Flood


John Hains picks up trash left by floodwaters outside his residence in the Watertown neighborhood of East Moline on Saturday afternoon, June 14. Hains chose to stay in his home even though most of his neighbors evacuated.



Eric Rico carries water damaged items outside as his sister and mother, Lilibeth and Vegonia Rico, talk in the doorway of their home on the 1300 block of 6th ave. in the Watertown neighborhood of East Moline on Saturday afternoon, June 14. Flood water filled the basement of the house and finally receded on Saturday morning, leaving countless items ruined.


These are two outtakes from today's visit to East Moline's Watertown neighborhood with some people from the Red Cross, who were doing damage assessment of homes in the area.
