But some of them didn't evacuate."
Fuller says some of his employees lost their homes and one is still inside.
"for whatever reason i seem to be the only cell number she's able to locate."
Fuller explains she needs help.
"she said that she's in her home she's stuck there and that she desperately needs water."
We asked fuller if we can speak to her.
"my guess is that she's saving her battery for just little spurts of communication."
Fuller says this is another eye opener for south texas.
"ultimately we're all living along the same shores, same sea and i think its just something for the valley to think about and looking at helping anyway they can."
Right now, fuller is working with american red cross and florida law enforcement.
"they are family.
We know them.
We spend more time with them sometimes than our own family."
He's determined to find his florida family.
