'...He doesn't really know that he ruined my whole world,' the owner of Sorrella, a clothing botique, said of the cement truck driver who hit the hydrant and took off

A sheared fire hydrant in the Fairfax District caused a nightmare for a business owner when her clothing store was flooded.

Sanders' social media posts about the incident have gone viral after the water damaged her woman's boutique called Sorrella. She said a cement truck sheared the hydrant, located at the corner of Melrose and North Orange Grove Monday afternoon. "It was so loud. I felt like I was in a rainforest," she told CBSLA. "The water caused this to come down and we were actually in here when it happened," she said.

Sanders said her store was looted in 2020 during the civil unrest, in which a police car was burned a few blocks away. She's been working hard to bounce back from that, the pandemic shutdowns and the recent spike in crime.
