    That was a fascinating storm. What the city needs to do, is what our city did by putting huge underground storage tanks down by the lake. Any excess water goes into the tanks. As each one fills, they flip a switch, and all the water goes right to the water pollution control plant. The water is cleaned,then it's released slowly into the lake. Have a great day my friend, and stay safe ❤️🙂⚘️.
