The image depicts a flooded Ruggles Street with several individuals wading through the water. A small boat is being used, maneuvered by one of the individuals in the water. Buildings line the street, including one with signage that reads "Junk Store." A man is perched on a lamppost, likely for better viewing or safety from the floodwaters. People are scattered throughout the scene, observing or navigating the flood.
