DALLAS — Lydia Umlauf, a violinist in the Dallas Symphony Orchestra, was reading in bed at 2 a.m. Monday when she saw water gushing under the door of her loft apartment in southern Dallas, by Fair Park.
She tried opening the door, but it wouldn’t budge, blocked by the rushing water.
She then stashed her iPad and computer in a bag and grabbed her violin, which she called “the most important thing.”
