CBS 42 Chief Meteorologist Ashely Gann sent the photos in above of the area surrounding her house. Safe to say she had to sleep at the station Wednesday night.
Birmingham Fire and Rescue made a total of 16 water rescues throughout the flooding event.
One of those rescues came after two vehicles attempted to cross a flooded roadway at 15th Avenue and 18th Street. Police arrived on scene prior to fire and rescue and went underwater to retrieve an unresponsive female from one of the vehicles. When fire and rescue arrived, they performed CPR and revived the woman.
Flooding made driving difficult Wednesday night as many roads looked like 13th Street in Ensley, as seen above.
