"I haven't been able to sleep," she said. "I can't close my eyes because that's what I see. I see my granddaughter, where I put her. I left her there and I couldn't get her out.
"My husband was by the window. I couldn't help him either and the water took him away."
Houses and businesses in the town - left without electricity or drinking water - are fully or partially filled with mud and other debris.
Jose Medina recalled how the water streaming into his home had reached waist level, trapping his family, so he turned his fridge onto its side and used it as a boat for his granddaughter, while he and his wife held on to it.
He described their survival as a "miracle".
