A horrifying video shows the moment a single mother’s home collapsed and was tossed into a river during a deadly storm in Connecticut . The two-story house was seen crumbling to pieces after hours of heavy rainfall and flooding. The video shows tables and chairs spilling out from the structure moments before the roof collapses, sliding down the embankment below it and onto the rocky bank of the brook, which had swelled up during the storm.
Homeowner Randi Marcucio and her son, 3, managed to escape the tragedy. ‘The river started to take the massive, tall, tall, tall deck pillars’ “You just fall to the ground. There goes everything,” Marcucio told New York Post.
Marcucio is a single mom and ER nurse. She had lived in the Oxford home for two-and-a-half years. She bought the house on Mother’s Day in 2022.
The beautiful narrow Fivemile Brook running along the property enchanted her. Marcucio was preparing to cook dinner last week when the storm caused the brook to surge. The flooding became monstrous, turning the street into a river and washing away chunks of the dirt hill where the home rested.
“The river started to take the massive, tall, tall, tall deck pillars,” Marcucio said. “The deck started to go. The deck went.
The oil tank detached from the house. Over hours, slowly but surely, everything just started to go. The basement started to go.
The basement went. A lot of the basement went. And then the second story was just kind of hanging,” she added.
