Resident Lin St. Clair lost his car in the flood and he’s sorting through what can be salvaged.

“I’ve had water on the first floor a couple other times, but this is the first time I’ve lost everything.  Washer, dryer, water heater, furnace, fridge, stove – all of it.  This is the worst one we have had,” St. Clair said.

Crews are also out handing out clean-up kits for residents who need them.
