Flooded district streets draw crowds as water rises
In a Venice like flood, residents and workers wade through 2 3 feet of water across Eliot Lagrange and Tremont streets. Spectators cheer a bare footed rescuer and a taxi driver warns of tanky water. Fire and store employees improvise embankments while volunteers help. Losses reach 376000 with many basements and stock damaged.
