St. Petersberg, Florida – 9 OCtober 2024
1. SOUNDBITE (English) Trokon Nagbe, St. Petersburg resident:
“It (Hurricane Helene) really wasn’t that bad. We didn’t get a lot of, a lot of things. Our lights (were) still on. It was all right. It wasn’t that bad for us. But because they say it’s going to say it was going to be worse than what happened with the last hurricane, saying we might die. We decided to take the warning and come here.”

“Not to my satisfaction, we are still on the floor, sleeping on the floor. And that’s the hardest part for me.”

NAGBE: “Yeah I think it’s a classroom.”
++EDIT ENDS ON SOUNDBITE++
STORYLINE:
Trokon Nagbe and his husband Morris Kulp evacuated their one-story home in St. Petersburg to stay at the storm shelter at Gibbs High School, where as of Wednesday morning some 1,700 people were hunkering down.
The couple didn’t have damage from Hurricane Helene, but heard Hurricane Milton will be much worse and didn’t want to chance it.
They wished they knew to bring their own cots though — the couple said evacuees are sleeping on the floor of the school’s classrooms.
“Sleeping on the floor, that’s the hardest part for me,” Nagbe said.
