CAPE CORAL, Fla. -- Blue tarps throughout one neighborhood in the Cape show the homes most damaged by early January's tornado. Among them is the home of Rafael Nunez.
 
Originally from The Dominican Republic, Nunez and his wife live on one of the streets hit worst by the tornado. "Huge windows were blown out," he said. "We had to run to the bathroom."
 
His wife suffers from a respiratory illness so his greatest concern is the water that continues to leak through the ceiling. "I took all the water out the bucket this morning and now there's more," said Nunez. He is concerned about mold.
 
His backyard, pool area and an interior wall were also severely damaged. Now he is waiting for insurance to come and start repairs.
