I Was Scared To Death, My Husband Was Not Here At The Time, I Was Terrified, I Didn't Know What To Do, I Kept Saying Don't Panic Its Just Water.

Mary's Bathroom, Living Room And Ceramic Tile Were All Damaged By The Flood In A Matter Of Minutes.

The Power Had Been Out For About A Half An Hour And I Had Just Been Sitting Here And The Dogs Came Over And Sniffed At The Door And I Knew Something Didn't Look Right. And I Looked And The Floor Was Shiny So I Jumped Up To Get A Mop...By The Time I Got A Mop The Water Was Halfway In The House. And By The Time I Went What Do I Do Now It Was All The Way In The Kitchen.

This Was The Story All Over The City...Business Owners On West 70th Street Were Met With Ruined Merchandise And A Store Full Of Water When They Came In This Morning.

Karem Khaled, Karem's Fashions Owner
We Have About 2,000 Shoes In My Store, When I Came This Morning All Of Them On The Floor, All Of Them Damaged. No Less Than $30 To $35,000 Of Shoes Alone.

Kareem Is Scrambling To Clean His Business And Dry The Soaked Carpet So That He Can Eventually Re-Open His Store. The Worst Of The Storm May Be Over But It Is Going To Take Some Time Before People's Homes And Places Of Work Recover From The Damage. Christina Erwin Fox News Shreveport.
