One by one, Neysa Much and her son Allen wrap up pieces of china, clearing the cabinets of some precious family memories. "I've just been collecting everything over a lifetime," Neysa Much said. The china is one of many things getting packed up right now as Much cleans out her home of 53 years. Flood waters struck her Shore Drive home and have yet to leave part of the house's crawl space, not to mention the walk into her house. "It will probably be 2 to 3 weeks before they can get in the house, FEMA, then we're going to decide if we can rebuild or whatever," Neysa Much said. The work Saturday focused on salvaging the small stuff. Along with the china, there was food boxed in the kitchen. Fans were also at at work, blowing throughout the home to stop the mold smell coming from these walls. "We're going to get a truck tomorrow and haul the big stuff out and put bleach on walls and floors and kill the mold," Allen Much said. So more work ahead for this family. But folks like the Much's aren't getting "buckled" by the mess that's destroyed some flooring. "I tell everyone, look at is an adventure," Neysa Much said. "It's rough but it will come back, it was well-built, it will come back," Allen Much said. Neysa Much says FEMA help will still be vital in recovering her home. She met with a representative yesterday at the Machesney Park village hall to learn about the upcoming home inspection.
