Description
Valorie McGee opened her front door to a frustrating scene Tuesday night: Water pooling on her property, flooding her garage, and rising dangerously close to entering her home.
McGee blames the city for this repeating problem. She says a drainage channel up the street combines with water flowing down the road, creating a river that jumps the curb by her home – flooding her property.
Knowing it was coming, McGee put sandbags on the sidewalk, but the force of the water easily pushed them away.
“It's just a mess,” she said with frustration in her voice. “Everything in my garage - like clothes, shoes, name it - it's all trashed.”
