Dakota Hart and his mother live in Moraine. They said their basement is still completely flooded.
“No one wants to go down there. I wouldn’t want to go down there,” Dakota said.
His mother said they have lived here for a year and a half, and this is the second time the basement has flooded.
Photos shared by the family show water reaching the top of their basement steps.
Dakota’s bus stop was also moved down the street due to high waters.
“We have to walk super far and past the puddles, and people keep on splashing,” Dakota said.
Their neighbor told News Center 7 that their basement is also flooded with about five feet of water.
The City of Moraine posted on social media asking people not to call 911 for flooded homes.
Instead, the city wants people to get in contact with a plumber for water damage restoration service.
The high water has even made city buildings inaccessible.
The Mayor’s Court and the Payne Recreation Center on Main Street in Moraine will both be closed on Wednesday.
News Center 7 will continue to follow this story.
