Update: Metro released its own time-lapse videos of last night’s flooding. “The water quickly rose over the curb and into the station,” the description says in part.

Here’s one showing the view from the mezzanine:

Original: The National Weather Service issued a flash flood warning for last night, and boy, were they onto something. We’ve been so worried about Metro fires that we hadn’t given much thought to all of the other elements that could befall our troubled transportation system.

Last night’s rain wreaked havoc on Cleveland Park Metro. Flooding in the escalator and stairwell prompted trains to bypass the station, which reopened as normal this morning.

And it wasn’t just the Metro station.

Today, though, looks like things are back to normal in Cleveland Park.
