00:00 The powerful winds from Hurricane Edelia ripped part of the brick wall right off
00:05 of this apartment building here in Perry, Florida. Some of the residents
00:08 here tell us it was a scary situation. Dwayne Williams was inside a second
00:13 floor unit and had the wind ripped part of the roof right off. I felt the roof
00:17 coming off, so I grabbed my three year old son and I ran downstairs to the
00:21 downstairs room and they opened the door for me and mom and dad. But it was
00:26 real trouble going on up there. A lot of stuff slinging everywhere. Water was
00:30 going everywhere and all. Yeah, everything's gone.
00:33 But it had to bounce back from it, I guess. Families are now out just
00:39 starting to clean up and officials are warning people if you are going to be
00:42 out here, be careful with the downed power lines and also with so much wind
00:46 and so much rain, there's a potential of even more trees that could come down
00:50 here along Florida's nature coast in Perry, Florida for Accuweather and
00:55 Waddle.
