PANAMA CITY, Fla. (WMBB) A local hospital remembered the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, by thanking first responders.

Police officers and firefighters circled Ascension Sacred Hearts main campus Friday morning.

Hospital chaplain Frederick Woods helped organize the event.

The local chaplains here at Bay got together and we had a conversation, and one of the chaplains said Hey why not have the first responders circle around the facility,' Woods said. We were going to offer them gifts anyway but we figured out how would we give them some gifts.

Woods said he was touched to see the first responders return the favor and provide snacks to the hospital staff.

It was pretty successful today, said Woods. I appreciate all the people that showed up and the officers that stayed and provided gifts for our E.R. staff. That was great. But we just wanted to recognize the first responders in all that they do and just tell them to thank you.

Panama City Police Sergeant Joseph Record said taking the time to remember that day in history is more important than ever now.

Theres a lot of people in this world right now that were very young when it occurred, Record said. Some people even that I work with were just born or even some not even born yet when it did occur. A lot of people look at it as something that happened in the past but I believe we should learn from our past and grow from it, get stronger from it. Remembering our past helps us build toward the future.

DARROW - A break from the humidity Friday is helping some people still without power, but it won't be for long. Power is still a problem for many people who are living through day 12 without electricity since Hurricane Ida. They just want to know when their lights will turn back on.

There are about 200 homes in an Ascension Parish community that have gone 12 days without power. Resheta Smith tells 2 On Your Side she only thought it would be a few days, but now those days seem to never end.

Smith has been driving her family to Houston on the weekends for a little relief from the heat since hotels in the Baton Rouge area are full. They use a generator to power the fridge and a small window unit, but fuel has gotten expensive.

She says they've watched every neighborhood around them light up and wonder why it's taking so long for them.

"All the surrounding areas have lights and we don't," Smith said. "It's like this one little neighborhood we're still in the dark, right here in Hillaryville and Darrow."

Smith says it's been a struggle, especially for the kids.

"The kids are hot, aggravated, so am I," she said.

Another neighbor says there are people in the neighborhood on oxygen and have been having a tough time in the heat.

Smith says she's been calling Entergy trying to figure out when they'll get power back. Time estimates have come and gone.

"They gave me the seventh, they gave me the eighth, when I called yesterday they told me they just didn't have no information on when they would turn the lights on," she said.

Entergy told 2 On Your Side Friday morning the power would be back on by the end of the day, and that's still the goal. Friday afternoon Entergy brought power back to some of the area but found a more localized issue affecting about 70 homeowners, and one of them is Smith. Entergy says there's a pole down in the area and it's not a quick fix, but it's working to resolve the outage.
