The aftermath of Hurricane Florence damaged several homes in Dillon County.
“I just feel sorry for everything that’s been happening to them, because it’s sad. Especially to a little town Dillon,” said Kiarra Ford.
Diane Manning has been living in same neighborhood for over 10 years. This is the second time Diane has experienced several inches of water inside her home.
Back in 2016, Hurricane Matthew destroyed the neighborhood near Howard Street.
“We were just getting situated and then this. We can’t help it but I just thank God, you know for our life,” said resident, Diane Manning.
Residents had their belongings in the front yard, hoping they can salvage some of their personal items.
“We have a couple of items. A bit of clothes that we saved, some electronics just in case we need to reach someone,” said Diane’s son, Deon’te Manning.
The family said the railroad signs behind their home were pushed to their front yard. One neighbor had a utility pole land right next to their house. Fortunately, no one was hurt.
“They’re still fixing the railroad. There’s a bunch of rocks and missing scrap metals,” said Deon’te.
Their vehicle was damaged by Florence and don’t know if it will be repairable.
“Saturday afternoon, all the way to Tuesday night, the water had recently went down,” said Deon’te.
The Manning family hopes to move to a new home soon.
