Muncie Sanitary District says flooding just part of their day

As Muncie slowly fills with water, Wiley Flak and Randy Wright of the Muncie Sanitary District, carefully drive their truck through the streets to help residents. They walk past the wound-up hoses and equipment on their truck to grab two rakes and begin wading to where they assume the sidewalk is, scraping the build up out of the storm drains.
