— The Salt River in Shepherdsville has receded enough for residents and business owners to begin mucking out
As soon as water levels dropped low enough on Thursday
Pastor Nathan Young and his Mercy Hill congregation went to work
Everything tainted by flood waters must go or be thoroughly cleaned
“Over the next few days we’ll get all the drywall torn out
By Thursday morning the Salt River receded within a few feet of Mercy Hill’s front door
enough for volunteers to push out the water still inside
it’s just such a mess,” one volunteer said
Their mission is to move fast and avoid problems with mold
At the same time Pastor Young can’t help but think of his neighbors affected by the destructive flooding
“We’ve had people from our own congregation that have been rescued by boat
But this is an opportunity for us to be the Church and be reminded that the church is really not a building
“Brush and Balance” opened their storefront to help collect donated cleaning supplies
The business only had a few inches of water in the front of building that was cleaned out on Wednesday
The water was deeper in the back of the building and in storefronts next door
Shepherdsville Fire Department power washed the street to clear away the mud and silt left behind
