Months after Ida flooded New York City, some residents still have no real homes for the holidays
CNN
Three months after the remnants of Hurricane Ida pummeled New York City with record-breaking rainfall, displaced residents are still living in temporary housing and waiting for more federal aid to come.
Within minutes, Ida's floodwaters took nearly everything away. Their belongings were damaged and the tiny $1,200-a-month apartment they afforded as housekeepers was ruined. Gamiño and Bibiane Chamorro, along with their dog, Lily, barely escaped with their lives as the deadly storm swept through New York on September 1.
"It was terrible for us," Chamorro told CNN. "In the first few days, I cried a lot."
