GENEVA, Fla. - Hurricane Ian hit Central Florida six months ago and some people in Seminole County are still struggling.
Geneva homes along Lake Harney were hit hard by Hurricane Ian, as residents experienced massive flooding causing extensive damage.
Angela Zwarycz lives in Geneva and her home was flooded and since gutted, so she's been staying in a trailer outside of her house.
"A lot of prayers. A lot of prayers. I joined three prayer groups since this. That’s all I can do. It will all work out. It can only get better from here," Zwarycz said.
She was using assistance from the state to pay to rent the trailer, but is worried that help has run out.

Watch: Seminole County homeowner takes FOX 35 on tour of flooded home
FOX 35 News reporter Stephanie Buffamonte walked through a home in Geneva that was flooded due to Hurricane Ian. Everything in the home is under two feet of water, similar to many other homes in the Seminole County area.
"I would say I’m thankful to have the camper and a roof over my head, my animals, but it’s just a long process with FEMA. A waiting game," she said.
Seminole County worked to rescue people from flooded waters during and after Hurricane Ian. Seminole County Fire Rescue said they will have better equipment to help more people this hurricane season with two new rescue vehicles.
"Newer truck, higher water capability, more reliable it holds a lot more people it goes from 12 to 28 people and also saw a need for people in wheelchairs, this will have a lift gate," said Chief Matt Kinley with the Seminole County Fire Department.
