“There is just not a lot we can do,” said Heston Grieve an Evergreen resident.
Grieve even moved his personal items down from his house to the bottom of the hill.
Mindy Odom also lives on Evergreen and said she has more than just personal items to worry about.
“We have animals here and I’ve got people on standby with horse trailers ready to get them out of here,” said Odom.
All of the residents NBC5 News spoke with said they have plans in place and are ready to leave if things get worse.
