Residents of a Midtown apartment complex are cleaning up after heavy rain Sunday evening flooded their apartments and cars.
Resident David Hexton told Channel 2 Action News the water was about a foot deep inside his apartment. He's been living in the 251 North apartment complex for eight years.
He said the complex, on City Line Avenue in northeast Atlanta, floods often.
"This is my sixth or seventh flood that I've been in," said Hexton.
He was at work when Sunday evening’s storm passed through, but his neighbors’ cars were floating in about three feet of water.
When the water receded, the cars ended up on top of each other.
Residents say pine straw was laid down recently, and they believe it clogged storm drains and caused the flooding.
"They put tons of it everywhere. It's cheap, that's what clogged the sewers, flooded it. But I mean I think it's ridiculous. They've said for years that they were going to fix the problem but they haven't," said Hexton.
