WE'VE SET SOME OF THE STUFF BACK UP. WE'RE TRYING TO CLEAN WALKWAYS NOW.))
The business owners weren't alone in their misery. Almost every resident could show you their own property damage, but most paled in comparison to Sara Wade Owen's front yard on Hodges Street. She came home to find this giant oak tree had toppled and taken a chunk out of her house.

T.J. Glasscock played under that old oak tree as a child. Today, 70 years later, he was watching power crews from Tennessee working to put the lights back on at his neighborhood. They'd been without electricity since early Friday. Standup
So, with the water gone, and the road re-opened, things are slowly returning to normal here in Riverdale and South Boston. But for businesses like the Ratliff Grocery, it will be a long time before the memories of this flood have washed away. Steve Smallshaw, News 7, Halifax County.))
