SAN DIEGO — 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.
Larry and Yolanda Santos consider themselves lucky, though, after only losing their car while their neighbors were not as fortunate.
More than a month and a half later, Yolanda does not believe Logan Heights is getting the assistance it needs to fully recover.
"I don't think so," she told CBS 8. "People here are doing for their own selves. I don't see anybody out here helping them fix their houses."
That is exactly what Elena Cobb and her partner are now doing. They currently have to hop from hotel to hotel while trying to renovate their home on their own.
"It is taking a little bit too long... longer than it should," she said.
She also believes the government's response to this disaster was not as swift as it should have been.
"It took too long," she said.
Cobb said that she and her neighbors have instead learned to rely on themselves.
CBS 8 asked her what she needed to recover from the flood.
"A stable home," she said with a slight laugh.
