Hurricane Sandy felled some trees on the National Mall, but The National Park Service said monuments and memorials appear to be just fine. A spokesperson said the World War II Memorial may have some minor flooding, which it's built to withstand. She said the Mall's flood-protection system can protect it from crests of 17 feet or higher. The Park Service is giving the Mall a much-anticipated makeover. It includes new walls to protect the monuments from flooding, better drainage and new storm sewer catch basins.
