Neighbors were helping Upper Bear Creek resident Mark Footer clean up his yard and garage on Saturday afternoon while two backhoe operators shoveled debris from the property.
“The creek just covered the whole valley,” Footer said, describing the recent heavy rains that caused Bear Creek to rise over its banks.
Although his yard is soggy and many items in his garage were ruined, only one room of his home suffered damage, Footer said.
“We really came out well,” he said.
