More Flood Damage Pics

Amber walked around the yard taking pictures of all of the water. This is the back yard. The house was completely surrounded by water.

Here's a shot from inside the house. The water got much deeper than this after everyone left. All of that stuff on top of the freezer fell off when the freezer started floating around.
Here's a shot of the kitchen.
The living room.
Ish made a bridge over the drainage ditch out of old utility poles. Several of them were moved by the water.
This is where Mel's shower use to be. They had to take it out in order to get all of the wet insulation out. They decided the easiest way to get it out was to cut a hole in the wall of the bedroom and slide it out. They did the same thing in the kid's bathroom.
This is where the bathroom vanity use to be.
The first part of this video is dark, but give it a little bit and you can see some of the damage. All of the wet stuff has been ripped out, and fans are going to try and dry out the studs. Hopefully they won't have any mold or mildew problems.

even though I was there and actually waded through that water, it still seems surreal.

Sooo sad. It just breaks my heart to look at the pictures. Are you ready to come and stay with us?

Yes, these pictures are heartbreaking. I just don't know what else to say...

We are making room for everyone and everything. Mel's kids are rather mellow, so they haven't bothered me at all. I'm enjoying spending time with the kids, especially little Abby. She's in heaven because there's one more adult around to hold her. The biggest task is finding room for all of their stuff, but we're getting there.
