My dad’s friend, his house flooded. It was so, so, so sad for him. The bank got flooded. The place where my dad worked really hard at, it got flooded. It was sad for him. My friend’s house got flooded really, really bad. I live on Rice Road by the cemetery, so we were high so we did not get flooded.

My trampoline floated away. They sent out a rescue boat. They brought back five people and three dogs. They launched the boat out of my bamboo. It was really cool. They got two lamas and a horse. A car got swept away. It knocked down a tree, it was really big.

All About the Flood
My Grandma’s house up to two steps. It did not hurt my house though because I live on a hill. My Grandma’s house was really muddy. She had to clean her house. She went to Newport. I miss her a lot. I won’t be able to see her for three days. My house lights were flickering off and on in my house. I really miss my Grandma. I miss Green Eyes and James and Papa and Joan.

The flood was pretty bad. I couldn’t go outside because deep water came up on the road. The bridge flooded all the way. Also my sisters PeeWee and my mom and dad.

My neighbor’s yard was flooded and their fence was broken down. My garden was flooded badly. A hole bunch of stuff of ours floated away. We evacuated to my aunt’s and Grandma’s house and watched the news. The bank was flooded and Backstreet was flooded. Our camper was flooded. Our whole yard was flooded. The blue apartments were flooded behind Randy’s. Randy’s was not flooded. It was a foot until it was on the bridge. Lots of people evacuated to the Event Center. It was a bad flood.
                My friend Robbie’s house got flooded. His Lego Nijogo’s floated away. My friend Jesse’s house did not get flooded. My Aunt Cindy’s house did not get flooded, but she is not the aunt that lives with my Grandma. My Aunt and Grandma’s house did not get flooded. There was no school for four days off.    
                It was hard rain and snow. I stayed at my Grandma’s playing Mario Brothers. I’m surprised that Randy did not get flooded. Well a lot of people were in the water in Cushman. It was not funny. I didn’t think it was funny.
                This guy drove into the creek with a little boy or girl. I do not know. I was really sad for the people.

The Flood of 2012 of Mapleton
My house was not flooded. But it did cover the back street and my garden. It was close getting to my house. It was like four inches until it was in my house. I was not scared. Our family went to Tristan’s Grandma’s, so we didn’t get flooded. We were there for three days.
