Now, the time has come to clean up all of the damage that was left from high water. The river is going down, but it is still very high.
One man who lives near the river used fans on Tuesday to dry things out inside his home. Danny Sammons said there are warped doors and wet bed clothing, which makes things stink around the house.
Sammons said this is the fourth time he has been flooded out, but he said last week was the worst. He said he measured the water level at 32 inches high.
Sammons put everything he could on skids, including his bed, but the river water won in the end. He said the water was over the table and as high as the window he crawled out of on his truck.
While some residents evacuated, Sammons and his family stayed and lived in the attic. He said he still loves to live in the neighborhood, despite the flooding and damage.
There are 18 families living in the neighborhood and the Red Cross is helping them.
