Acampo neighbors look ahead to winter nearly a year after flooding
In January, hundreds of homes in the San Joaquin County town of Acampo were underwater due to historic rain that led to flooding. Now, not even a year since homeowners were evacuated, neighbors are already looking ahead to winter and the rain that will come with it. At Arbor Mobile Home Park in Acampo, which runs along Highway 99, most homeowners used FEMA funds to fix storm damage. Melissa Youdall fixed the bottom panel of her home in August, eight months after she said water flooded her rain boots and she was forced to evacuate. … FEMA funds paid for her home to be fixed, and although it took months, Youdall said she is relieved that most of the damage has been taken care of — but there is still work to do on her home.
