Felicia Pettigrew, left, and her cousin, Shalanda Pettigrew, load a car with Felicia Pettigrew's belongings at the Colorado Trace Apartments in Urbana on Friday. Felicia Pettrigrew was moving to another apartment in the complex after water started leaking into her apartment after a rain storm Thursday night.
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.
