It quickly made a lake out of Southeastern and Prospect. Cars generated waves twice their size as they crashed through the flooded roadway.
Then under the old railroad overpass near Southeastern and Sherman, there was danger. A car seemed to sink in the water underneath the overpass. After sitting on the back of the car, the driver walked to dry land as passersby slowed to see if they could help.
Once Haley Steele drove her SUV into the water, she was in trouble.
"I just drove through it in my car, stopped, and then it started swerving or whatever and water just filling up. So I had to kick my door and get out and swim away," she said. "I had to kick it and kick it hard. The current is coming this way. Thank God I didn't have my daughter in the car, she's only one-and-a-half. She would've freaked out. I would've freaked out."
She was eventually able to make it to safety and reach out for help.
