Can anyone tell me why there is a firetruck at 9th and Coles right now? Just wondering. Does it have to do with flooding, or...

I'm concerned because the house where I'm babysitting has sprung a leak. Wish I could go home and see if my house is still sealed! What a storm.

5th and Monmouth starting to flood now. :(

I thought one of the main problems was that the rain water mixes with the sewage and that we don't have a separate drainage system.

Ditto on Marin and Grand.... I held my breath as I drove through it. Really surprised I didn't stall out.

Does this kind of rain usually cause problems with the sewars? I live in a basement apartment, and just a few months ago our bathrooms flooded with sewage after a main line backed up. It was horrific. I don't know what I'd do if it happened again...

Drove through Grand and Marin intersection about an hour ago - water was above my wheels! Warren was a river from above Columbus down to Montgomery.

1st and Colgate has reached the saturation point. The last time this happened the city was a mess. This is not good. Has the city done anything since the "100 year flood" a few years ago? I guess 100 year floods now occur every three years or so.

Marin along the A&P Plaza was crazy flooded earlier. Wonder if that caused some chaos in the Holland Tunnel.

Can only imagine that the Turnpike on ramp off of Columbus is probably wrecked... I learned the hard way (and stupid way) that its NOT passable when flooded... though miraculously my car came through it unharmed.

ETA: There has also been a TON of sirens... pretty steadily for about an hour or two (I live near the Medical Center)... not sure if its flood related (accidents, etc)... seems to finally have calmed down.

Flooding everywhere.. walking down Grove looks Taqueria is under a foot of water.. basements flooding.. ugh...
