The Far River by Barbara Wood5/19/2023 He’s not one to take handouts, Dickie said, but “when you need help, you need help.” He said he will probably look for a used mobile home to replace the one destroyed by the water. “I’m kind of wondering what my next house is going to look like because this one’s not habitable any more,” Dickie said. Red Cross volunteer Roberta Jones and Leslie Jordan, mayor of San Juan Bautista, unload meals for residents of the Mission Farm RV Park. “It’s just a horrible muddy mess,” Dickie said. The enclosed porch was totaled as is his mobile home. While the water receded within about 24 hours, when Dickie returned home, he found 1.5 feet of standing water inside. The two took one of their vehicles to dry land but by the time they came back to move the other, water had already crept inside the mobile home. By the time they got everything into the mobile home, water was knee high. Dickie said that even before waters from several adjacent creeks and a nearby subdivision’s retention pond started pouring into the park, he and his son found their way out was blocked by flooded streets strewn with large underwater rocks.Īs water started to come in, the two tried to move his collections from an enclosed porch into his 1986 Avion mobile home. Dickie said he lost his mobile home and about 70 percent of his possessions to the flooding and mud that followed. Mission Farm RV Park homeowner, Kerry Dickie, thanks American Red Cross volunteers for the cleanup kits and food delivered to his neighbors.
