CLEVELAND — A crowd gathered at East 38th Street and Lakeside Avenue this morning. Police and flooded roads kept them from getting to get to work.
Holly Brennan, 23, of Concord Township, is an event planner at Marigold Cafe & Catering. She tried walking across the flooded street and made it only two steps before being forced back.
"I think it's pretty crazy," she said. "It's really making our day pretty behind. We had several events today. We are definitely behind. I'm worried about it. We need food to be delivered in about a half hour."
She had seen a television broadcast about the break, but "I had no idea it would be this bad," she said. "It's very cold and its deep."

just so everyone knows, the follow-up to this story is that we did in fact get all of the food out to our events thanks to a lot of hard work from joan, holly, roseann, mike, gary, and our drivers: brandon, wyatt, allen, and james and everyone lived happily ever after. joan finally made it back to her car somewhere in cleveland. roseann was appointed to head up FEMA by the new administration, mike and gary were signed to a two-man cooking show on wadsworth's public access channel, holly ended up marrying the second fire fighter from the left in the above picture, and the drivers will be working on the next season of discovery channel's storm chasers.
