Flood survivors turned heroes helping others, 4 months after the January flood

Four months after the first raindrops fell on January 22, it’s still not easy for Angie Landavazo to talk about everything that happened that day.

"I didn't think it was going to be hard," Landavazo said after getting emotional.

"Within 15 minutes, the water was at my house,” Landavazo said. “It was like a very strong current. It knocked down my gate, the wrought iron gate, our garage door was bent."

"We had to come out through a top window from the second floor and come out of there into a kayak come out through the roof," Landavazo said.

Landavazo now works as a case manager at the Global Empowerment Mission’s long term recovery warehouse helping other flood victims while she and her family continue living out of a hotel and rebuilding their home. Moving back into their home is still a couple of months away.
