With more flooding expected, Lake Country residents are preparing for round two.
A longtime Lake Country resident isn't letting mother nature have the upper hand.
Vernon Creek spilled it's banks last week and went directly into Pat Fichter's backyard, resulting in electricity being cut off to her home, which she's owned for the past 24 years.
"I have about four to five feet of water in my basement. I have to go put gas in the (water) pump."
Fichter knew she was in trouble late last week.
"When I looked down and saw about a foot of muddy water in my basement."
What does she do as the water level continues to rise?
"I will just continue to sandbag and pray".
The situation for Ellison homeowners is slightly better.
Leslie Johal was busy Thursday filling sandbags to protect her property on Bowman Road, where Mill Creek runs directly behind it.
"So far we have saved my house. There has to be about 15 hundred sandbags around my home", she says with a chuckle. "We are hoping for the best and expecting the worse".
If things indeed become worse, would Johal leave her home?
"It is very saddening to know that their are people that possibly are out here to scope what's going on. We are on high alert. We are yelling at people coming down the road, telling them to get out of here unless they are here sandbagging or packing things out of people's homes. There is no reason to come down and just check things out".
Johal says a neighbour had two dirt bikes stolen during last weeks flood.
