Pumps are working around the clock as heavy machinery builds dams.
On Tuesday, contractor Craig Simon spent several hours aboard a tractor. He dumped dirt in order to open up a pathway to homes which had been cut off from the street.
“The concrete here was eaten around,” Simon said. “Debris was across the road.”
Just under a foot of rain fell within the past week. It left fields of mud, as well as a lake in Julie Bukowsky’s yard.
The water on Tuesday flowed swiftly over her driveway, as she worried that a bridge on her property was gone.
“We can get out on a neighbor’s driveway, but our bridge is still under water,” Bukowsky said.
Nobody is stranded, but residents are being inconvenienced. Some can only get out by walking or driving through a neighbor’s yard.
