Flood at my apartment complex

This was a strange weather event. A thunderstorm formed over central Madison and inched southeast. It poured at my apartment for approximately 2 hours straight. After the storm ended, this was the scene in our parking lot. Dumpsters were floating around the parking lot because the water was so deep. This man was standing in water up to his thighs (a few feet to the right) trying to put the dumpster back in it's place. Madison didn't report any rain - the observation is taken at the airport (on the northeast side). Date: July 25, 1999.
