Flash flooding conditions quickly developed during the mid morning hours with basements flooding, and roads becoming flooding causing cars to become stranded. A commercial building was flooded because the water got so high in the street that passing vehicles created waves.

2,964 words on record

When this property was proposed for the National Register, someone wrote the case for it: what the building is, and why it matters. That document is a federal record in the public domain. It is quoted below word for word, never summarised. The text was read off the scanned case file by machine, so the occasional stray character is the recogniser's and the 1970s typewriter's.
