floodwaters are receding

After more than a weeklong of severe flooding, floodwaters are beginning to recede. Officials believe at the rate the waters are receding, residents will be able to safely move back into the cities. The official damage estimate has risen to $3 billion, of which $1 billion is crop damage. Farmers are reaching out for help from FEMA. Some farmers faced a total loss as their newly planted crops drown in the flooding, some were lucky as they didn't get to planting due to wet weather. The governor called the residents resilent and was convinced that the cities will become stronger than ever after rebuilding.

Please correct any mistakes.
Thanks.
