FREMONT Most city streets here are flooded after three inches of rain fell between 3:30 and 4:30 p.m., police said.

Pavement at Fulton and Wood streets has been washed away, and Norfolk Southern, which has a crossing there, has been warned not to send trains through that area.

So many streets are closed that authorities have run out of barricades, a police dispatcher said.
