Here are a few YouTube videos if anyone is interested:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r8IKat8FDME (11 minutes) - Flood waters were so high they had to get on the roof; roof eventually collapsed; grandparents & 7 year old did not survive. Not sure but this may be the first time I've seen a news anchor in tears.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZU2OKFCY_g (2 minutes) - Tree landed on their home, mother and her two month old sons did not survive.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwF-bGv74lI (2 minutes) - News channel reports that the water was 30 feet high; video footage from apartment literally shows a building floating down the flood-"river" then getting ripped in half.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2IJROJ_2U0 (7 minutes) - Original cell phone video; looks like their property turned into a river loaded with storm debris; the entire house torn from it's foundation, starts floating away.
Saw a few other videos, one where a lady is pointing out to the YouTuber spots across the river where there were homes. Totally gone. One home just had part of the chimney still there. Some were able to evacuate their homes, went to higher ground and had to stay in the woods for days. Drone video showing homes along the river literally torn in half.
Another mentioned a church with 200 people who had been without food for 6 days. And another video reported on parents and their baby, had to escape out of a window... mother passed the baby to the dad outside then in no time the house was floating down the river, with the mom in it who apparently is now missing.
So many more stories like that. All so tragic.
Some mention that this flood was higher than the previous high in 1916. Heard many mentions of this being a 1000 year level flood.
