I work for Spirit Halloween and because of Hurricane Ike last month a few stores were damaged by the flooding Ike caused. One store in Texas has closed and will not reopen because the damage was too extensive. Another store in Florissant, MO was flooded and has reopened.
The rain came down like someone turned on the faucets or more like fire hoses. 8 inches of water along with mud and other debris covered the floor in our store in Missouri. It took quite a bit of cleanup and new merchandise to get the store open again.
