Watseka flooding watseka flood Watseka residents Francis and Janet Rabideau escaped from their home at 469 W. Mulberry Street with only one piece of carry-on luggage and a paper bag. They woke up with a small puddle in their back yard and ended up being rescued by boat a few hours later after the water rose up to their front door. "It's just what we had to have real quick," said Rabideau, who placed priority on her husband's prescriptions. Worries left behind Watseka resident Cisco Torres, 24, worries about the pet rotweiller he had to leave behind at his home on 216 N. 6th Street during the boat rescue. While he left plenty of food, he's uncertain when he'll be able to return. The welfare of the dog, the damage to his car and the lack of flood insurance for his belongings are all big concerns. While his house is covered, the contents of the home are not, according to Torres. "Until we go in there, we won't know," said Torres. "The water was over our feet when we left." UPDATE:...
