Flood victims learn about options for aid

ARCOLA – The worst of the flooding was about a month ago, but Douglas County residents are still struggling to deal with the aftermath of water sweeping through their yards, basements and living spaces.

At one point, it was 6 inches deep through Dara and Gary Kidwell's home on Tuscola's north side. It created a current through their home, which sits on a concrete slab.
