At least 126 properties in Volusia County received some sort of flood damage during the heavy rains earlier this week, placing the preliminary price tag at $3.6 million.

Margie Spry is one of those to receive damage. And as the weekend begins, she still finds it difficult to see what's in front of her. “I don't know. I don't know. I'm like, I'm just like still in shock,” said Spry.

And while restoration crews wait outside her home, she admits it's almost too much for her to handle.

“I'm just getting the things that are waterlogged and throwing them in the dumpster and emptying out the garage,” Spry added.

Spry says she expects to start work inside her home, removing walls and flooring, on Monday.

A few miles away in New Smyrna Beach, the Thomas family is well underway in their recovery efforts with fans in every room of their home and crews working on removing the bottom few feet of drywall.

Yet they still can't believe at how fast everything unfolded.

“This one came like within 45 minutes. All of a sudden water was coming in the house. We didn't even know what to do,” said Gail Thomas.

Robert and Gail Thomas have lived in their house on Westwood Avenue in New Smyrna Beach for about 30 years now. This was not their first flood, but that doesn't make this clean-up any easier.

Yet Robert Thomas tries to remain upbeat. It's all he can do.

“We are thankful for how everything has worked out. You know, it could have been worse,” said Robert Thomas.

“Yeah. I mean, there could be worse things that could happen," echoes his wife Gail. "And we have insurance which is a positive thing.”

The Thomas' did lose quite a bit in this go-around with the flood waters though, because there was no time to get ready.

Much of what they lost were personal items, which cannot be replaced.

But they have no plans of leaving their home for higher ground any time soon.

Health officials in Volusia County urge anyone with flood damage to get it taken care of quickly in hopes of stopping the spread of dangerous mold.

And there are still some of the lower-lying areas still with standing water on the roadways.
