It’s a complete disaster.
“I can’t ever imagine it being habitable again. I can’t salvage a thing. It’s not my home anymore. I heard the wall collapse, there was a huge bang and then I saw a big brown ton of mud coming into the garden.
“We kept wishing the rain would stop but it never did.
“When it was around one metre from the front door we had to run.”
