Olivia and Rick have returned to their old home to see the damage left behind from the Fourth of July. "In ‘78 and ‘87 and all these little floods, never devastation like today," Olivia said. The hundred-year-old cypress trees on the riverbank that Rick climbed as a kid are now twisted and toppled.

Residents and property owners across the Hill Country, like the Chappins, are still assessing the destruction caused by the flood.
