Kellen Driscoll bought his Shore Acres home in 2019.
The four-bedroom home built in 1960 had no flood history.
It flooded for the first time four years ago when tropical storm Eta dumped over 3 feet of water. Then it happened again, and again. Like many others there, he put his home up for sale this year. After seeing little interest, he cut the asking price.
Hurricane Helene pushed more than 6 feet of storm surge in the neighborhood. The rushing waters ripped the “For Sale” sign off his front lawn, and etched a waterline that reached halfway up his front door, just underneath the doorbell. He reduced the asking price for a fifth time.
“We flooded here four times in the last four years,” said Driscoll, as he threw his television sets, furniture, appliances and other belongings to the curb. “I’m just hoping I can sell the house. It’s a good neighborhood for sure, but dealing with the floods is horrible.”
