As crews continued their recovery efforts Thursday, following Brooklyn's deadly building collapse, Flatbush residents had to navigate their daily lives while processing the devastation.

The collapse has left two children dead among eight adults, with more than a dozen injured.

"It's just trauma, it's just trauma, and then it's raining," Brooklyn native Stanley Carter told News 12.

Carter says he stayed with a family friend named Mohammad, who lived in the building, a few times before it collapsed. Carter says he hasn't been able to find Mohammad since, leaving him with no place to go.

"I can't find him, and he was a single dad, and I was staying with him due to the fact that I was homeless,” Carter says.

As rain came pouring down, Flatbush residents who live minutes from the collapsed building voiced frustration about the terror facing their hardworking community.
