Jones woke up around 1 a.m. Sunday. In a short amount of time, she saw a small trickle of water turn into much, much more.
What they're saying:
"As I got down here, I just started crying," Jones said. "I was coming down the stairs and the water was coming through the window."
Three feet of water rose in the basement of her home. It destroyed everything in its path. That included medical supplies needed for her son who has muscular dystrophy. One machine that operates a cough-assist vest was destroyed.
"I’m like losing it every way I turn around," Jones said.
