Roof leaks drive 20 apartment dwellers to emergency shelters

URBANA – Tamisha White said water was not only pouring into her Urbana apartment Thursday night, but parts of a bedroom ceiling also fell on her 8-month old son.

Luckily, the boy had only scratches on his face, she said, but White was upset Friday morning that more had not been done earlier to fix a leaky roof at the Colorado Trace Apartments.
