For Carmen Aquino and her family, the damage was personal and immediate.
"Se rompió el cristal," Aquino said, standing beside her shattered windshield. But the broken glass was only part of the problem. Aquino's vehicle, her daughter's, and her husband's work car were all damaged by falling debris.
"We heard a boom, and we didn't see the car or anything," said Aquino, who has lived in her apartment complex for seven years.
The storm's winds, which she said picked up around 8 p.m., left her husband unable to get to work.
"My husband was supposed to be working today. He can't go to work because it covers the window shield. I have a lot of medical problems, so I don't know what we're going to do," she said.
Aquino is not alone in her struggles. Nanette McDowell, another resident, described waking up to find her car buried under branches and debris.
"This right here, I never seen before," McDowell said.
McDowell, who said she lives on a fixed income, worried about the extent of the destruction.
"I was just hoping and praying, you know, my window wasn't busted or anything. But. Yeah. It is shattered," she said.
Both Aquino and McDowell say they've raised concerns about the property's aging trees with management before, but feel their voices have gone unheard.
"It's like we're not being heard?" McDowell said they made repeated attempts to contact the property manager on Friday morning without success.
With damaged cars and pressing medical needs, Aquino faces uncertainty in the days ahead.
"Tengo muchos problemas de salud. Vamos a ver cómo solucionamos," she said, "I have a lot of health problems. We'll see how we figure this out."
ABC11 has also reached out to the property manager for comment, but has not yet received a response.
