SUMMARY: Hurricane George tore the roof off a shelter, causing severe damage and flooding. Skylights were also destroyed. Many people lost personal belongings and had to stay at Coast Community College with limited resources. The hurricane hit the coast with 105 mph winds, leading to building damage, power outages, and flooded roads. As the hurricane stalled, some areas were expected to receive almost 30 inches of rain throughout the day. This devastating event will have a lasting impact on the affected individuals, prompting one person to consider relocating to Arkansas to avoid such disasters.
