What had begun as a evening for
vacation preparation quickly turned
into one of the worst floods I've
ever experienced!
With a few strikes of lightning and
instantaneous crashes of thunder,
the heavens opened.
Fire alarms, set off by the repeated
electrical outages, filled the interior
of the apartment with as much noise
as nature was providing outside.
Finally, I decided to check other parts
of the the building to see what was
going on...
Slowly the water began to subside.
It was just more than our storm
drains could take in such a short time.
The guys below are removing
debris the the storm drains on the
corners of Bank and Frankfort.
Once the drains were unplugged,the water began whirling down
the openings.
Our pool suffered a good bit of
damage. The winds had blown
much of the furniture into the pool,
and the mulch from the landscaping
found its way into the blue waters,
transforming the crystal clear liquid
into a mud bog.
Nationwide Children's Hospital
also had record flooding. Many of
our building took on tons of water.
Fans can be seen trying to dry the
floors of the Outpatient Care Clinic
below, while custodial crew
attempted to repair elevators that
the water drained into.
