a lot of people woke up in portland this morning and realized just how
much damage water can do to a vehicle. but the flooding
damaged much more than just cars... wmtw news eight's paul merrill joins us live now from portland's park avenue ..
this has been an all-day clean-up effort. things are back to normal after almost two feet of water pooled in this low-lying part of park ave. last
night. this morning, it looked like a parking lot free- for-all here. cars were all over the street. that's because the floodwaters
lifted up parked cars and dropped them all over park ave. it was a field day for tow trucks as dawn broke. last night, 200 people had to be
evacuated from the hotel here because of flooding. today, we caught up with hotel guests whose cars have been ruined. 17:35:36-17:35:49
ray nason/visiting from virginia: "it was too late to move the cars. the water was almost up to the windows already in the cars, so my mother's car is ruined. the rental car i had from
flying into town is ruined. they're towing my mother's car right now." 17:29:22- 17:29:31 jose tobar, jr./visiting from new york: "if you look inside the car, you can
see that there's water in the cup holders in the console, so it was at least that high. the seats are wet to the touch." we spent a good part of our day outside portland.
there were some incredible sights further up the coast. we'll show them to you tonight at six. live in portland, paul merrill, wmtw
