Not very uncommon in the area where I live. I know there is a corner I take almost every day where a puddle forms in torrential rain that is EASILY 5+ Inches every time.
This was Miami beach a few months back after a day of rain.

Obviously that was an extreme case, but it happens here often and sometimes I have no option but to go over it or completely stop traffic.
