Flooded Cars and Faulty Drains | Denver News

Heavy rains slammed Aurora, turning underground parking garages into flooded pits—cars submerged, residents scrambling to bail out their rides or wait for tow trucks. One man, Jorge Sevilla, fought the rising water with a cup, only to later risk starting his soaked sedan—a move experts warn could wreck the engine. This isn’t the first flood at the complex; tenants have endured four in five years, despite “park at your own risk” signs. Management tried pumping, but it wasn’t enough. With only liability insurance, Jorge’s worried about repairs—or worse, replacement. Experts urge: don’t start a flooded car, document damage, and call your insurer fast.
