I didn’t feel safe until I was across the street on a grassy field. Even when you're on the cherry picker, you don't know the building is going to fall on you at that time. We're seeing all the fire rescue coming by the dozens. I went out, opened the door again, and saw that there was no escape. My iPhone, my iPad, some watches, my wallet, some lotions and potions, and that was it.īecause of hurricane preparedness, I'm aware of things that you have to take with you and what's needed if you have to shelter somewhere else.

When I open the door, there's like a plume of smoke, gas, whatever that was, just shoots at me, just rushes into the apartment, literally knocks me back. I go to the front door to see what's going on. So I run to the living room, and I can't see anything because of the dust. Five seconds later, debris starts to fall from the ceiling on my face.

I moved to Surfside because I wanted a little peace and quiet at night. My parents are concentration camp survivors. It was a two-bedroom, two-bath, two-balconies, beautiful apartment.
