South Florida woke up to some of its coldest weather yet Sunday morning, with temperatures reaching near-record lows in parts of southeastern Florida. Unseasonably cold temperatures are expected Sunday night.
Hundreds of free Thanksgiving meals were distributed by The Salvation Army in Fort Lauderdale, and every recipient, according to one person, said, “Thank you.”
Gregory Colemon has been without a home for almost three months.
“We’re walking, trying to get food,” he said. “Trying to find a safe place to lay, and something warm to wear while we’re out here sleep.”
Colemon saw a member of the Cold Weather Team who’s out to make sure people will be warm ahead of Tuesday night.
“I stopped him because everybody told me that when you see the van, you stop him and talk to him,” Colemon said. “They can probably help you get into the hotel and shelter because you have to do the quarantine thing. I don’t mind, as long as I’m out the cold.”
