A sheared hydrant sent water flying into the air and into the streets of a Sherman Oaks neighborhood.
A sheared hydrant sent water flying into the air like a geyser after authorities believe it was hit by a vehicle in Sherman Oaks.
Around 1 a.m. flooding was reported on the 3900 block of Woodcliff Road. When authorities arrived they found water spewing from what seemed to be a possible main break. Firefighters were also faced with an electrical safety hazard as they found a transformer that exploded due to water hitting the powerlines down the street. They had to turn of the power while they worked to control the water.Get Southern California news, weather forecasts and entertainment stories to your inbox."We did have some hillside erosion from the water flow," said Battalion Chief Logan Fields, from the LA Fire Department.
At least one home was affected by the water and experienced flooding. Runoff from the hydrant is flowing into neighboring streets. Debris from trees and mud are also flowing down streets and have caused damage in the basement of a home.This article tagged under:
