>> back to one of our breaking stories. the bad news for folks in east falls is that a 48-inch water main has broken and is flooding some businesses in the shop rite shopping center. there's also a ross store there wendy's and other things. fire department tried to get a handle on it and get the philadelphia water department to turn that main off. the good news again no injuries here but at rush hour this could not happen at a worst time and these store owners are upset because a very similar devastating water main broke about a year ago. they've already had to do cleanup and damage control from a year ago and get rid of waterlogged merchandise and broken store parts because of water in their area. now they'll have to go through that again right before the holidays when it is the store's busiest time of year.

there could be some blockage on fox and abbottsford avenues in east falls. that's where this is happening. it started about 45 minutes ago. you see a shopping cart there under water and they're using some of their emergency equipment trying to get closer to this 48-inch water main that is still gushing rivers of water in that neighborhood. really a nightmare over for the folks and this woman looks like she's just been taken from one of the stores. it appears to be a rescue but we don't have any information about that. good news for her the firefighters were there with their rubber dingy or boat to help get her out of that area where it's being impacted. you see other firefighters wading through what appears to be knee deep water. we'll keep an eye on it for you in the east falls section, a really difficult evening tonight. >> an estimated 5 million people turned out to celebrate the chicago cubs history making world series win today.

rally them get them out of the shop rite because clearly if it's this deep on the outside it is also flooding probably into the store and as we pan back over, if our camera crew from chopper6 can show you, one of these street signs, a stop sign in the parking lot is almost submerged. you can see only the top of the stop sign as we come back over you'll see he in a moment and if they remove this lower portion. there it is. the stop sign is partially under water. the entire post is covered there it appears to be creeping up some of the light posts there. this car obviously, the tires are no longer visible. this is the third time in two and a half years this has been a problem. the water main broke in january of 2014, broke again, 16 months later, 18 months later in june of 2015 and now here we go again in november of 2016. this is both a streets department issue fixing the main and a water department issue cutting off that surging water. so, they're getting all the city crews out there to turn off what is now a waterfall

>> "action news" at 5:00 continues as we continue to monitor this breaking news story out of philadelphia's east falls section tonight. chopper6 live one more time over that 48-inch water main break in a shopping center near the 2800 block of fox street and abbottsford avenue. you can see some of the shoppers there who had been rescued he slowly but surely making it to their car, making it to safety. the shopping center includes a shop rite a ross state wine and liquor store. cars in the parking lot as you can see he are being swallowed by water. looks like a mother and little boy rescued by fire crews and emergency officials. firefighters and other rescuers arrived a short timing a and they have been walking people out of the area one by one much that's where the water main happened a.m. 48-inch water main break in east falls. some people have been wading through the water themselves carrying bags of groceries.

the 48-inch main still spilling thousands of gallons of water into the area, this strip mall. taking a live look again at the efforts to get people out. this is not the first time a water main this size has occurred here. we don't know if anyone has been injured or how many people may be stranded because of the flooding but rescue operations under way tonight and officials are telling people to avoid this area, avoid this shopping center if at all costs and of course we have an "action news" crew on the way to the scene. we'll continue to bring you updates as they become available to us from the east falls connection -- section of the city. >> cars not to speak of the people who are in danger but imagine going to your gross he restore and coming out to he see your car has been completely flooded out. now the water we see is so deep it's continuing to gush out that many of those cars in the lower part of your screen were to two-thirds submerged so way past where the engine would have been stalled out by the water rendering them unusable certainly. people are having tremendous

issues following this water main break that broke at about 4:45 so now about 45 minutes ago, 4:30ish. firefighters in their wet gear having what appears to be air packs on the back in case they would get submerged but at the very least wearing rescue gear and taking rafts in to try to get people out of the store who may be standing on shelves or doing what they have to do to get away from the water and bringing that many outside but they would be coming out to no vehicle taking them to higher ground trying to get them help to get home. they'll have to worry about cars and vehicles and other possessions at a later date. they're just trying to save people right now. >> we want to go to the phones and speak with john di julio with the philadelphia water department. john are you there. >> i'm here. >> thanks for calling in for us. can you update us on the situation here as we continue to look live at this strip

mall here in east falls. what can you tell us to the best of your knowledge, don. >> at the moment very preliminarily we believe there's a water main break on at least one of our 48-inch water mains we have there. there are four. so i know that we've had several water main breaks in that exact location however they have not been on the same water main. association we'll have to figure out which water main is broken. that could take some time to figure out which ones to shut down. i know we're in the process of doing some valve operations working to reduce the water flow and that's the primary goal right now make sure that we get this water main turned off and, you know make sure all the customers in that shopping vendor able to be safely -- we're working with our partners at the fire department. and we will do our best to get this done as quickly as possible. >> don, monica malpass here as

well. just a couple quick questions. is there any way of knowing how many hundreds of thousands of gallons have already gushed out? it is literally covering two-thirds of some of the cars in what appears to be to the lower part of the park lot closest to the front door of these stores. >> we'll be able to do the math after the fact. it is determined upon how long the main was broken for or how long the water is running for. we have an estimation that we can come up with based on the volume of water we're losing per day and then let's say we lost x millions of gallons per 24 hours we would divide that by how many hours the water main ran for. safe to assume it's in the millions of gallons not hundreds of thousands. but we he will have lost millions of gallons of water through this water main break. >> and john as we continue to look from chopper6 we see a number of cars. we can also see we assume shoppers who were apparently in these stores when this happened. can we assume that everyone has been evacuated safely or in the process of being

rescued at this hour? no more shoppers in any of these stores that we're looking at, correct. >> unfortunately i'm not able to answer that question. i'm in my own vehicle headed out there right now. what i can tell you is that i understand the fire department is on scene, so any rescue operations are taking place or being handled by the fire department and emergency management. any questions you can probably check with them. once we're all on scene together i'm sure we'll be happy to answer any questions via, you know,, excuse me when the reporters are there and we can talk to you guys, hold a quick press conference and answer those questions again. >> john a couple more quick questions and we'll let you drive there safely because we know it's dangerous to try to drive and talk at the same time. you said there are four different huge mains there and different ones have been breaking. we were talking earlier about how there have been three big breaks and now we understand of different mains over the last two and a half years. what do you think is causing the mains to break? is it

simply age? is that this area's hyland developed and perhaps too much strain on the system? what's your idea here? >> you know, those questions that i can't answer honestly right now. those mains were installed in the late 1800s so there is an age factor. but, you know, the development is new. i certainly can't speak to anything about what's causing it without, you know, our assessments that we'll do. we will likely have this water main looked at by an engineering firm to see if there's anything that they can point to, different stressors and things like that but it's too early in the investigation to say. >> certainly if you're reducing water flow we see now from our chopper shot john i'm just going to tell you we see what appears to be a river of water and you're calling it millions of gallons have come out of this 48 main that's broken so just a torrential river showing through the streets. so you said you were reducing

water flow in that area certainly to cause the damage to be lessened or at least to stop the damage and save these people who were stranded in the stores. i would assume that's impacting everybody for how far, miles? >> so, what i can tell you is that these water mains are transmission mains, not distribution mains. each one of them serves a different purpose. without knowing exactly which one is broken i can speak to what impact it would have on the community. some of them are mains that simply carry water from our plant to reservoirs or from our plant to distribution pipes. so they don't necessarily have to be supplying homes or businesses water so people may not notice a he reduction in water pressure. but again, i'm not familiar with which one is broken and i'm not sure that our crews are able to tell me that right now, either. they're currently just assessing -- because there's four right next to each other, there's nothing that says, oh, it's here, you know. >> right. >> so, it just has to be a

process of going -- working on each valve individually and when they find the valves that are reducing the flow then they'll know which mains. in that regard we'll know what the impact could be but if we're not aware of any lost pressure or any pressure issues from customers it very likely is not one of the transmission mains that's supplying the distribution system. >> all right. john di houle he yo'. we have an "action news" crew at the scene and hopefully we'll be able to talk with you again once you arrive here. just to he reiterate this breaking news story from the city he's east falls section tonight a huge water main break that is flooded out this strip mall here. the 2800 block of fox street. several stores here a ross', a shop rite grocery store, all of these stores evacuated. a number of shoppers had to be rescued. you can see a number of cars
