Ken and Cindy Colliers’ story:

While yet dark in the early morning hours of the 4th of July, Ken and Cindy were awakened by the sound of “something” hitting their home in Hunt, Texas. They couldn’t imagine what was hitting their house with such fierceness. As they got oriented in the dark they realized that their house was actually moving, floating away from their property and striking debris as it rushed along with flood waters till the house struck a tree and water tower down stream. At that point rescuers on ATV’s got to them and moved them to safety."

 

The work of Operation Renewed Hope continues in Kerrville, TX after the disastrous flooding in the area.
