It was a rough start to the year for many small businesses that dealt with major flooding in San Francisco's Mission District.
Since then, many storefronts have fortified their entrances with sandbags, plywood, and metal gates in preparation for more rain.
"From one hour after the flooding started, up until maybe five hours ago when we finally got our water heater up and running, that was the last piece we needed. And in between then, we've had refrigeration companies, electrical companies, gas, plumbers, water heater repair guys, floor guys, dry wall guys," said owner Matthew Coric. "That's not even including payroll hasn't run and my time or my family's time or anything like that," he said.
Since then, the city came to unclog storm drains and catch basins, but not before several businesses in the area were hit with thousands of dollars in damages.
