Florida residents still recovering and rebuilding 1 year after Hurricane Michael: 'Don't forget about us.'
One year ago on Thursday, Hurricane Michael became the strongest hurricane to make landfall in the United States since 1992 and the second strongest to ever hit the Gulf Coast.
"So, you know, it might be a food truck instead of a restaurant. … There's no homes to live in," Kennedy said, adding that although she would've done some things differently when the hurricane hit, it's made her stronger. When ABC News first met Butcher, the day after the storm, her house had been destroyed and she was trying to get in touch with her parents to let them know her and her husband were safe. A year later, she's living in a trailer provided by FEMA.
"I'm starting from scratch all over again, and I think that's what's even harder," she said."I don't have Robbie, my little soulmate, to keep pushing me. My niece tells me every day, 'Aunt Talia, it's going to be OK.'" The community has lost itself and a lot of people feel [like] they don't matter," Summers said."They do to me. They do to my husband. They do to my daughter and they do to everybody here."
