[Cardinal Boulevard looking west from Floyd Street, Louisville, Kentucky, August 4, 2009 flood.] (View from the east side of the viaduct over Cardinal Boulevard. Water covers the area up to the bottom of a road sign instructing people "Caution Do Not Enter When Flooded." The University of Louisville College of Education and Human Development can be seen in the background. Photograph was taken in the early afternoon.) (Photographer Comments: On Tuesday August 4, 2009, I was working in the Education building with my co-workers. We thought maybe the underpass would flood but we thought that would be the only thing to flood. Boy, were we wrong. We watched from the ERTC our cars on Brook Street vanish under water. We also watched water shooting 5-7 feet in the air from a manhole cover on Cardinal Blvd. We also watched water pour over the loading zone wall. It looked like a waterfall. The pictures I gave you on a CD were taken a few hours and days after the flood. I did give you pictures of my new car. The water covered the hood on my car. Three friends and I lost our cars that day. Three of us had brand new cars (1 only a few months).) 2009-08-04 ULUA-Beswick-DSC02159 August 2009 Flood Collection University of Louisville Floods--Kentucky--Louisville; Floods; Streets; Lawns; Bridges; Signs (Notices) Beswick, Jennifer http://kdl.kyvl.org/cgi/f/findaid/findaid-idx?c=kyead;idno=uluaflood2009 http://name.kdl.kyvl.org/ULUA-Beswick-DSC02159 /flood&CISOPTR=247 This digital resource may be freely searched and displayed.
