Sumrall City Hall damaged from Isaac's flooding

SUMRALL, Miss. (AP) - Sumrall municipal employees are still working at the police station because City Hall flooded in Hurricane Isaac and repairs aren't finished.

Mayor Gerolene Rayborn tells The Hattiesburg American (http://hatne.ws/Su5fok ) that workers are crowded but are able to get their jobs done.

Alderman Brad Sullivan says Sumrall didn't have flood insurance on City Hall or its contents. He says as far as city officials knew, the building wasn't even in a flood plain.

City Hall sits at the bottom of a hill on Mississippi Highway 589, which frequently has standing water during heavy rain. On Aug. 30, about 4 inches water ran into the building. Non-water-resistant flooring and carpet was ruined, as was some furniture.
