(Flooding in Mount Adams)

UNFORTUNATE NEWS FOR A YOUNG FAMILY AFFECTED BY THE HEAVY STORMS YESTERDAY AFTERNOON.

14-21: It’s honestly very devastating because I have never experienced something this bad before you know.

BRIANA DELMORAL HAS RECENTLY MOVED TO CINCINNATI FROM FLORIDA WITH HER 5 KIDS.

WHAT SHE DIDN’T KNOW IS HOW A STORM LIKE THIS WOULD DO SO MUCH DAMAGE.

:51-06 When we came home, luckily, we weren’t home when this happened, this whole backyard looked like a lake. Cars were swimming, they were floating around moving and this was all covered in water completely.

BRIANA’S BASEMENT WHERE SHE, HER ONE-YEAR-OLD AND HER 3-YEAR-OLD ONCE SLEPT WAS COMPLETELY DESTROYED.

JIM HUDSON HAS BEEN THE LANDLOYER OF THE PROPERTY FOR OVER A DECADE.

HE SAYS THIS HASN’T BEEN THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS TAKEN PLACE WHILE OWNING THIS PROPERTY.

:30-52 Something’s got to be done down here. The infrastructure can’t handle…

THE METROPOLITAN SEWER DISTRICT OF GREATER CINCINNATI (M-S-D) REFERS TO THIS STREET AS THE WINDMAN BOWL. THE ENTIRE AREA FLOWS DOWN THE STREET INTO A GIANT BOWL OF WATER.

THE WATER IS THEN TRAPPED IN THE STREET AND CONTINUES TO FILL UP WHEN THE RAIN CONTINUES.

WITH IT BEING THE LOWEST PART OF THE STREET, WATER WILL GATHER DUE TO BACKED-UP SEWAGE DRAINS ON THE STREET.

THE LANDLOYER SAYS HE HAS CONTACTED MSD SEVERAL TIMES WHILE OWNING THIS PROPERTY BUT NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO SOLVE THIS.

:46- 01“Usually, I say that because it’s happened 5 times, but usually there will be 2 or 3 trucks here early in the morning….

THE MOTHER OF FIVE SAYS THE COMMUNITY AND HER NEIGHBORS HAVE BEEN MORE THAN WELCOMING TO HER AND HER FAMILY.

THE CITY, ON THE OTHER HAND, HAS NOT BOTHERED TO FIX AN ONGOING ISSUE FOR FAMILIES DEALING WITH SIMILAR ISSUES THROUGHOUT THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
