Part of Westfield UTC, an upscale shopping mall in San Diego’s University City neighborhood, flooded with what looked like brown water on Wednesday afternoon.

Footage shared on social media shows brown water a few inches deep outside cordoned off stores like Tiffany & Co., lululemon, Warby Parker, Nespresso and L’Occitane en Provence.

Shoppers could be seen walking in the mall past the flooded areas. Video shared with NBC 7 shows one man standing in the moving, flooded waters right outside the Warby Parker store.

Not long after, the flood waters drained, leaving dried brown spots in the previously flooded areas, footage from SkyRanger7 overhead showed.

Later in the afternoon, the owners of the mall sent NBC 7 the following statement:

“Westfield UTC is currently addressing a water main failure that occurred earlier today off Palm Plaza. While some stores may be temporarily impacted, the center remains open and ready to welcome guests. We appreciate your understanding and patience as we resolve this matter. For immediate updates on current affected retailers, please contact the individual stores directly for most up-to-date operating hours.“

Billionaire investor Ken Griffin’s suite of hedge funds at Citadel eked out small gains in what proved a volatile month in August as markets grappled with an emerging growth scare.

Citadel’s multistrategy Wellington fund gained about 1% in August, bringing its year-to-date return to 9.9%, according to a person familiar with the returns, who spoke anonymously because the performance numbers are private. All five strategies used in the flagship fund — commodities, equities, fixed income, credit and quantitative — were positive for the month, the person said.

The Miami-based firm’s tactical trading fund rose 1.5% last month and is up 14.5% on the year. Its equities fund, which uses a long/short strategy, edged up 0.8%, pushing its 2024 returns to 9.3%.

Citadel declined to comment. The hedge fund complex had about $63 billion in assets under management as of August 1.

Volatility made a strong comeback in August as fears of a recession were rekindled by a weak July jobs report. On August 5, the S&P 500 dropped 3%, its worst day since September 2022. Still, the market quickly bounced back, with the equity benchmark ending August up 2.3%. The S&P 500 is now ahead more than 15% in 2024.

Overall, the hedge fund community recently moved into a defensive mode as macroeconomic uncertainty mounted. Hedge funds on net sold global equities for a seventh straight week recently, driven by sales of communication services, financial and consumer staples stocks, according to Goldman Sachs’ prime brokerage data.
