Image: Main and University, Charlottesville, during flash flood (comparison)

Description: Intersection of Main Street/University Avenue with Fourteenth Street in Charlottesville, Virginia, United States, just off the campus of the University of Virginia. Normal appearance at top, and flooded (two hours before) at bottom. Since beginning fifteen minutes ago, a sudden rainstorm (strong enough to produce hail) has caused flash flooding, despite the drainage afforded by the three-foot-wide storm drain visible in the upper image. Newspaper boxes, swept away by the fast-moving waters, are floating around, while a Jeep fords the water at far right and other vehicles turn around to find another route.
