Water was rushing down the stairs of Pinball Pete's, 1214 S. University. Water had started to take out part of wall, a representative from Oxford Companies, which owns the property, told an Ann Arbor News photographer on scene.

At least one wall was badly damaged by the water and at least two inches of water covered the floor. The water rushing into the building had slowed by 6:30 p.m. and the sidewalk was beginning to buckle. There could be further issues with the roadway as well.

Nearby businesses, from Pancheros to Kaplan Test Prep center, were being evacuated.
