White and children were evacuated in safety in early July 4. Now it’s bending like a toy like an impatient child throws aside.
White was lucky: went to safety and he lived his mother and stepfather, the next door. But the West was a more different story. The camp in the camp, a Christian summer camp for girls in the nearby hunting, 27 camps and staff in the flood.
Some of them criticized the government and said they could not invest in adequate flood control and early warning systems.
However, local residents are Stoical. “People point to others to others, but I live on the river – and I know it can go so much,” said Woody CHETBLESS, WOODY CHETBLESS, WOODY CHETBLESS, the first floor of the house of the house of the house. “You have to take some responsibility.”
Destroyed, especially hunting and unreliable scale around the nearby Ingram.

Betty Matteson, a 94-year-old hunting resident, was thrown in the attic of seven family members on July 4, because the flood waters rose around the house.

Most of their personal belongings – photo albums, college diplomas and other mementos lost. Hanging to the fence, a few muddy clothes that he is able to drain in the tight Texan Sun. The dead fish is on the sliding road and after the flood waters came out of the yard, the big mushroom has grew.
Although he worked his house and his work, Olsen said he would probably stay. “Who will buy this place from this situation?” asked. “I don’t have an alternative but will be reset.”
