The damage was not limited to Pensacola, however.
, as much as two feet of water flooded homes and offices across Florida, which in turn lead to burst water pipes and at least one reported fatality.
An official from Sean's Outpost took to the Litecoin Talk forum to update the community on the situation, painting a vivid picture of the current needs of the charity.
Said the representative:
"Sean’s Outpost is one of the only [organisations] running an emergency shelter. Pensacola is a designated disaster area and Sean's Outpost is one of the most active triage and recovery teams on the ground."
As a sign of support, the wider digital currency community has been seeking to raise awareness and funding for the charity, starting donation wallets for the victims. More than 300 LTC has been raised to date (roughly $3,000) as part of the effort.
A bitcoin success story
This past March, Sean's Outpost detailed the success it's seen in its first year of operation, revealing it raised 733 BTC through its fundraising efforts.
At the time, the charity gave much of the credit for its success to the digital currency community, stating:
"Bitcoin has allowed us to grow in ways we never thought possible."
In January, founder Jason King embarked on a cross-country run to raise awareness for his charity and homelessness as part of an initiative dubbed Bitcoin Across America.
