Thank first responders · 1 person

scary!! all these incidents here and there involving ppl trapped by or in flooding reminds me of the terrible tragedy of 1986 when Saxonburg Blvd flooded and I think about 5 or 6 ppl were trapped in their cars and killed. one of them was the beloved wife of a good friend. At the time their 3 kids were very young. very rough and heartbreaking.

Where was this tragedy located on Saxonburg Blvd❓

the very bottom near Etna. One of my friend's father was one of the deceased. He was on his way home from work.
