Rescue workers search mobile homes in Lady Lake, Florida.
As we pulled into the Lady Lake mobile home park in Florida, the first thing we notice is sheet metal hanging from trees. Some of the park's mobile homes were lifted right off their concrete pads and tossed more than 400 yards away, their metal exteriors catching in trees along the way.
Gene Barthauer, 86, was in bed last night when he heard the horrific winds whipping past. The next thing he knew his house was ripped apart. He waited beneath the rubble for nearly 20 minutes before neighbors came with flashlights.
Now, Gene and his neighbors use crowbars and hammers trying to dig down to his closet. He has no insurance -- it was cancelled last year. All he wants is to find the jacket his daughter Lynne gave him -- a Michigan jacket.
Across the street is a stark reminder of how lucky he is to even have some rubble to pick through. The only thing left of the home across the street is a sofa and the bare concrete pad on which it stands.
The elderly woman who lived there was killed. Her body was found with much of her mobile home in an adjacent field.
For Gene, life in Florida is over. He says he is going to move north to live with his daughter. About an hour after we arrive, there are cheers -- Gene found his beloved jacket.
