Ah yes Allison. Didn’t think it would ever quit raining. Problem was all of the rain that fell inside the 610 Loop which acted as a huge bowl. After the water subsided, they found 18 wheelers stacked two deep on the freeway on the east side of the city. Everyone knew there were vehicles under the water but no idea how many because everything was submerged.

Water running through our back yard to the street was strong enough to dislodge and move heavy railroad ties used to outline the flower beds down to the street like they were just kindling sticks.

bad memories.

We too began to wonder if the rain would ever quit before everything went under.

The elevator death was hard to imagine.
