New images of the relief efforts underway in Pensacola showed all hands on deck, preparing cots for over 100 people now homeless.
Heavy rain overnight washed out many families from the Forest Creek Apartments in Pensacola. At the Marie K. Young Community Center in Pensacola, 109 people were without a home Friday night, including 55 children.
“We have a family here of seven, a mother with five or six children, and we have some elderly people,” said Terri Jenkins, executive director of the American Red Cross Northwest Florida division.Video captures first- responders lifting children from the back of a humvee. A lifeboat—steering people to dry ground. One man treaded through knee- high waters, and a family stuffed all they could salvage into trash bags. It’s all they may have left.
Jenkins said with expected thunderstorms through the weekend, they could still see a lot more people. “Their spirits, some are a little bit overwhelmed, but we are taking good care of them,” said Jenkins. “I was—just before you called-- feeding a baby a bottle of milk, and there’s a young girl here today that’s celebrating her 2nd birthday so some of the clients are going to plan a birthday party for her tonight.”
