If you tune to Channel 9, you'll see they are in the middle of rescuing a woman who was down in the Deep Fork drainage channel right where it crosses under I-44 and the frontage road, just to the west of Penn.
My house backs up to that channel and it's about 15' deep and on typical days, there is just a trickle of water. But when we get these thunderstorms, it becomes like white water rapids nearing the top and flowing at a very rapid rate.
I've seen a washer get swept away and it's one of many areas where the homeless camp.
I believe a homeless person was killed a few years ago due to the raging water, which can come up very fast.
