His album of the same name was released earlier this month. Ironically, one of the items she found in her home was a broken frame of Luke's 2009 single, titled "Rain Is A Good Thing."

An Inside Edition team followed LeClaire through her home when she returned on Wednesday last week and helped her salvage some of her belongings.

Her attempts at boarding her windows had failed, and most of her paintings, artworks and pieces of furniture were destroyed.

The category four hurricane has been raging since October 10, but sadly many residents chose to stay instead of obeying the evacuation orders.
