Ceceron and her family were told last Friday they had to leave because it wasn't safe. So for the past few days, they have been living inside their vehicle.

Serious structural problems have caused 300 people to be evacuated from the buildings for the past few weeks.

Following an examination of the seven apartment buildings, engineers have determined it is highly unlikely that any resident will ever enter any of the buildings again; not even to gather the remainder of their belongings.
