Mayor Bell's residence, Rice Addition, isolated by the flood Neighborhood of some 20 homes stranded for about half a day. No major problems, Mayor Bell said, though the EMS had to come in across a field, from Stults Lane, to reach a Rice Addition address. Biggest headache is today, with finding money to pay for flood damage to the Columbia Sewer treatment plant. Click on headline for story plus photo(s) By Ed Waggener In the flurry of flood news yesterday, a major story didn't get posted. From approximately 2:30pmCT, about 20 families in the Rice Addition on Crestview Loop were cut off by flood waters for several hours, until sometime in the early hours this morning. When the Mayor awoke, he said, the road out to Greensburg Street was clear of water. Among the stranded was Columbia Mayor Pat Bell, who said he was able to field the flood of calls he received by telephone. Mayor's command post his flood isolated home "The street crews were out, and Donnie Rowe and his department got the flooded areas marked," he said. "The police took care of the situation really well" "The biggest thing facing us this morning," he said, "Is water damage to the sewer plant. It was flooded and the figure I'm hearing is we'll need around $250,000 -maybe more - to make repairs." He said his staff will have a meeting to see if they can get the Governor to declare the community a Disaster Area and get grant money to repair the sewer. Rice Addition not completely cut off The Mayor said that everybody in the Rice Addition made it through quite well. "Nobody went hungry, so far as I heard," he said. "but there was one incident where the EMS couldn't drive in," he said. "They were called to help a man who was down in a home. They drove the ambulance in on Stults Lane from Greensburg ST, and walked across to the house on Crestview." Mayor Bell said that the man who was deemed in need of the EMS had been able to get up, in the meantime, on his own, and didn't have to be carried across the field to the ambulance, after all.
