Rescue 9, go ahead. Alright, Heavy Rescue 9, we're going to send you 3100 block of Highland Drive between Durham Ed and Highland Avenue. This appears to be someone stuck in a vehicle, and the vehicle is flooding. That's clear. We're kind of tied in with the 14s. We got a pretty bad run here on Madison. So, I'll let you know when we're clear of this. Okay, I'll go ahead and put you on that run.

@Scoopster333, your reports are fascinating. Why haven't they blocked off this stretch of flooded roadway to prevent more vehicles from driving through then getting stuck??

Why did they drive thru flooded waters??

That area always floods after heavy rain. Rode through a few months back and it looked like water was pouring from under that train trestle.
