By the end of Tuesday, a Kleefeld, Man. woman was out a home following a massive rainstorm that flooded her basement with water and destroyed it.
Khristy Butler’s Tuesday started like any other, but certainly didn’t end that way., Man., was no longer livable due to a rainstorm that wiped out her entire basement, about eight inches of rainfall filling it with six feet of water.“It looks like a tornado came through. Everything was literally floating up here. When I looked down, even my freezer was floating,” she said.“I’ve lost all my pictures, wedding pictures, and things like that,” she said. “It’s just a horror scene in here.
“I don’t care about stuff. You know, it’s not the stuff. It’s the memories that you lose. That’s what’s heartbreaking,” she saidVinyls owned by Khristy Butler’s son were also destroyed in the flooding, along with all his musical instruments and gear.The aftermath now lingers in the smell of soaked carpets, saturated and deteriorating drywall, and of course the sight of the wreckage.“A tornado came through. That’s what it looks like. Looks like a tsunami or whatever it is.
“I’ve had so many offers for help. To help me clean this up. That’s what I want to do — I want to help others as well,” Butler said. After all, she said is not the only one to be living out the nightmare.“I have a neighbour up the street. You know, he took in two feet of water,” she said, noting several others.
Jim Funk, the RM’s reeve, says there’s not much that could’ve been done — and that the RM follows common draining regulations.
