I am hoping for the best. About 20 years ago, I helped a friend try to clean up after the Tar River and its tributaries in eastern NC flooded. His house backed up to a creek that fed into the Tar. The water rose 25 ft (above flood level, I think) and flooded the entire first floor about six feet high, his attached garage to the roof, and his detached garage about 8 ft high. His Ram IV GTO and a 66 Mustang his wife owned since it was new were both submerged. When I got to his house, it was a strange sight. Everything that was submerged was the same monochrome color of red/tan from the red clay. The cleanup was a long and strenuous process.
