Today I was taking my mid morning nap when my hubby came and woke me up. He said it was my mother on the phone and she was crying. I jumped up and grabbed the phone and asked her what was wrong.
Last night the northern half of the state got torrential rainfall and the hardest hit area was where she lives. She told me they (her and her boyfriend) were asleep and he was woke up to water rushing the couch. They were so lucky they didn’t get electrocuted because they were both surrounded by extension cords and stuff like that in the water. They went outside and the vehicle was flooded as well so some time they called the rescue squad out to get them.
Today she went back and was devastated. She lost everything. She said her house is nothing but a mud pit. I asked her if she wanted me to come help her and she said no and that I couldn’t get up the driveway. My aunts house (next door) suffered major damage as well. The ravenous floods turned over my aunts huge double door fridge, tore the cabinets with the marble counters tops off and flipped her propane tank outside. Most of the porch furniture was scattered throughout the woods.
It broke my heart to hear my mother cry. Most of my step dads stuff was in the storage behind her house. It’s all gone. I’m pretty sure that family heirlooms such as my grandmother’s bible and photos are lost. Please keep my mother in your thoughts, prayers or whatever you do. She has no place to go and I can’t help her financially. Thank you!
