Not good on Rossmore Avenue

Rough Commute

Why do certain streets always flood? Like the shoreline streets of Seal Beach, or Warner-PCH in Huntington Beach. The Times' Victoria Kim reports today from another one -- Rossmore at Beverly in Hancock Park:

Major flooding closed down a portion of Rossmore Avenue between Beverly Boulevard and 3rd Street in Hancock Park. Water submerged two cars that were on the road at about 6 a.m. and was rippling into driveways of some of the stately homes. "We're trapped every year," said resident Erma Lester. "We're seniors. If we had to go to the doctor, we wouldn't be able go."
