Fitzwater Street Gets Shut Down Too
Just outside Brew River the Police finally arrived and shut down the road because of flooding. Clearly the City of Salisbury cannot handle such heavy rain and I have to tell you, I have never seen the river so high.
AND THE BIG NEWS IS..this has been happening at this intersection for 60 plus years. Way back when there was an Acme Store, a PURE Oil gas station and the original Curley's mens store any time there was a heavy rain that whole area would flood and the street would be closed until the water was able to drain. Check with Pete Cooper or George Chevallier.
I been in every damn one of those row-houses, 20 years ago. All of their old basements probably have at least six feet of water in them now. Could be a perfect time to CONDEM THEM for the betterment of Salisbury and the whole DOWNTOWN area. There water heaters are in the basement could be a gas situation.

It was high tide when the storm hit last night.
I hope it washed the scum off the streets
I wonder if there was a sewage spill into the river? Usually a storm like this will send thousands of gallons of sewage into the river.
