EYEWITNESS NEWS ANCHOR KERA MASHEK TALKED WITH SOME OF THEM WHO ARE JUST GRATEFUL FOR WHAT THEY DO HAVE. LISA NALLEY AND HER FAMILY ARE WORN OUT--AFTER SPENDING THE PAST WEEK CLEANING UP THE MESS MOTHER NATURE LEFT BEHIND DURING FLASH FLOODING IN SPENCER. JUST WHEN THEY THOUGHT THE WORST WAS OVER, HEAVY RAINS TUESDAY PUT THEM BACK AT SQUARE ONE. Nalley-We didn't have much left anyway, and what we did, what we were able to save you know, I thought, 'It's just material things. Let it go.' I cried enough and now I just want it to be over with. I just want to start over. BUT THIS FAMILY'S NOW REALIZING THEIR WORTH GOES FAR BEYOND THE "STUFF" THEY OWNED. Nalley-You look at everything you work so hard for and then to have to throw it away--to me, that's the worst part is having to let go of everything. But I mean, we have each other, great friends and neighbors. So that's the one thing I'm most grateful for out of all this. SEVERAL ORGANIZATIONS HAVE SPENT COUNTLESS HOURS MAKING SURE ROANE COUNTY RESIDENTS HAVE EVERYTHING THEY NEED TO CLEAN UP AND CARRY ON FOLLOWING THE FLOODING DISASTER. ..AGENCIES THAT ARE IMPRESSED BY THIS COMMUNITY'S RESOLVE.
