Mud, Loss, and Community in Hidden Valley

Flash floods tore through Hidden Valley in Reno, leaving six homes unlivable—including Alan and Teresa Gubanich’s, where 20 years of memories are now buried under thick mud. With no flood insurance and repair costs looming, the couple—Alan, a retired professor, and Teresa, still reeling from the trauma—face financial ruin while neighbors rally around them. Their art studio, filled with cherished paintings, was destroyed, and even after cleanup, mud clings everywhere. Community support pours in, from friends to former students, as Washoe County prepares to declare a state of emergency. The Gubaniches are staying with loved ones and crowdfunding to rebuild—proof that even in devastation, humanity rises. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
