Mr. Walters, 56, anxiously stands outside of his house in Richlands, North Carolina, where the flooded creek in his backyard had created a moat around his home.
Walters said there was still about six feet to go before the waters reached his house, but he was going to hold out for as long as he could, because it would be difficult to move his son who is disabled. He also said he loved his house, and proceeded to list all of his possessions that he feared he would lose.
