These floods that inundated Edgewood on Friday have receded and as there is new footage of debris being cleared, William False shows us the damage to the house he rents all the way down, you can see how high. It's about what I measured, it's about 22 inches, all the furniture, the doors, I mean, everything is damaged, we all lost our entire dock, a lot of documents, you know, a lot of papers, we basically call it a total loss, it gets worse as it goes by that we look further, you can see all the cabinets, you can see how, you know, you just have to rip it all out, it's going to take a lot of work, it's horrible, it's very, very stressful, the flood took its toll on Stephanie Gordillo's house.

It was probably at least two feet up to here. I got my bat wet, yes, of all my electronic devices, thank God, I was afraid of electricity, of getting an electric shock or something. I was afraid of my mom and dad, especially my mom, she has asthma, they ran out of energy. From Wednesday night to Sunday we had flooding. I've lived here for over 30 years and it's never been like this, it's never been as bad as my house lifting off the ground, so I've never had water get in. This is the first time in 30 years I have had blood enter my house two feet up to my knees a montage of photos shows the damage to Patricia Russell's house she takes us through her house a bed is gone my bed is still is here what were you thinking when this happened?

What was going through your mind? Where am I going to live? How am I going to live?
