- In Big Bend, neighbors stacked sandbags and checked sump pumps around the clock to keep water out of homes, with one house already described by residents as a total loss.
- Along Fox River Road in Waterford, homeowners reported washed-out landscaping, flooded garages and water seeping into crawl spaces as they built makeshift barriers and shared equipment.
