St. Lucie County homeowners who lost everything in Wednesday’s tornado outbreak are starting to get much-needed help through a multi-agency effort held at Havert L. Fenn Center in Fort Pierce, where displaced people can go and learn what’s available to them..
They’re getting connected with state agencies to get information on what’s next after massive destruction.
Many people, like Joanne Lebron and Donna Panzarella, it’s back to square one.
They told WPTV Reporter Victor Jorges that they don’t expect to get power for another five days.
“It’s a day-by-day thing,” said Lebron.
Others, like Osmara Gonzalez, are still replaying the images in their head of the ominous tornadoes seen Wednesday.
“I saw a car flip, RV flip,” she said. Her home was also damaged.
She was at the event with her church, helping people who only speak Spanish by translating for them.
People can be seen anxiously looking for information.
Brandon Matthews did not know what to expect.
“I’m coming to see what they have to offer, then I’ll go from there,” Matthews said.
