My daughter lives in Burnsville. Same with the creek behind their house! Fortunately, she had been out of state when the flood came. It was VERY scary for the 4 days we couldn’t contact her. Glad you made out OK!!

Thank you!

Not just that, but as water moves downvalley it picks up rocks and literally churns them into sand which turns the water into a giant "water jet" with high pressure abrasives that literally cut deep paths through solid rock in the mountain valleys and anything in their path. A small intermittent stream can get cut down several stories deep and hundreds of yards wide, and every square yard adds more than a ton of rock that pulverizes into sand, increasing the devastation power. NOTHING survives that. THEN when the raging sand & rock filled waters hit a level spot they drop and deposit the million tons of sand, mud, rocks all at once packing people's homes and even filling the refrigerators with sand. Total devastation followed by MOLD that starts growing in surviving structures. If they aren't cleaned out, drywall+insulation ripped out fast, then they are condemned anyways due to black mold.
THAT'S WHAT MOUNTAIN FLOODS DO.
It requires a monumental rescue & relief response.

You are totally right. I did not even mention the mudslides that were more catastrophic then the flooding itself.

and you wont convince me this wasnt man caused.. for a reason.. horrific more than i can even think as we are not destructive people. only the enemy does things like this.. chaos and detrstruction... . thank you for sharing this information about your home 10 miles plus away!! how scarey but glad your okay.. ,
