Ten dogs died after District Dogs on Rhode Island Avenue NE was inundated with floodwaters Monday, an official with the Human Rescue Alliance said.
Costello posted on social media Monday night that she was awaiting word from District Dogs and its owner about Maple’s status, but soon followed up that she had received a phone call: “Unfortunately not with the news we wanted or hoped to hear.”“I can’t believe she’s not here,” Costello wrote. “I don’t want to think about her last moments. It KILLS me I wasn’t there to protect her.”Costello did not respond to messages and a note left at her home Tuesday.
The Office of Unified Communications, which oversees 911 dispatch, and the D.C. fire department did not immediatelyJohn Lisle, a spokesman for D.C. Water, said in an email that the area has experienced chronic flooding as far back as the late 1800s, and that D.C. Water’s rain gauges recorded about two inches between 4:30 and 5:15 p.m. Monday.
The tunnel is expected to be completed in September and will add 90 million gallons of storage for water, he said. That is sufficient for very serious storms, though Lisle noted it “will not prevent all flooding from intense storms but will lessen their impact.” Last August, Jacob Hensley, the owner of District Dogs, told The Washington Post that his business had flooded three times in less than a month. Flood bags were in place, but “our building’s not built like a ship,” he said.At the time, Hensley said he had been in touch with city officials and was hoping for a solution, whether through an improved storm drain system or some form of protection for his business.
