Residents say something was blocking drainage but the city points to historic rainfall as the culprit
“It don’t do any good to cry. We just try to keep things positive,” said Delores Lopez, whose family lost most of their belongings, including two vehicles, appliances and furniture to water damage. “Something was closed, but then when it was opened the water went fast,” said Gloria Alvarez, a longtime resident of the street.
For some living on the street, history seems to be repeating itself. Not only is the area prone to flooding - residents have previously sued the government over flood damage as well. With the historic rainfall that deluged the city that night, it’s unclear whether any level of flooding could have been prevented. The area has a history of flooding, something the city hopes the construction of the Mill Creek Drainage Tunnel nearby will help alleviate, said city spokesperson Jennifer Brown.
