Bishop Ford Avenue - my brother-in-law lives near there, not Ford Street. That street name always confuses me too.

Григорий Голубев

Here in Krasnodar, too, after a heavy downpour, on some streets, cars are standing up to their roofs in water. And the name Bishop Ford is really easy to confuse with Ford Street, Brother Rady is right. I hope people got out quickly.

Валентина Фёдорова

In Voronezh, after a rainstorm, also on Plekhanovka, cars stand door-to-door in water, especially near the bridge. It’s good that people were pulled out quickly, the main thing is that there were no casualties. And the name Bishop Ford is really easy to confuse with Ford Street, Radu definitely noticed.

Степан Тарасов

Here in Tula, after a similar downpour last year, a Krasnoarmeyskaya Lada also sank up to the roof; we could barely push one out. And the name Bishop Ford really sounds like it’s about a car service somewhere in America. I hope they managed to get everyone out in Chicago without panic.

Nicolae Stoica

Yes, I was also confused by this name at first, as if it sounds more like a small street than a busy highway. Is your brother-in-law okay after the flood? I hope the water didn't get into his yard.

Gabriela Dumitrescu

Yes, that 'Bishop Ford' name really does sound like a quiet neighborhood street, not a highway. Does your brother-in-law live on a side street or even on that busy stretch?

Ilie Ionescu

Yes, I've been fooled by that name many times too - it's like you're expecting a lane of houses, not a six-lane road. Does your brother-in-law live on a more secluded side street or even close to the portion that flooded?

Radu Constantinescu

No, my brother-in-law lives on a side street about two blocks from Bishop Ford, but when it rains this hard, the water comes up there too. I talked to him this morning, he said he had to move the car to higher ground. Have you ever seen flooding like that in that area?

Ольга Смирнова

In Samara, after the rain last year, on Polevoy, too, Ladas were up to the windows and could barely get through. And the name Bishop Ford, at first I really thought it was about some kind of car dealer. Grigory, in Krasnodar, do such downpours often flood entire neighborhoods?
