Office windows exploded, cars careened into trees and bobbed in the churning brown water like corks. The deluge washed away bridges and sidewalks; people desperately clung to power poles to survive. Before it was over, the flash flood left at least 10 dead and 78 missing.
'The water was literally leaping, six or 10 feet into the air, through creeks and over bridges and into parks,' Kowald, a 53-year-old musician, told The Associated Press on Tuesday. 'There was nowhere to escape, even if there had been warnings. There was just a sea of water about a kilometer (half a mile) wide.'"
