“It was insane. I was worried that some of the cars were going to start floating away down there further along that road. When I got to the other side of the street, you could see really all of the flooding that was happening down there with those apartments,” he said.
Atlanta Watershed, Atlanta Gas Light, and Atlanta Fire and Rescue all responded to the scene.
For hours, crews worked to stop the water, “It was like a river flowing outside of the building,” Hoskovec said.
Sunday the two water main breaks forced low water pressure throughout the neighborhood.
