MELBOURNE, Fla. — Families at a Melbourne apartment complex have to leave their homes on Friday because of flooding.
Residents at the Windover Palms Apartments are vacating 90 units following unprecedented historic flooding last week.
Affected tenants spent Thursday gathering their belongings and searching for alternative housing.
According to tenants, they received notification regarding the necessity to relocate on Thursday and were told they needed to be out by the next day.
Some residents said they have nearly lost all of their possessions while rushing to manage ruined items and save what they can.
One tenant provided Channel 9 with a room-by-room tour and footage depicting water inside his residence following the flood event.
The property owner stated that repairs for the destruction will require approximately six months.
The company reported it is making efforts to assist tenants in securing temporary housing elsewhere.
