But it wasn't until Sunday morning, when Valérie Deslauriers returned home and paddled into her living room in a kayak, that she fully understood the gravity of the situation. "It's the kind of situation that you think, 'This cannot happen to me; this will happen in the movies or to someone else.'" A video of the trip, in which she breaks down in tears, has been viewed more than 430,000 times on Facebook. It was a dream house," Deslauriers said. I wasn't supposed to live in this situation, and yet here I am, kayaking in my house, with three feet of water in my living room," she said.
