A family is caught in between county and city lines following an annexation into the city of Alton.
Their house is flooded, and while they're technically out in the country, they say property across the street that was annexed by the city is bringing in more flooding.
"If there's any more rain it's going to come into our kitchen," Alicia Garcia said.
Garcia says despite many attempts to call the city, they haven't been helped. Technically, flooding on Garcia's property is the county's jurisdiction.
