Streets were clear and traffic was flowing in Orrville Friday, a big difference from what the town looked like Thursday night when flooding started.Around 7 p.m., rain started falling in the area. Two hours later, Orrville Fire and Rescue received calls for rescue. 'We did about 12 rescues of people that were stranded,' Orrville Fire Chief Chris Bishop said. 'We had people stranded in cars, an elevator rescue. Then, we had a couple of collapses.
'It just came down.' Orrville local Adam Brooks said it was a shock to him. A few inches of water in the basement quickly turned into a few feet. 'The window just broke open and then it was like a literal waterfall into our basement,' he said. 'We've got a line of debris on the wall and we measured 34 inches.' News 5 caught up with Brooks as he was cleaning up. He was deciding what could stay and what should go while getting pictures for the insurance company.
