Flooding on Penn Square Mall's ground floor

Oklahoma City’s Penn Square Mall is open normal business hours Wednesday.

 

The mall closed Tuesday afternoon after a water main break caused flooding on parts of the ground floor.

 

“[The mall] will be open today normal business operating hours from 10 am to 9 pm,” Jeffrey Runnels, Penn Square’s general manager, said in a statement. Runnels said a few stores may remain closed as repairs continue.

 

Oklahoma City Fire Department officials reported on Twitter 3 to 5 inches of water covered the ground of the Macy’s Department Store Tuesday afternoon before the mall’s water was shut off.
