وَغَمَرَتِ الْمِياهُ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ أَلْفَيْ مَنْزِلٍ، وَتَضَرَّرَتْ بُيوتٌ أُخْرَى. وَكانَ ثَلاثَةٌ وَسِتُّونَ شَخْصًا فِي مَراكِزِ الْإِيواءِ يَوْمَ الثُّلَاثاءِ. وَتَعْمَلُ فِرَقُ الْإِنْقاذِ عَلَى نَقْلِ نَحْوِ أَلْفَيْ وَخَمْسِمِائَةِ سَيّارَةٍ تُرِكَتْ فِي الطُّرُقِ بَعْدَ الْفَيْضانِ. وَنَقَلَتِ الْمَدينَةُ نَحْوَ خَمْسِمِائَةِ سَيّارَةٍ خَطِرَةٍ إِلى جانِبِ الطَّريقِ حَتّى صَباحِ الثّامِنَ عَشَرَ مِنْ أُغُسْطُسَ. وَكانَتِ الْمِياهُ قَدْ غَمَرَتِ الشَّوارِعَ أَيْضًا.
