"I thought I wasn't gonna survive," Miller, 33, said. "Things were blowing inside, the roof was blowing off, about a dozen trees fell on my home."

By the time emergency responders arrived, Miller's home was half-submerged. His roof, appliances and personal belongings, including his bed, had been lost to Hurricane Melissa's 185mph winds. "It was chaos. The place is decimated right now," he said.
