Reply to comment by lunar_unit in Can someone please explain what is happening by the flood wall. by Cardolini

I lived across from what was then Tiki Bobs and remember Gaston vividly. I worked up around 14th and was walking back to 18th right as the farmers market was starting to flood. Was probably about 6” high at that point. A couple of us got a few sixers and rode out the storm from 18th and Franklin and at one point saw an 18 wheeler floating down 17th. The water rose all the way up to 18th. We rescued a dog off the top of a car somewhere in there as well. Was a wild time.

I rode that storm out on the 4th floor of my friend's apartment at 21st and Cary. Water was rising up to the driver's windows of cars parked down by 18th and I vividly remember the bottoms up dumpster floating down the street.
