Mary amador, Displaced by fire
"16:34 I broke down and started crying I couldn't even go in there. 13:47 I don't know what's going to happen to us now so I'm scared."
Their home is covered in black soot and drenched after a fire ripped through an apartment building at the naples bath and tennis club early this morning.
Mary:
"12:46 everything is destroyed the roof is all in, there's water everywhere, there's nothing, there's nothing 54"
Only flowers and a family photo are left as a reminder of what once was.
Mary: "13:12 there's nowhere that you can turn that you don't see destruction. 13:30 we just bought her homecoming dress and it's destroyed, everything is destroyed"
Everyone inside the building when the fire started made it out safely.
Resident Steven arnold says they're lucky the whole building didn't burn down.
Steven Arnold, displaced resident
"5:28 I was expecting everything just complete loss, could have been a lot worse."
Back in may an electrical fire burned for hours through the apartment building next door-- displacing dozens of residents.
Todays fire was contained quicker-- and some units were saved.
It's still unclear if both fires were related.
Michael Swanson, North Naples Fire
"5:12 there's a lot of speculation.
5:46 what is the issue and is there an issue I don't know, well find out as time goes and the cause of origin is determined."
While disaster crews work to clean the mess and fix a hole that burned through the roof-- amador and her family will stick together and slowly start to pick up the pieces.
Mary:16:45 thank god were both ok, that's what is important."

LITTLE TASTE OF FALL AHEAD
Dry, stable air is in the process of filtering into Southwest Florida, which will work to drastically lower our rain chances for the next several days.
Instead of tracking those afternoon showers and storms, we'll just be tracking sunshine and a few fair-weather clouds. Come Thursday, we'll even get a break from the oppressively high humidity we've endured for the last several months.
Here's how our Thursday breaks down. In a few areas , we'll start out with some patchy fog. Otherwise, we'll begin with a mostly clear sky and temperatures around 69 degrees… Yes, I said 69 degrees. Sunshine will pretty much dominate our sky through the day, too. Daytime temperatures will peak in the upper 80s to near 90.
Our sky stays clear tomorrow night as well, and with the low humidity levels - it'll feel great! Clear sky, light wind will allow temperatures to bottom out in the upper 60s to lower 70s for yet another night
The subtle drop in humidity will carry over into Friday, making the air feel slightly more splendid. Afternoon temperatures will still be rather warm though. That's what happens with dry air during the fall. Cool mornings and warm afternoons, but thankfully it won't feel oppressive!
Daytime highs will stay mainly in the upper 80s. A refreshing breeze will set up out of the east northeast from 5-15 mph, and we may even get gusts in the 20-25 mph range.
The beautiful weather also rolls along into Saturday. Saturday will feature mainly sunny skies and dry conditions with highs yet again nearing the upper 80s.
By Sunday, there should be enough moisture coming in with the easterly winds to produce a few hit-or-miss showers, but even then, most spots will stay dry.
