Summer Flooding

These are pictures I took of the parking lot of the A&P food store and TJ Maxx shopping plaza after the flooding began to recede. The stores were devastated when the water crashed through their doors and washed their products out the back loading area. All the products inside the stores were ruined - 6 feet of water engulfed shelves & destroyed everything. The anchor stores in this plaza have all been gutted, most likely not to return business there.

 

 

 

After the waters receded.

This is the back parking lot.

There were shoes everywhere. Most of which still had anti-theft tags still stuck to them. My assumption is that TJ Maxx's shoe department was in the back and the loose products floated right out the back doors. It was a shoe graveyard back there!

The main parking lot was barely navigable, and shopping carts were strewn hundreds of feet around the plaza.
