The tiny municipality that got so much damage from Tropical Storm Nicole was the governor's center of attention today.
Lavigna has lived at the three-bedroom home for over 30 years, since the passing of her husband. The only rooms left standing were her kitchen and a small bathroom.
Volusia County Sheriff Mike Chitwood said law enforcement will maintain a significant presence in the area to prevent looting from damaged homes. He toured and patrolled Wilbur-By-The-Sea damage Friday afternoon as well. “We have already made a looting arrest two hours ago,” he said. “A nefarious individual from Marion County decided it would be really nice to break into a house across the street from one of these houses. He was arrested within a minute of the 911 call.”
Upon spotting DeSantis, Lavigna quickly made her way to the edge of her front lawn, and took her opportunity to ask the governor for help recovering from Nicole.
