The far NW corner was mostly minor sewage backup, and not all homes were impacted.
edit:
This is from my experience driving around this past Sunday, and talking to people in the area, finding people to help. The southern end of that red box is roughly where I think the water reached, judging by what people were saying and the damage I personally saw.
Everything else I saw was hit hard. The deep SE portion was only hit by sewage backup as well - roughly the blue box (again my guess from talking to people) but there was a distinctly larger amount of poop smell in those basements compared to the NW portion. The area directly NW (roughly the orange box) is still almost entirely underwater - probably even further north than what I have drawn.
The 2 brown areas were the worst hit that I saw. The lower one is mostly residential, and there was deep mud still on peoples lawns. I never got into a basement in this area, but talked with a few people. The northern one is not densely populated, but that is where the train tracks were totally decimated. I am sure the pictures have been posted previously
