Severe Flooding Closes Rite Aid
Rite Aid was closed Tuesday morning, before 10am, due to severe flooding. Pressurized water was rising through the floor according to Fillmore Fire Chief Keith Gurrola, possibly compromising the foundation. The rising water was 4 to 5 inches below the electrical outlets, being monitored by Fillmore Fire. Electricity was still on at noon. Preparations were being put in place to preserve the refrigerated medications in the pharmacy in case the electrical was shut off. Hardhats were required for all personnel entering the store.
