Cache Creek flood victims slowly getting lives back
Cache Creek resident Charlene Milward is seeing her now former home for the first time in months. She still can’t believe the destruction, six months after it was gutted on the evening of May 23, 2015.
The house was the hardest hit on Stage Road when a rush of water brought 20 feet of debris onto the property, completely filling her basement with mud.
But today, nothing has changed. The house looks like it did the days following the flood.
“It’s terrible, but I can’t really do anything with it while the culvert’s still plugged, so just waiting to hear back from the Village,” says Milward, who’s been living in a rental suite since the flood.
