People in Chicago's Austin community frustrated after last week's damaging floods packed the Columbus Park Refectory Tuesday morning.
Relief can't come fast enough for Yvette McCallum. Storms flooded her garden apartment in the 4800-block of Iowa Street.
The Austin resident is one of many attending a morning meeting at the Columbus Park, looking for a reason why their neighborhoods keep flooding.Officials with the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District said they're doing everything they can... But some of the flooded out residents aren't buying that and are calling for transparency from the agency."The first thing we lost was our furnace, which cost $12,000," flood victim Jake Towers said. "This was not an act of God. We usually say this was an act of God.. This was something that was done by the city."
