Summary
Lettsworth was hit with a historic flood—17 inches of rain in under 24 hours, dousing homes outside traditional flood zones and leaving residents like Carolyn Wells, who’s lived there since 2004, with ruined belongings and shattered routines. Though no injuries or deaths occurred, about 30 homes were affected, sparking a massive cleanup effort. Officials called it unprecedented, a stark reminder of nature’s unpredictability and the community’s resilience in the face of disaster.
