Floodwaters destroyed many homes and left the remaining structures heavily damaged.

“Speaking to some residents, this [disaster] represents not only the destruction of their homes, but their livelihoods as well because many of the residents told us that they had small stores and small businesses in the bottom floors of their homes and all of their products – everything – has been completely washed away.”
