Crabtree Claiming Natural Disaster
By Caitlin Clinard

It’s been two weeks since the remnants of tropical storm Alberto swept through the triangle. Some people are still dealing with the mess it left behind.

The storm waters that put parts of Crabtree Mall under water did a lot of damage. Scores of cars were practically floating in the mall parking lot. Victims tell us that mall security told them the mall would take full responsibility for all the damage.

However, two weeks later, the mall’s insurance company has decided the flooding was a result of a natural disaster. It won’t be compensating people for their losses. One car owner told us mall officials won’t even disclose the name of their insurance company for any of the victims to call and complain.
