The first time using this tent, it went through two thunderstorms with no problems. We could feel water actually running under the tent, so much that it bubbled the floor, but nothing got inside. We had a tarp under part of it, but our tarp wasnt big enough for this new tent, and even in the parts the tarp didnt cover we didnt have any water get in. The screen porch did get a bit muddy in the first storm, and we hadnt thought to bring a broom or anything so it was a little difficult to clean. For the second storm, we rolled the floor of the screened part under its overhang so it wouldnt get as wet or muddy. The tent itself is spacious enough that four adults easily fit inside and could play board games while hiding from the rain. Even with a queen size air mattress, plenty of room to move around. But really, I was very impressed with the ability to weather two severe storms!
