when the waters subsided

Bear's house, across the street from me, was destroyed. It was taken down .

The street in front of my house, once the flood waters subsided.
 Three years ago today, a seven-foot wall of water swept through Thomasville, Mo., and my house. The town was wiped out, but no one was killed. One did have to be rescued from his second floor. Many lost their houses, trucks, campers, TVs, livestock and life savings, not only monetary. On the same day, a car t-boned Hannah and Chris and their car was overturned and spun around on its roof on a bridge. Was that some day?
   Well, we're all ok. And Thomasville was recovering until this latest setback. I mean, as much as a dying town of 50 people can recover.

Mighty spiff, huh? But you should see the cafe across the street—if it ever reopens.
