Renters forced to leave complex before flood repairs begin

Our big story at 5 30 tonight, a sad situation in Melbourne. Some people have until tomorrow to leave their homes after last week's devastating flash floods. An apartment complex told them leave so they can start cleaning up. But as Esther Bauer reports now, some of them have nowhere to go and could end up on the streets. They already lost everything. Now they have to get off property by Friday. This was my savior place. I'm 70 years old and I've got nowhere to go. This disabled senior is just sitting on his front porch, hoping someone can help him before he runs out of time. I don't know where to go. You know, I learned all the laws. But I haven't gotten much of an education, you know, being 70 years old. I can't work a computer. You know, His apartment flooded last week but it was this notice just left on his door that shattered his world. It says several residents at Windover Palms on Fitness Circle must vacate by 11:30. The apartment wants to start the cleanup process, and the repairs will take too long, so they're terminating their leases. We have to be out by tomorrow. Chris Long just moved in this fall with his daughter. He hadn't even finished unpacking when he lost it all. Flooded the couches, beds, televisions, everything. Everything goes. Gone, laying on the side of the street with some wondering if that's where they'll end up after these floods. I need to wind up back in the woods. And we did call the apartment complex to try and get an update on what was happening to these residents. The person who answered that phone said they were not making a comment and they were not speaking to the media. Reporting in Brevard County, Esther Bauer, Fox 35 News.
