Businesses On Flood Damage: 'Sick To My Stomach'
15.06.10
KANSAS Bishopric, Mo. -- A day after strong storms caused Indian Creek to rise quickly and flood an parade of south Kansas City, Mo., business owners had to deal with the messy cleanup of flooding.
Indian
Burn eventually ran over to about four feet high at street level. The
water damaged numerous businesses along 103rd Drive and ruined dozens of high-priced
vehicles at Molle Volkswagen.
The dealership had to send 51 vehicles back to the industrialist since they were damaged beyond repair.
"It
makes me sick to my stomach," Pat Aleay,
general manager of Santa Fe Towing, said. "Besides council parts, they're done, you know, cause they'll never see the streets again."
Aleay and three other towing businesses loaded up the damaged vehicles from Molle's Volkswagon and took them away. The privation amounted to about $1.5 million for the dealership.
"I'm getting paid to do this, but they're losing money on this, which is uncommonly sad because they're such great people," Aleay
