| #2 True and kind of embarrassing that an unwary driver can be drowned within city limits in one of the deeper low-water crossing areas. Our rain gauge registered more than 6 and a half inches overnight, one of our neighbors reported 7 inches. In the October 1998 floods, one fatality the driver of a pickup truck swept off the Basse St offramp on the 281 right by the newest and ritziest shopping center in town, the Quarry. |
