This is actually National Park Service housing. It housed several Park Service workers. Just devastating.
-
It is always risky to build on or near river banks.
-
My heart goes out to all of you

Sending love, comfort, and light to the Perez family🙏🏼💖🌌

When Hurricane Harvey dropped 54 inches of rain in a few days, our home in Dickinson Texas flooded with 28 inches of water. We lost everything except for 2 pieces of solid oak furniture. My sons letters from boot camp in the Marines, things you can never replace, photo's, VHS tapes of my father graduating at 80 years old as a vet...... heart wrenching. Thank God for that flood insurance. We moved to the rocky Mountains a year later. No more floods for us.

To discourage more misconceptions this building was at least 50 feet from the waters edge before the flooding. It was built very long ago and it was likely assumed that it would be reduced to splinters long before the river washed away enough land to put it at risk. Edit: its twice the distance from the water that I thought at over 100 feet

I have no clue how you could not anticipate nature being nature. Rivers have challenged their banks since time immemorial.

I know your hearts must be aching, but good to see you still smiling. God bless you all.

The power of water is truly amazing.
-
Prayers to those families.

I need the # to the contractor hew built that home if it's good enough to float down stream it's good enough for me.....

Wow. Prayers for safety and strength ♥️🙏

And they still have smiles on their faces. Amazingly strong people. I guess you have to feel blessed you made it out alive and weren’t swept away in your sleep! ❤️🙏❤️

So sorry to see this lovely home wrecked like this. Hope everyone is okay and they have insurance.
-
Sad for sure. House probably a little to close to the river. Great view though, while it lasted.
-
How many times do these poor people have to watch this!!!!!
-
that's so scary to watch. I have seen that footage several times and it gives me goose bumps Glad all the families are safe.
