Dozens of people became stuck in their apartments after Elsa left floodwater behind. The only way anyone can get out of their homes is if they don’t mind risking damage to their car engines.
Flooding was at least ankle-deep in the parking lot of a couple apartment complexes in the Iona area of Lee County Wednesday after Elsa brought heavy rain to them overnight.
People we spoke to say the neighborhood floods all the time. An entire street was submerged, keeping hundreds of people in their apartments.
