Terrifying Flood Rescue in Clermont Narratives
Mrs James Crawford describes a house high on blocks as floodwaters engulfed Clermont. She clung to debris, drifted down the creek, and was rescued after hours of peril with help from Mrs Chalk and others. Other survivors include Mrs Searle and local volunteers who risked life to save neighbours amid wreckage and rising currents.
