Several New Jersey businesses were forced to close after major flooding. The business owners say they warned this would happen, and now want to know who's going to fix it. jennamdeangelis reports.
It wasn't the Monday the owners of Madre & Son Soulfood Cafe in Newark were expecting. They were unable to open, due to flooding.
"It's horrible. There's so much damage here, it's going to take us months to straighten it all out," said Madre & Son co-owner Yolanda Burke. "The same leak that we told the owner of the building about. The same leak they swept under the rug," Burke said. "I sent them an email which said we've spoken about this leak several times over the last couple of months and its becoming a hazard," Burke said. "I have not gotten a response," Burke said.
"There was a river of water washing over," said Kevin Taylor, director of LGBTQ services for NJCRI, a nonprofit opening a youth center in the space."It's really disappointing for us, because we were probably a week maybe two from opening, and we're probably back a month at least getting the water out."
