"I went out to the garage and went downstairs to the basement and that's when I could just see everything - you couldn't see through the rain and there was just stuff flying everywhere," says Florence resident Linda Wheeler.
This weather putting a damper on this family's entire Easter plans.
"Well you hope that you know we can spend the time with our grand-kids you know on Easter outside and you know Easter egg hunts and stuff like that but of course with this weather coming through you don't get to do that," says Florence resident Ray Wheeler.
