Residents of nearby houses were also shown, busy with debris clearing and damage assessments, trying to piece back the damage left in the aftermath.
According to some authorities, up to 2 feet of soil washed away as floodwaters pushed debris, sunken objects, and trash accumulated in some places.

Residents urge community cooperation as officials scramble for support from neighbors to speed relief efforts and assist affected individuals struggling with displacement caused by stormwaters and landslides.
