My niece is in Pt St Lucie and she is bunkered down in her 3rd floor apt. Her 2 oldest girls have gone through hurricanes before, but her 7 yo son is autistic and is terrified because all he has heard at school and on TV. Couldn’t get no batteries or nothing but her ex was “nice” enough to bring by two flashlights and a few gallons of water for her and the kids. Needless to say I started out the week worried about my new Uninsured home in the coastal Carolina’s. (NC), now we will be worried about my niece and the kids. Prayers to all in Matthew path!
Why is she staying ?
Is it a wood frame apartment building ?
The higher up you are in a structure the situation is worse .
The storm is 130 miles wide .
IT will get very, very scary. She really should consider going to a shelter where there will be generators to keep the lights running. Her son may feel safer with more people around to help take his mind off of the storm.
Which apartments does she live in? I am in PSL.
