Recent heavy storms in Guerneville, California, resulted in devastating flooding, causing over $7.5 million in damage. Many residents, like Katelyn Ellison and her family, lost everything they owned. With assistance from the Russian River Alliance, affected individuals find temporary housing, while ongoing rains forecast additional challenges. Community support and cleanup efforts are underway, but many residents face uncertainty regarding their living situations due to significant structural damage and lack of flood insurance. Local leaders express concern over the sudden rise in flood levels, stressing the surprise element of this disaster.
We lost all of our furniture, our beds, our dressers, our desks, most of my storage unit we lost all that.
It's night-to-night, it's day-by-day, it's step-by-step, and it's horrifying.
National Weather Service was calling for about a 32-foot flood... but unfortunately the day before the waters were rising that number jumped up to over 36.
We're sanding down all the walls right now and getting where any mold had started so we're burning through masks like nobody's business.
