A large number of homes were severely impacted by the flooding, with a number of them no longer habitable.

Meanwhile, FEMA representatives are doing site surveys in Spencer for two to three bedroom units that would provide housing for up to 18 months.
City officials say they’re also gauging the impact on renters as Robinson mentioned…
City officials say they may start to get at least some idea on the impact the flood has had on Spencer’s population through school registration numbers.
