It’s stress 225 others are going through, too. Everyone evacuated the building before Hurricane Michael hit. Donna Golema has worked at St. Andrews Towers for years and said this is personal. “My mother lived here and her unit was demolished,” said Golema. With belongings gone, new worries creep in Your home is here, your home is there, your home is everywhere,” said Wilson. “It’d be nice if FEMA comes on down and take care of business so I can find something else to do. Gotta find somewhere to hang out tonight,” said Wilson.

WJHG/WECP has heard from people who live in the building, upset that important documents and personal items have been thrown away without their permission.

EE&G Restoration worked directly with the Management at the complex. They said if belongings are compromised at all they have to be tossed for health and safety reasons and that residents are being let into their apartments if and when apartments are safe to enter. See video
