Not the usual.
The big rainstorm "massively flooded" the Whole Foods on University Avenue, or so I was told by the people who said they were store employees, as I stared at the shopping carts full of sodden merchandise. The store was closed and will be closed for days, they said.
I circled around to try to get back home, avoiding left turns on University Avenue, where all the traffic lights were set on blinking red. I took a back road and then turned north onto Shorewood Boulevard where it crosses the railroad tracks. On either side of the tracks, the entire foundation under the rails had been washed away, so that sagging (though not broken) track hung over empty space.
Much worse: "The body of the man swept away by floodwaters Monday night has been found in a retention pond on the West Side," the Wisconsin State Journal reports.
"Their car was swept into an embankment, endangering the three passengers inside," the department said in an update Tuesday morning. "Bystanders assisted the three occupants out of the vehicle. Two were pulled to safety, and the third was ripped from the hands of a bystander by a strong current in the floodwaters.... He was driving the car with two passengers, when the car stalled in floodwaters and was carried into a normally-dry drainage ditch," [Madison Police spokesman Joel DeSpain] said.
A passerby saw the car nose down in the culvert, so he went to help those trapped in the car. "The vehicle was quickly filling with water, and water was past the windows," DeSpain said. "The driver told the man he couldn't open his door." A rear door was able to be opened, with two people, a man in his 70s and a woman in her 50s, in the car....
"He had gotten out of the car, but the current was very powerful," DeSpain said. "Despite heroic efforts, they were unable to keep him from being sucked under the car."
