>> Reporter: HEY, THIS IS -- ON
HILLSBOROUGH STREET HERE.
TONIGHT IT'S ACTING AS AN
OVERFLOW SHELTER FOR THE
SALVATION ARMY.
THEY TEAMED UP TO MAKE SURE
THAT THE HOMELESS POPULATION
HAD A PLACE TO STAY.
A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO, AARON WAS
PLAYING HIS GUITAR OUTSIDE THE
SALVATION ARMY.
A FEW HOURS LATER, HE FELT THE
WRATH OF HURRICANE MATTHEW.
>> I WAS ASLEEP.
THEY TOLD ME IT'S TIME TO
EVACUATE.
I LOOKED AT THE FLOOR AND THERE
WAS WATER UNDER NEAT ME.
>> Reporter: HE SAYS HE'S NEVER
EXPERIENCED A HURRICANE.
HE WAS ON HIS BED IN THE
SALVATION ARMY WHEN THE WATER
CAME IN.
IN JUST A FEW MINUTES, HE LOST
EVERYTHING.

TIME.
BUT BY THE TIME WE GOT UP OUT
OF THERE, IT WAS LIKE KNEE

TO BE IN A HURRICANE.

LAKE.
THERE WAS A WHOLE LAKE.
WE HAD TO GET THROUGH ALL OF
THAT WATER.
I HAD TO GO INTO THE KITCHEN
AND SIT ON THE TABLE TO GET OUT
OF WATER.
>> Reporter: TONIGHT, THE MEN
ARE ENJOYING A MOVIE.
IT WON'T BE LONG BEFORE THEY
WOULDN'T HAVE TO DO THAT
ANYMORE.
>> JUST A FEW MONTHS FROM NOW,
THE LODGE WILL BE OPEN ACROSS
THE STREET AND WE WOULDN'T HAVE
TO WORRY ABOUT NIGHTS LIKE
THESE BECAUSE WE WILL HAVE
EVERYBODY IN.
>> Reporter: NOW, WHEN THIS
SHELTER IS COMPLETED, IN ABOUT
A COUPLE OF MONTHS ARE 0 SO --
OR SO, IT WILL BE HOME FOR
ABOUT 40 MEN.
THE MEN WE TALKED TO TONIGHT
SAID THEY WERE GLAD TO GET OUT
OF THE STORM.
THOSE HOMELESS FOLKS WHO LIVED
UNDER THE BRIDGE, WE'RE TOLD,
ARE OKAY.
>> THAT IS GOOD NEWS.
HOPEFULLY THEY CAN ALL GET A
GOOD NIGHT'S SLEEP TONIGHT.
