For the most part, life goes on in Palm Coast's “B” section, one of three areas hit by a tornado on the night of December 17.

John Coberly's Bannerwood Lane home looked as though a bomb exploded. It was, by far, the worst damage seen in the aftermath of the storm. Now, the lot sits empty...for sale.

Bruce Rooms' home escaped damage that night, but he still sees damaged houses in his neighborhood which have barely been touched.

“I would like to have them repaired," he said. "They need to look like they was before -- nice, everybody's home, the home was well kept.”

The city has kept tabs on four properties in the area: three on Barring Place and one on Bayside Drive.

According to Cindi Lane, a spokesperson for the city of Palm Coast, the owner of one Barring Place home is still working with the insurance company on a settlement and promises work will be done once that happens.

A few homes down a new owner put on a new roof and has a contractor on site, working at getting everything back up to code.

Also on Barring Place is an empty lot.

The city is still trying to get the property owner to take down four trees that have fallen, or are damaged beyond repair.

If it hasn't been done by the end of August, city crews will do the work and bill the property owner.

The case of a house on Bayside Drive is a little bit different. It's owned by Fannie Mae, the federal government and as such, the rules are not the same.

Cindi Lane said local governments cannot impose any fines, liens or code enforcement actions on properties where the federal government holds the title.

However, the city has been told Fannie Mae is waiting on a FEMA hazard claim to be paid before work here will begin.

Bruce Rooms just hopes these last few properties get done sooner rather than later. “It lets the other houses look so bad, not fixing those houses. I'm quite certain that if it was an individual that owned the properties, the city would be on them already.”

These are all active code enforcement cases, but Lane said as long an effort is being made to make the repairs, the city will work with these property owners.

In all, 241 homes in Palm Coast suffered some sort of damage, which totaled more than $7 million.
