TAMPA, Fla. — One month after a wall collapsed at an East Tampa postal facility, a woman said she’s still waiting for a pod with all of her belongings inside.
Emily Prior recently moved to Ohio with her husband and has been living in an empty home since the collapse on April 28.
Inside the same complex as the USPS package distribution center in Ybor City, Prior had a storage pod at the 1-800-Pack-Rat location waiting to follow her move to Cleveland in early May. But the pod with all her family’s things is stuck in Tampa.
A Hillsborough County spokesperson tells 10 Tampa Bay the wall is now shored up, and the owner is working to submit a partial demolition plan to “precisely [dismantle] a structure so that only the damaged part is removed, while the rest stays intact.” Once that step is complete, they will be submitting for an alteration permit to repair.
