Broad Ripple floods close restaurant

Most businesses in Broad Ripple quickly recovered from floodwaters that hit the area Tuesday, but restaurant Petite Chou remains closed. Petite Chou owner Martha Hoover said the eatery could be closed for six months. "I think we're looking at this as a 100-percent gut job," Hoover said. “The water came in at such a fast pace, and there was so much water.” The Indianapolis Department of Public Works said two flood gates were wrongly closed in the 6500 block of Westfield Boulevard, which led to flooding after heavy rains.
