About 11 p.m. one night this spring, Kenya Tilson woke up to a funny noise in her Omaha apartment.
“I got up and there was water on the floor and it was (making a sound) in the fan,” she said. “It was already flowing over my whole foot and was coming in fast. It got up to about my knee.”
She roused her 3-year-old daughter and started gathering everything they needed to leave — clothes, keys, other essentials.
“I didn’t know if it was going to stop,” she said.
