Dozens of east Oakland children and their families say they are frustrated and homesick.
Residents said that as many as nine cars were submerged under flood water. Davina Brown said she lost two cars in the storm.
“PG&E came out and drained one of the pumps then cut power to the building after seeing how much water it was. And after that, then what do we do? Now there's no power,” she said.“We've just been eating fast food twice a day,” she said. Many here feel that the damage could have been avoided and added that their complex, just four years old was badly neglected.
“All the other apartments around us are perfectly fine. Ours is literally the only one pitch black and with all these problems going on,” Wheeler said. Residents who have been displaced told NBC Bay Area that they're most in need of laundry service, Clipper cards, so people can get to work, new board games for children and gift certificates to local restaurants.This article tagged under:
