Flood victims speak out at San Diego City Council meeting

San Diego neighbors who lost everything in flooding three weeks ago packed into city hall Monday as City Councilmembers discussed priorities for the budget. Residents shared how the flooding has turned their lives upside down.

"We are now homeless. Our furniture, every remodeling I just did, everything’s gone," said Mary Landavaso.

Beta Street resident, Jessica, shared a similar experience. She says the flooding happened on her son's birthday.

Stuff is not important. If you have Jesus Christ then you give him the problems. He will always protect you.

Your pets died? While you were at school? Look at that poor child looking at you. You do what we have all done. Grab your pets- and you shouldn’t have any if you didn’t prioritize them if your child was safe at school- and get to higher ground. Jesus
