It was a dirty rain. Heavy drops loosened the soil, washing it over sidewalks and into the streets. The receding waters left behind slicks of muck and coalesced into brown puddles whose sediment refused to settle. The hasty fill over the sewer lines on Arthur Avenue was badly scoured out in places and sections of the parkway were flooded with runoff which had no drains to flow into.
