Monday's rains brought with it some amazing pictures of flooding across Fort Worth.
While some areas are no stranger to the extreme flash floods, one community says the rising waters are getting worse.
The clean up continued on Pershing Avenue on Tuesday, a day after a flash flood buckled the West Arlington Heights Neighborhood street in some spots.
It's a flood scene caught on camera by Brent Hyder.
"I was shocked, shocked," he said. "Just a few minutes of the rain and there were rivers, just pouring down these streets."
Hyder captured the flooding at Penticost at Pershing Avenues, at Penticost and Birchman and Eldridge and Calmont. All three videos show a wide range of heavy flood waters.
While for years just one or two homes dealt with minor flooding, nearly a dozen residents say the flood waters are now impacting them and getting more severe. Teri Kramer says the first problems appeared in late June. The worst of the flooding wasn't Monday but in early September when her basement flooded.
The neighborhood is now working to document every flooding occurrence, both in written word and through pictures and videos posted to a Facebook page the neighborhood created. It's all to show the city the problem and document the damage.
"Fences knocked down, water in the house, water in the basements," Kramer said.
On Tuesday Kramer showed NBC 5 a repaired storm drain behind her property in an alley and a new inlet built where the alley starts near Penticost.
"We just can't turn into a lake every time we have a rain like this," she said.
Some in the neighborhood speculate that new homes on once vacant parcels of land could be part of the reason why the water is getting worse, but the city can't say for sure if the water is or not. However, the storm water department does say it believes what residents are seeing and is asking them to thoroughly document each problem.
Residents like Hyder, a developer, are worried that new developments on vacant land could make the problem of flooding even worse.
"There's so much more paving and so the water it seems like it runs off faster and doesn't get absorbed into the land," Hyder said.
Storm water division director Greg Simmons says the drainage system in the West Arlington Heights neighborhood is similar to the Central Arlington Heights area, where there was significant flooding on Monday. In both areas the drainage system is simply undersized.
The city says there isn't a real cost effective way to prevent the flooding from happening. Water retention sites, like the one going up on Bryce Avenue starting next week, might help some, but they would need to be large. In addition to the engineering feats, the budget is tight with an estimated $1 billion in storm water needs across the entire city.
Simmons is aware of the problem, having visited on Monday after the flood, and says he feels for the residents that are impacted.
Kramer says the city has been helpful and a good partner, but she and her neighbors still want something to be done.
