CAPE CORAL, Fla. — For the past four months, the Tranquility Lake RV Park by Burnt Store Road has housed nearly 100 families who’ve lost their homes to Hurricane Ian. We found out that the number is getting lower.
According to FEMA, there are now 76 trailers at the park. Only 69 of them are being used. At its height, 98 families were living in trailers. FEMA said those who left either returned to their homes, found a new home or are staying at a different site.
Michelle Alexander lives near the park. She said she was skeptical of the park when it was first introduced in February but has had no problems.
“I find it not to be an issue at all. And the city put in the turn lanes and everything, so it’s not any trouble getting home or anything like that,” said Alexander.
One woman told us she’s seen more traffic since February, but most, like neighbor Lucy, are happy people have a place to stay.
“I’m glad they are there, and they can have a home for a while,” said Lucy.
