00:04They packed tight layers of dirt on top into a ridge
00:07and covered the whole thing with plastic tarps.
00:10And when the flood hit, the water rushed against the outside,
00:14getting blocked by the ridge.
00:15And for seven days, the rain kept coming,
00:18so they kept packing even more dirt on top.
00:22Eventually, nearly 60 other homes were destroyed,
00:25And the entire town was almost completely covered by water
00:29While their house was perfectly dry.
