“I can’t even begin to describe it,” Boyer said by phone. “A sobering moment was waking up this morning to the sound of helicopters.”
Boyer is a half-mile from his house, which he believes has about 7 inches of water damage. But getting to his house to confirm the damage is practically impossible due to the flooded roads, he said.
“I’ve tried a couple of times to go over there,” Boyer said. “I think at best I would have had to go through 6 or 7 feet of standing water to get to my house.”

Boyer encouraged donations to the American Red Cross.
“Any bit of time or treasure that you can spare is going to go a long way, because I can’t even imagine how much damage we’re dealing with,” he said.
