CORAL SPRINGS, Fla. – Residents living in two Coral Springs apartment buildings had to be evacuated and many are now searching for a place to live.
After the torrential rains on Saturday, residents grabbed whatever they could before leaving the buildings located at 1225 Riverside Drive and on Northwest 39th Court.
The water damage inside some units in the building on 39th Court, the Sherwood Forest Multi-Family Complex, was so bad that city inspectors deemed the entire structure unsafe.
The Riverside Drive building was evacuated because excess water leaked into its electrical panel.
The American Red Cross is working to assist some residents with a place to stay.
Other say they don’t know where they are going to go.
Power to the building has been shut off.
Officials said there is no timeline as to when residents will be allowed back into the building.
