clogs the drain," he said.

Mitchell says he had no idea how dangerous of a situation he was in before he caught in it

"It was devastating, yes, devastating, devastating. I'm just glad that I'm okay," he said.
