TAMPA (CBSMiami) – Dozens of people in Pinellas County are drying out after more than four feet of flood water rushed through their homes on Monday.

Michael Conley knows that flood waters aren't something you mess with.

"I'm in 6 foot 4 water up my waist," he said.

What he doesn't know is who the mess in his front yard now belongs to.

"Half this furniture is not even mine. I don't know who it belongs to," he said.

A deck, seen in the middle of street, also belongs to somebody else.

Donnie Duncan's home was damaged in the storms.

"I got ten and a half inches for Debbie. This time, I got two feet," said Duncan.

He's not the only one. Eighty percent of homes in the Caladesi Mobile Home Park saw some sort of water damage after rain flooded their properties.

"It was so much more than Debbie," said Duncan.

Now, those here are left picking up the pieces and soaking up what's left.

"What I'm nervous about now is mold," said Duncan.

Meantime, a lot of people are also worried about that, wondering what kind of mold damage and health problems they may now be looking at.
