A year after historic flooding in Whatcom County, dozens of people whose homes sustained severe damage are still displaced. Many are unlikely to move back in before 2023. A cold November wind blows through the walls of the home belonging to Cristian and Emily Colacillo, which is still without windows. The couple's house has been torn down to the studs. Holes and cracks pock the splintered floorboards. The home had three feet of water inside when last year's historic floods hit, and very little has changed. "I assumed we'd be home by now, that we'd be back to normal and not be literally in the exact same spot as before," said Emily Colacillo. "A year later, I'm no closer to coming home than I was the day I left. That's frustrating and difficult." Back-to-back floods ravaged the northern Whatcom County towns of Sumas, Nooksack and Everson in November 2021, damaging 2,000 properties, causing $200 million in losses and killing one man. The Colacillos have now been out of their house longer than they were in it. The couple and their two daughters had lived there just 8 months when the floods hit. Twelve months later they're still living in an apartment, paying rent as well as the mortgage for a house that needs to be torn down. The family was ready for a rebuild but between the original quote and today, the price jumped about $150,000.
