Fort Myers woman after rescue: 'I thought I was going to die right there'
Eva Neocleous, her mother, Aurora, and dog, Primi, waited more than 24 hours to get rescued from their Fort Myers home in the aftermath of Hurricane Ian.
The family first called for help at 11 a.m. on Wednesday, but conditions were too dangerous for first responders at the time. Nobody came until the Cajun Navy pulled them out around 12:30 p.m. Thursday.

Neocleous said the ordeal was terrifying: "I thought I was going to die right there."
