"Oh my." That's the understatement of the century! If it was my house falling into the water, y'all'd be hearing more "beeps" than words in that recording.
-
Prayers going up for this family! Amen 🙏
-
Ohh I’m so sorry 😢 I do hope your business survives ❤
-
Sad thing is, even if it hadn’t fallen in, it would be too dangerous to ever be lived in again. I always have felt fire would be the most destructive thing to happen, but this is definitely equal. Praying for this family in such a heartbreaking position.
-
lesson: always rent, buy or build a home on the highest ground you can find
-
So sad.
-
they lost their beautiful home and their business is at risk because of ineptitude of those that should have prevented this… so sorry to this sweet family and I hope the business stay high and dry
-
Wonder if the town or epa will send them a bill for dumping there house in the river.
-
Lead reporter says house was lost in the flood. Excellent reporting there sir.
-
Oh no! The whole house!!! 🙀🙀🙀
-
I hope they are insured.
-
Such a shame. You can tell it was a sturdy old house too.
-
Oh my! What a polite comment. Refreshing.
-
when you build on the edge of a river, you have to expect some water 🤷🏽♀️
-
I hope they were able to get most of their important stuff out. Sucks to lose everything like this
-
That made me sad.
-
Hope they got everything out of their house.
-
Very unfortunate. They probably don't have flood insurance either. Couldn't the remainder of the dam been blown up to redirect the water away from the house and back toward it's original course?
-
I always imagined that if I lived on a flood plain I'd build up the land 20 feet to be safe from floods. This shows a case of how even that could be useless.
-
Condolences, best wishes and prayers for this family.
