Flooding at Pho Oregon - Bridgetown Bites

Posted in multiple social media outlets over the past couple of days, a video of some epic flooding of Pho Oregon is pretty intense. There’s what looks like a couple feet of water pouring out from the front doors onto the sidewalk from the ground floor. Community observation indicated it might be flooding from fire sprinkler pipes; and because we’ve had all this frigid weather, frozen pipes could be part of the story (fun fact: freezing rain is coming down as I write this).

Thankfully, the dining area is higher up inside, so it may not be affected as badly, but overall it looks like a mess. Unfortunately, all that water running out will no doubt doubly ice up the sidewalk, so if you walk by, be careful. I wish the Pho Oregon folks good fortune in cleaning things up, and look forward to eating their delicious food when things get back to normal.
