Description
While Wednesday's rains did not lead to the the devastating flooding we saw in southeastern San Diego earlier this year, many residents there are still displaced from their homes because of January's torrential downpours.
Logan Heights was one of those communities hit particularly hard.
These recent rains, while not nearly as intense as those back on January 22, are bringing back painful memories of that day, especially on Gregory Street in Logan Heights, where many residents are still struggling to recover.
"It has been rough... rough!" said Logan Heights resident Elena Cobb, who added that she lost nearly everything in January's floods.
"There's literally nothing... no appliances," she told CBS 8.
Along with everything inside her home, she also lost two cars parked outside.
"Red Cross has helped a little bit," she added, "and FEMA has reached out to us and we are working right now to try to get help from them as well."
Just across the street, FEMA proven not as helpful to the Santos family, who said they were rejected for federal assistance.
