WINTER SPRINGS, Fla. — Lisa Roney was awake in the overnight hours watching the power of Tropical Storm Ian when the water started coming in the back door.
Her husband grabbed a shop vac while Roney, 62, guided rivers of water out the front door with a mop. Two soaked rugs and some soggy drywall later, Roney said they prevented the worst.
“We were desperate,” the retired professor said. “We knew we did not have flood insurance, so we just worked our asses off to save our house.”
