Flooded Cellars Hit Court Street Area After Storm
Residents in the Court street low area faced severe cellar flooding from Thursday's storm. One cellar flooded enough to extinguish a furnace fire, risking oil burner and electrical appliances. Water levels reached several feet, forcing families to relocate meals down the street. Attempts to pump out were futile as the area remained flooded. Another home reported two feet of water near the sewer corridor, with ongoing fire maintenance requiring rubber boots and careful care of small children. City aid was limited due to bond obligations for sewage system improvements.
