Georgetown Flooded

[Guest Ed]

Hundreds of people were evacuated Monday after the Washington Harbour Shopping Plaza on the Georgetown waterfront flooded.

 

The flooding submerged chairs and tables at restaurants and poured into an underground parking garage. Major property damage is expected but immediate estimates were available.

 

The water, which was waist deep inside some restaurants, poured in after the flood walls weren’t put in place, residents said. It remains unclear why the flood walls weren’t in place.
