just had a sick feeling all day long. >> about midnight, i remember the sand kind of came over that wall and it reached our patio, like, within minutes. >> the time that we decided to evacuate was i think some time around 1:30 a.m. on monday morning. >> when the frams returned by daylight, it's an alarming scene. the lake water has found its own exit route. it's flowing over the lake shores and downhill across the county highway. it's a serious turn of events, but could be good news for the frams. >> tim said i think we might be okay, because it might take the water away from our home. >> but so much fast-flowing water has the force of a raging locomotive and the highway starts to crumble under the momentum. >> 5,000 pound pieces were falling into a creek that was newly created between the river and the lake.
