Many people in the Jacksonville area are dealing with the aftermath of Helene from power outages to destroyed homes.
One tenant said a massive tree fell onto her house in the Royal Terrace late Thursday night.
Tenant Sabrinna Setzer told Action News Jax she is thankful to have family nearby that took her in after her home was crushed by a tree from Helene winds. From the outside the home looks perfectly intact, however, the inside is completely destroyed.
Setzer said she woke up to the tree inside her home. She then took off with her boyfriend and 10-month-old baby girl.
