Dallas Symphony violinist Lydia Umlauf was reading in bed Monday night when the flash flood hit.

Within minutes, her apartment was under four feet of water.

She swam to safety through a window, throwing her violin to neighbours on an upper floor. All her other possessions are destroyed. The insurance will not cover her loss.

Friends have started a GoFundMe.

When Slippedisc frst published this report it was on $17,000. In 24 hours it has reached $31k.
