1715 Rain has been falling in excessive amounts for hours. All low lying areas and streets are heavily flooded and nearly impassable in some areas.
1720 Dispatched to Hector Park in reference to an elderly female driver of a Mini-Cooper that had driven the wrong way on SE 11 Street and a school bus that was stopped in the roadway due to flooded street. The elderly driver refused to back up her car or move her car for fear of flooding it out and the bus driver refused to back to due to her employer’s policy of unsafe backing practices.
I provided a few minutes of intellectual reasoning with the elderly lady and the bus driver a compromise was reached which prevented the world from coming off of it’s axis. Both vehicles were able to safely pass without incident despite the driver’s best efforts to prevent it from happening.
