The Florida couple was trapped in their home after Hurricane Sally lumbered ashore Wednesday morning near Gulf Shores, Alabama, with 105 mph (165 kph) winds.
โI wouldnโt wish it on anyone,โ Elaine Hulgan said.
โWhen they kept going by and not seeing us, I told Jack, โJack, are the four of us going to die in this house?โโ Elaine said.
Elaine Hulgan said theyโre not sure where they might live while their home is being repaired, but theyโre also thankful to be alive.
