A huge water main break turned streets into rivers in Philadelphia's Kingsessing neighborhood. The Water Department estimates 8 million gallons leaked. 'I thought we were in the river somewhere,' a resident said. alecia__reid reports
There were no boat rescues but officials say one person was extricated from a basement apartment. The fire department says they assisted several people, along with transporting two people to the hospital.
The extreme sound of the eruption can be attributed to the amount of water flowing through the 42-inch main. “The whole basement is flooded with water. Everything I have down there is completely damaged,” Odem said.“I just got a brand new car. Flooded from the top to the bottom,” Paula Allen said. “They were here all summer digging up our streets, leaving it all raggedy. Now, this is what we’re waking up to today,” Allen said.
