Some people in the Fort Myers area are left with huge losses after Hurricane Helene despite having hurricane insurance.
Your Fort Myers community correspondent, Miyoshi Price, met with a woman displaced with her two children due to the damage to her apartment while trying to navigate insurance coverage.
A Fort Myers woman feels deceived learning her hurricane insurance won’t help
Aleshia Day and other residents of the Riverwalk Apartments tell FOX 4 the staff has been working around the clock to move their first-floor renters out of the units affected by Helene.
There was a lot of manual labor taking place within the last week, such as ripping out baseboards and drywall to replace flood damage.
Day told us that she filed a claim with her insurance company on Friday in hopes of getting some relief to replace the personal items she lost during the storm.
“I was paying for a hurricane deductible,” says Day. “This took place during a hurricane, so I’m just really confused and kind of upset at why she denied the claim.”
