LEWIS COUNTY, Wash. -- County residents have begun the long process of cleaning up following last week's storm that left some parts of the county in dire mess.

Dozens of families came to get pallet kits, as well as clean blankets, latex gloves, garbage bags, paper towels and other cleaning supplies.

"The Glenoma area, what we're hearing is 30 to 40 homes and in the Morton area, 40 to 50 homes were affected," said Doug Hayden, director of the White Pass Community Services Coalition.

Some of those homes just need cleaning and repairs, but others may not be salvageable. For some residents, the flood hit just as they were starting to recover from the snow storm, during which several roofs collapsed under the weight of heavy, wet snow.

"Overwhelmed," said Jeff Peterson. "There's really no word to fit how we feel."

Road crews, meantime, are working to clear the mud slides that shut down Highway 508. One lane of the roadway has since reopened, but there's a long road of repairs ahead.

The rushing waters of the Tilton River washed out the only bridge to Judy Norris' home. Norris and her two young daughters sat for three days without power until the Coast Guard finally rescued them by air.

"The devastation from the air is just unbelievable from what I saw," she said.

Norris and her neighbors have no idea when they'll get back their bridge. They hope to get some help from the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
