Aftermath: 55th/Roxwood and Cypress
The ditch here drains down past Pennsylvania to the Empson Ditch. Roxwood to the left there was a running river, as was 55th out of view to the right. Cypress to the extreme left was feeding more water in from Brooklawn and Crescent.
I got as far as Pennsylvania and 55th Thursday night by car, then parked and waded/walked in the rest of the way to rescue a dog, two cats, and finally to check on another cat. I avoided trying to wade across this particular hole. :)
Multiple friends on Crescent, Brooklawn, Laurel, and McIntire had crawlspace or basement flooding.
I think we got off easy compared to what hit the hills and further north/east. Kudos to the flood control engineers.
