Before the July 21-22 1999 rain and subsequent flooding, trucks filled with sandbags were a common sight for several days. Later trucks filled with used sandbags and refuse were constantly heading to the landfill and recycling center. On the evening of the evacuation, Bremer Ave. was bumper to bumper as people left and many also tried to help friends or relatives take household goods to safe areas.
