"We came from our dorm room, which is about 15 minutes away, and we thought that the rain had slowed down so we were like, No, we can just stick it out and walk, but it's pouring," says Grimes. Ditches near Robinson and 48th were also filled with water. Trucks and cars in the area were seen trying to drive through massive waves. Students on campus tell News 4 they're trying to stay dry and get to where they need to be. "It's the first time of the year that it's been bad here," says Hieronymus.
