BROADCAST TRANSCRIPT:
Hurricane Debby came through Perry Wednesday morning, leaving in a trail of downed power lines, debris, and flooding.
All things neighbors must begin to recover. Finding out from neighbors why this clean up process is something they've done one too many times, and why they don't want it to happen again.
For some neighbors, damage from Hurricane Debby, feels all too familiar.
"I lost my house during the Tallahassee tornado," said neighbor, Christine Webster.
Webster moved to Perry just three weeks ago after damage from the May 10th tornado moved her out of her home.
"Now we have a branch through our bathroom, and a tree branch through the bedroom," said Webster.
It seems Mother Nature does not want to give up.
"You just lost everything, and now everything's steadily getting wet, it's all getting ruined all over again," said Webster.
And the clean up process seems daunting, however, Webster said, because of her son, she's determined to keep positive.
Emergency Management said comfort stations are open for people seeking resources at these locations:
- Parking area behind the Forest Capital Hill
- Econfina River Resort parking lot
- Salem Baptist Church
- Vacant lot next to Big Bend Water Authority in Steinhatchee
- Mit's Mart in Shady Grove
- Keaton Beach Boat Ramp overflow parking lot
The Division of Emergency Management says these facilities will be removed when the majority of power is restored.
