Hondo Fire Dept. also rescued 4 people from a home along the Quihi Creek around 8:15 this morning, Sept 22.
“Almost the whole community of Quihi along the creek was underwater this morning,” Schueling added. “Two families had already left, and we rescued four people from one home. There were a total of four homes with water inside, and the water was really close to two others. If water wasn’t in it, it was right at the door.”
Schueling asked residents to avoid CR 2676 going towards Quihi, and also warned Hondo Creek floodwaters was over the road at FM 462 (south of Yancey) and we’ve also had reports of the Hondo Creek over the road on FM 2200.
