The news of the flood had reached the people. Everyone flocked to the Zayandeh Rud to watch it. A strange mass of people had formed all along the river. The area around the Si-o-Se Pol and Khaju bridge was the most crowded.
People had come to see the roar and rebellion of the river. Waves reached up to the middle of the Khaju bridge and fell down the other side with a thunderous sound. The water had risen up to one meter and had even leaked into the city in some places. The flooding was so interesting and unprecedented that Malekoshoara (Poet Laureate) Bahar composed a poem describing it.
