๐ŸŽค Whisper Transcript (en) โฑ 120s

"Some folks are still dealing with what Monday's flash flooding left behind. We follow up. This is by far the worst we've seen. I mean I always did want an indoor pool, I'm not like this. The entire basement was flooded by the freezers, the ice cream, the milk, the juices, the sodas, all those refrigerators. The motors are underwater, $10,000 of merchandise down there that's lost. For the equipment that's down there, $50,000, $60,000, maybe $80,000. Everything he and his dad have worked for over the past 33 years. The stretch of Front Street looks totally normal right now, but for those impacted by yesterday's flooding, it's anything but. I pride myself on being a very good parallel parker, I do it all the time, but it was strong enough to move my car onto the curb. It's been crazy. We have like a little back patio space and that was like at least three inches deep. So that started coming into our office, our living room, our dining room, closet, and then it started coming in from the apartment next to us. I spoke with some neighbors who say this storm didn't just expose their homes to flood water, it also exposed infrastructure issues that they say they've been dealing with for years now. Ten teams played in six matches here, each bringing a fan base full of passion and pride. For locals and people all across the country, this World Cup experience was like none other. The city's alive. I love Philly. I just moved here like a year ago. I'm never leaving. Uncovering the heart behind the headline. For the visitors who came here, Philadelphia left an indelible mark on their stomachs. We had the cheesesteak this morning. It was probably the best thing I've ever had, to be fair, like. And in their hearts. Relax yourself, yeah. The peep off feeling. The food left over after the six World Cup matches is now donated to local charities. So rather than see food go to waste and recomposting, hopefully we're making a difference in supporting people. Organizations say for many families this food will be a huge help. It means the world. It's really difficult for people to ask for help, right? It's a pride, it's an ego thing, but everybody needs something, everybody needs a hand every once in a while. CBS News Philadelphia, finding heart in every beat."
