Family rebuilds life after Florence floods Maryland home
The Byrne family of Franks Avenue north of Bridgeton describes a long recovery after Hurricane Florence in September 2018. Floodwaters from the Neuse River damaged their newly remodeled home, leaving visible water lines and a makeshift RV home in the yard. They salvaged what they could and endure the slow process of tearing out warped floors and mildewed furniture while adjusting to a new normal.
