Atlantic City flooding has mostly receded, but damage is done

(MCT) — ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. — When the floodwaters crested the curb on Atlantic Avenue on Monday night, James von Fundenberg grabbed his cat, Marcala; locked the doors of J K & Gus’s Auto Repairs, where he had spent the previous three nights watching and waiting; and hightailed it across the street to a friend’s house.

“I got across the street, looked behind me, and the Boardwalk was floating down the street,” he said Tuesday morning.
