GREENFIELD, Wis. — Every time Terry Crawford walks down to his basement, he envisions what it used to look like before the August floods changed everything.

"It was full of stuff. Most of it got water-logged and we had to get rid of it," Crawford said.

Now he sees the remnants of what used to be a wall. It collapsed during the August floods, making his house unsafe to live in and destroying nearly everything in the basement. Crawford estimates he's looking at $100,000 in damages.

"It was like Sonny Liston hit me in the jaw. It was a big blow. This was our nesting right here," Crawford said.

TMJ4 first heard Crawford's story when Rebecca Klopf interviewed him as he was looking for flood resources in Waukesha.
