In October, Hurricane Matthew devastated parts of Hampton Roads and North Carolina.
Massive trees were knocked over, rain-flooded streets forced people to abandon their cars, and some residents could only watch as their homes filled with water.
Virginia Wasserberg was one 
of them.
"It was scary. I'm not gonna lie. I didn't sleep the whole night," Wasserberg told News 3.
Wasserberg lives in the hard-hit area of Windsor Woods in Virginia Beach.
We caught up with her in early January, three months after Matthew. She had just moved back into her home and construction to repair the damage was still underway.
"All the furniture got wet, and all the floors got wet, all the walls got wet, insulation," Wasserberg explained.
It was something she never thought she'd experience where she lived.
