Senior residents in Charlotte still displaced after Christmas flood at Magnolia Senior Apartments: Thursday, Jan 12.

About 85 senior residents were displaced on Christmas Day after their apartment building flooded. Now, many of them worry they're on the brink of being on the street.

The living facility, Magnolia Senior Apartments, and the city of Charlotte are paying for them to stay in hotels through the end of January, but they don’t know what will happen next.

Wednesday night was the first time many of the residents got any sort of answers from management when they had an in-person meeting at the hotel. However, residents are still feeling confused and left out in the cold.

“I had to cry to the maintenance man last week, 'Please get my oxygen tank, I need my oxygen,'” displaced resident Denise Watson told WCNC Charlotte's Julia Kauffman.

Most residents are staying at a hotel nearby with the few things they were able to grab while being evacuated.

Officials are preparing to dedicate Charlotte's new aviation museum to a heroic pilot.

Captain 'Sully' Sullenberger is credited with saving more than 150 lives after safely landing a US Airways Flight 1549 on the Hudson River in New York City in 2009, a feat deemed the "Miracle on the Hudson". In fact, that same plane is among the more than 45 historic aircraft that will be featured on the campus.

The new aviation museum facility was built on the grounds of Charlotte Douglas International Airport. Initially founded in 1992, the museum is dedicated to aviation in the Carolinas.
