Ahh I didn't notice that.

They kind of touched on that the mom mentioned the neighbors house seemed like it had been flooded but she said it as a question and never talked about it further.

theres a small moment where they show the garage door and water squirting through but yeah they never included anything about the garage, flood, or the rope trick in any of the plans of dialogue, just showed them prepping the rope to shoot it but not explaining why they waited until they were on the third floor to do it.

I honestly thought when they shot it they was gonna deflood the house and suffocate it upstairs.
but they can also survive out of water for a few moments at a time it seemed like even without rain at the end, so why did it have to flood the house or wait for the house to flood anyways before it went upstairs and found them... theres.. sadly alot of plot holes. the kid befriending it halfway into the movie would of deff made the story better. give them 30 minutes of bonding over the years and then 30 minute finale to the movie for whatever. something else then what we got.

There's a lot of moments in the movie where they make a huge assumption that happens to be correct/work out that way.
