Question about a flooded basement after the storm last Tuesday
I was in my basement in Cincinnati last Tuesday when the heavy rain started, and within an hour I had about 3 inches of water pooling near the washing machine. I ended up using my wet-dry vac for two hours straight to get it all out. Has anyone else had to deal with water coming in from that corner of their house and found a good fix?

That's a lot of water for just an hour of rain. You might have a bigger drainage problem than just that corner. It's worth checking your gutters and the ground slope outside that wall.

@stella_lane mentioned downspouts and honestly I used to think that was overkill but after digging around outside I found my extension was basically dumping water right against the foundation. Moving it 6 feet out made a huge difference for me.
