Downpour floods streets and disrupts city services
A heavy downpour marooned cars on Liberty Avenue near Harvard, overwhelmed storm sewers, and flooded Solomons Department Store basement at 1299 Liberty. Water rushed from drains near Ramsey Avenue, Route 29, and Hillside Avenue, while power lines sparked and traffic was rerouted. The Elizabeth River overflow drew spectators as police, fire and road crews worked. Eight-year-old Steven Zalepka was treated for a scalp laceration after a fall while roller skating home Tuesday.
