No one expects to evacuate from their home in the middle of the night, wading through chest-deep water to find a way out of an emergency.

We just don't think it'll happen to us.

But for Shamrock Steele and her husband, Dave Lanphear, it did.

Shamrock and Dave survived the Skagit floods in November 2021.

They made it out in the middle of the night, in their pajamas, with their young grandkids and pets.

Their completely remodeled house that they were just about to move into, however, did not.

Then days turned to months as they figured out what to do next and how to rebuild.

And that's when they met The Salvation Army.
