Now this video is from the Davis County Fiscal Court.
Aaron Bommel lives in the Burke City area.
That's Blammo actually.
She says she was grateful to neighbors for helping her family try to save her home.
As flood waters approached.
Last week, our church Abundant Life came out and we filled about a thousand sandbags.
It was amazing.
It was just a few hours.
We have so much help and we put them around the house hoping it wasn't going to get to the house.
It did get to the house.
It got up to our first step there.
So we do think the sandbags helped with the seepage and stuff, but it wasn't like rushing water or anything.
Here.
But everything was covered.
Just for people that have never been out here before, the green River is literally in your front yard.
Yes, yes, it's usually really far down.
I'm not good at how far down, but it's amazing to me that this much water was here.
I feel like a lot of people were like, oh, good, the rain's over.
You're good.
And for us, it's like, oh my gosh, it almost feels like it's just beginning or we're halfway through because now we have the cleanup.
We're still waiting on the water to go down.
There's a lot left ahead for us.
I feel like I'm well, our thoughts are with them.
Certainly, the blame will say.
During a 2018 flood, they were able to get in and out of their house using a tractor.
This time they have to travel by boat.
