The water started slowly.

But then quickly overtook the home of Chris and Brit Connelly of Ico in Grant County Friday night into the wee hours of Saturday morning.

Arkansas suffered major storms starting last Wednesday and into the weekend. The storms brought tornadoes, straight line winds, power outages and flooding.

While prepared for the storms, the Connellys suddenly needed help especially as water destroyed Chris' wheelchair ramp. Chris is a disabled veteran.
