PULLMAN – The flooding in Pullman resulted in a storm of information and questions over social media.
Pullman Police first broke the news of water on Grand Ave. on Twitter at 6:43 PM, and asked that people avoid the area. WSU Alerts quickly followed warning of debris and standing water for people driving to campus the next morning.
Matt Haugen from WSU News captured a video of a man being rescued from a building on a bulldozer, and Pullman Police posted drone footage showing the extent to which the flood covered the road. The following morning, Pullman Police shared a picture of a kind-hearted citizen who brought in donuts recognizing the long night of hard work.
Some people in the Pullman area do not know how to slow down as a Facebook event surfaced encouraging people to float down Grand Ave. Ryan Ferrell, a WSU student created the event.
“To make a good time out of a bad time, I mean there’s really no better life story than that,” Ferrell said
Some others also had fun with the flood on social media such as, someone trying to sell water on WSU Free and for Sale and someone suggesting that people drive down to check everything out.
Murrow News 8 would like to remind everyone to have fun but be safe, and do not cross police lines and listen to authorities as the situation may be extremely dangerous.
