Not long after the flood water began to recede, John Fogle, 2137 Irwin St., became alarmed by the mold he saw growing on his mobile home.
“It started to show up on the outside of my home,” he said. “It only takes 72 hours for it to show.”
Fogle’s concern only increased after he removed a section of an interior wall and found black mold growing there.
“The black mold is my main concern. It’s definitely not good on the lungs,” said Fogle, whose wife of 15 years, Marsha, has emphysema.
Compounding Marsha Fogle’s breathing problems is the fact the family’s air conditioning unit went under water during Tuesday’s flash flood and is no longer working.
