don't forget the pollutants and toxins released in the water. If you have open wounds don't expose yourself.
As a kid we were always playing in flood waters. Now sepsis scares the heck out of me!
Gators are down there living their best life floating around town.
😂
Gators dont need flood waters to Roam about Town/Neighborhoods here in Florida, Thats just another Price We pay for Paradise.....😜
prob ate food they never had from markets lol. wet but good
This man is giving great advice. Believe it or not, people don't even think of such things.
They used to teach common sense in public schools --- the left has decided to do people's thinking for them, with disasterous results!
I do... before the hurricanes.🌀 I am petrified of reptiles so Florida is not for me. 😂😂😂😂😂
@@SonyaHudsonsame here I'm in rural Ohio and I see wildlife of all types I told my son we don't need to go to the zoo it's right outside our door.
Common sense things even I might not think of except the snakes and alligators yes
@michellegaskin6632 Yes. It's not something everyone thinks of. I will add don't walk in sewer water, especially with wounds.
What a wonderful commentator ! I love how she is so natural and engaging with guests.
Agree, she has positive energy.
yes, she is good
💯💛
Bacteria and eventually mold are much larger concerns.
The "Black Mold" is the killer!
@@Jeff-ih8gihow?
@@AMightyFortress Because it ruins your respiratory system.
@@AMightyFortress There's the "flesh eating bacteria", too! They're only "killer" if they get into your blood stream. Black mold occurs where an area doesn't dry out thorougly, like bathroom showers. Clorox works quick and effectively. You can get the "flesh eating bacteria" having an open wound and wading unprotected in water. Before venturing out in standing water I would wear duck waders. They're water tight and have built in boots.
@@Jeff-ih8githe kind you see in houses after the flooding goes away and never gets out of those flooded houses! Terrible ..
10' gator in the house?? Just one more reason I could never live in FL...I'll take the snow in NY...
Come on be brave !
Me too! Never
He is saying “use common sense”. THAT is the problem….. few people still have it…
haha yes very true, especially americans
They all got their head stuck up their phones...
Especially in the south…
@@alexlopez5800 Where you from Scooter, tell us where all the common sense is
@@jakeroberts7435it’s definitely not in the state trying to ban school textbooks
Nice, friendly rapport between these two people. I wish we could see that more often. So easygoing and lighthearted.
yes, you don't see that much, usually so inpersonal
Yea, very good interview. Not so ‘fake’ like most of the others.
Gators, stingrays and snakes, oh my!
😅😅
Oh ew!😮
Fire ants!
Never walk near canals, ponds or lakes in Florida.
Our risk a limb off
Invasive lizards are a major concern, the two legged lawyer lizards being the worst and they're everywhere.
when you live in florida you are surrounded by canals, ponds and lakes the rule of thumb is for Floridians is 1. At night use a flashlight check to see if you see Christmas lights aka gator eyes and keep 10 ft away never let your dog the edge of the water
Don’t forget bull sharks get pushed in as well ….if you live near coastal areas …in high water…they’re bodies can acclimate in fresh water and salt water
Bullsharks will punch you first than bite you.
Yes, this is true.
So some woman went outside her home in the middle of a hurricane to have a smoke and left her door open and DIDN'T see a ten foot gator walk past her into her home????!!!! Are you kidding me???
That's called stupid.😅
it could have been just hurricane winds when she went outside yes it is possible we had an issue where a gator came in through a doggy door it depends where she lives like Fort Myers has a ton of gators
Best not to walk around in the water. A man did this after flooding in New Zealand and fell straight into a large drain. With all the flowing water pouring in he didn’t have a chance of getting out and drowned. Be careful out there!
I saw that! He was young too😢
Sewer covers (heavy metal lids) can get pulled out during a flood. They can be placed anywhere on the street, often in or near intersections.
For sure…it’s not just water. It’s a slurry of life and debris
The last time we had massive flooding in North Eastern Nigeria, hippos were running amok all over towns.
Nichole, you are a talented host, loved your genuine sincere style, and absolutely great hair!! 😊
This should be titled: Reasons to not come to Florida
Snakes and gators were there first.
Facts
gators were first, then came Adam & Eve and the snake
Amen❤
Berlie might be the most likable newscaster in America.
yes, i think so
What a horrible situation!
Stay safe people! 🙏🏾❤️🇬🇧
She’s great & lovely lady 💖💖🌹🌹
Yes, she is 😊
Flooded streets in Florida after a hurricane can pose significant electrical hazards due to downed power lines, submerged electrical equipment, and the conductive nature of contaminated floodwater. Standing in these areas increases the risk of electrocution, as hidden dangers like live wires and damaged devices may be concealed underwater.
Good Lord. Can it get any worse?
Ban geoengineering
All those septic tanks 😝
Really. People put out 1/4 to 1/2 pound of poop daily. Bubbas maybe 3/4 to a pound.
@chesterfinecat7588 bubbas 😮😅
This is a great interview, funny too. I enjoyed this a lot
Crocodile population in florida has been significantly increasing.
Eeewwww
Really?? So not just gators anymore? They have crocs now too?? How?? I thought dems was in Aussieland.
@@minachgo American crocodile apparently they have been coming up more and more north they stay in warm waters.
I read Florida has 1.6 million alligators. Not sure how many crocs.
I just saw a video of a couple going back into their flooded home and when he opened the door a giant crocodile was in the family room. No power so you can't even see inside these homes and you're waiting in knee high water. The mosquitoes are going to be vicious.
O' my!!
More likely an alligator, not a crocodile.
Everybody was worrying about gators and snakes and I -told_ them snakes and gators can swim and will be fine. And look! 😊😂
Sure but what about the manatee? They had to withstand the fury.
Gentle and demure, with gentle souls so pure.
10 foot gator 🥴 I’m thinking …heart attack 😭
Not if you are careful. Yeah they look prehistoric but I've seen them in the lake in my backyard. They have never attacked me but then I don't go near them and fortunately the water is clear so one can see them coming.
@@Tlyna1952 😊
Good advice! Thank you.👍👍👍👍👍
I have never seen a state with more pluses and minuses than Florida.
What are the pluses other than the beaches?
@@FemboyLegendGD Great point. Wether maybe. You tell me?
@@solvingpolitics3172 I dont know. I guess weather but sometimes the weather gets a bit... grumpy i guess
😂what are the pluses???!
@@Betteroffdead1 Inexpensive homes? I don’t know.
Exactly common sense is a cure to most things and can avoid people of those bad things. In Florida water is a gators natural habitat and flood waters brings the gators, crocs, snakes like duh.
Sink holes are next
Definition of horror😱🤯 🙏🏻
A whole horror movie could be made about being trapped in a sinkhole with an alligator and a few snakes.
Facts
Environmentalist's perspective very much appreciated.
Imagine that for a story with your friends, I went outside to have a smoke and I left the door open and a 10 ft alligator came in my house. Stuff of nightmares!
If your risking your life during a hurricane, why not just risk smoking inside??! 🤷♂️
Growing up in Florida until I was 18, nothing surprises me. You can take the girl out of Florida, but you can't take Florida out of the girl. 🤣 Alligator in a pool? K. Crocodile in a pool? K. A few years ago, there was a woman who lived alone who had an alligator break into her actual home. No smoke or hurricane needed. 🤣 She just heard a noise, left the room to check, saw an alligator standing in her home, went back into room and called the FWC. 🤣🤣🤣 I just laughed and 🤷♀. Homeowner didn't sound too surprised either. 🤣It literally doesn't get anymore Florida than that. 😂
All Joking aside Frank I am also a Retired Environmentalist/ Safety Professional with a College Degree. I Could not Agree with You More on All the Possible Hazards Out there. Use PPE when in Clean-Up Mode. Mask, Gloves, Tyvec Suits if possible Steel Toe Boots, Wash Hands often, use Hand Sanitizers. Like he said Common Sense goes a Long way. Be Aware of Wild Life that poses a Danger to Yourself and Others. I know 1st Hand about getting Sick from Cleaning Up After a Hurricane. Bacteria in the Mud, Sand and Water that is undetectable. It put me in the Hospital for a few Days my Bill was over $10,000. The Pain was so Bad they put me on Hydro-Morphone. It felt like Needles Stabling my Guts. Praying that No One gets Sick or Injured. GOD Bless Everyone!!🙏🌀
And that is why I go to Florida for vacation only 😅
Alligators don’t care if you’re in vacation or live here 🤷🏻♀️
And not even for vacation 😂
There are lakes and ponds on every block.
Great report...thank you for giving all that information, we will have two storms in the next 10 days close to FL so we have to beware.
That movie Crawl! Anaconda!
Yes that movie crawl was crazy that’s the first thing I thought about
We all have our priorities. Truth.
Very underrated comment! Thank you!
This place is mess, gator, snake, sewage its not safe to be in flood water .
I'm so glad I moved out of Florida after 36 years living there.
@@fireballrobbie1744 you too I moved out about 20 some years ago and the way it is down there now I wouldn't move back for anything. Taking books out of the library and school just because they don't want their kids to read them plus trumpy is down there with his Russia friends sick.
What state do you live in now?
@@punothebear Minnesota and I love it. They have 4 seasons winter, spring, summer and fall and I love everyone of them.
Florida has 2 seasons summer and fall, lol.
Interesting story , thank you
What a guy you are!! I hope one day I can meet you in person and spend it listening to you stories! Exactly, use Common Sense people, come on!! 😊👍👏❤
Crocodiles bigger than alligators in Florida? How many , dude?
More in south Florida not central because Miami is so close to the west Indies
@@scubigaza5445 gators are all over Florida, you don't see that many crocodile in Florida.
In Hurricane Camille, in flooded New Orleans, a shark menaced the flooded University parking lot, one octopus blocked a bridge, another took bodies into the storm sewer, and alligators dragged victims into their den
Now we know what ZZ Top does between gigs...
They are eating the alligators. They are eating the pets !!
Fried alligator tail is on many FL restaurant menus. It's quite tasty.
@@user-dc6ut5uu3t I'm a Floridian, and I've yet to try it. No thanks.
@@SteveninTune lol thanks trumpy. Now don't let JD Vance hear that cause it will be on the news next, lol.
@@sharonprice4083 JD wear eyeliner 😍
And don't forget they're also serving up crocodile at Mar-A-Lago😂
gators stingrays and snakes oh my - please be safe and stay out of the water.
She really is a great commentator... He is very helpful.. How scary is that??? My God...😢😢😢😢.....🙏🙏🙏....
Bless his heart
That's why I don't like Florida.The humid 🥵 weather. Now the weather. I hope the people are safe.❤
You get used to it! Been here 90% of my life!
@@Jeff-ih8gi glad you are happy ☺️😁 I live in So.Cal.moved in 1960 w.family from Mich. We all still live here.
Sink hole maps of the U.S. literally fill in the whole state.
florida is number # 1 in the world.period
@@judyberends7021 I lived in New Orleans for 6 years working offshore, bought a house in Gulf Breeze after landing a good job with an oil company, 7 and 7!
I Thought is was Zakk Wylde at First from Ozzy! 🎸🤣
👍
😂😂😂😂
Least of people’s worries !!!!
Don't forget about the electric boats 🛥 and sharks 🦈 ! 😂
😳😳😳 🦈 🏊🏾♀️ 😅
Fried gator , boots, purses , belts and wallets , where the hunters
It's not hunting season.
Call the swamp people
@@Briwnee lotta red tape 🤔
Tetanus for sure.
Growing up I remember those the most!
Welcome to Florida 😂
OMG scary 😱I agree I caught a year ago a respiratory bacteria I almost died.
Creepy thing's.. geeze 😮
Definition of horror 😱 😱
All my life, THIS, is exactly
why I've refused to go to any
southern states💯😱😱
That was such a sweet interaction :)
People don’t hurt them 😢 please they’re innocent creatures .
You wouldn't say that if it ate your pet or your child
You wouldn't think that if it ate your pet or your child
You are kidding right??
@@evarene07 These are vegans who care more about their "fur babies" than actual human beings.
THANK YOU SO MUCH. PLEASE BE SMART AND SAFE!!!!!
Wondered about this - thanks!
isn't this salt water from the ocean... won't it kill freshwater creatures ?
Alligators can survive in salt water anywhere from a few hours to a few days.
She was low key flirting with him. lol
Thought about that...
Do the toilets still work for the folks on the 2nd floor???
Just poop out the window
It's terrible to imagine how many dead animals are floating around. So sad. VOTE 💙 to help these poor people.
Vote Red ❤ if you love America
Use common sense, most people don't have it.🤣
😂😂😂🤣🤣 sure they don't
News Nation..Good-day! We here in Gulf Shores Alabama are currently without your service! Can anyone enlighten us or provide an update please..
Big gators thank you For sharing ❤❤
I have a feeling the alligator didn't make it safely out of the house. To be fair they cull a lot of wild animals if they get too comfortable being close to people.
Paradise gets familiar.
Frank "Alligator" Robb is the man! also, 'common sense' lol
Bro needs to shave ASAP
Gators are helpless and deserve our help. Please protect and help our reptile 🐊 friends. #LizardLivesMatter
Slidell during Hurricane Katrina. Heard they had hammerhead shark swimming in parking lot due to storm surge
this vid answers my question about the flooded aftermath
Bacteria in the water can be dangerous too. Some people in Katrina died from stuff like that or electrical dangerous too.
❤❤❤no way I would live in Florida with those issues and others
Move to California, then!
@@Jeff-ih8gi just moved back to North east from helene
@@joannethomas3609 There is something about wanting to be back home!👍
His signature is ever changing is how you can tell it’s his ✍️
During Katrina in Gulfport, they had a seal, large turtle from storm on hwy 90 However, they were from Marines Life. They moved some of the dolphins to hotel near Interstate. However, release some in Gulf of Mexico, and they said with their pod
If 'Common Sense" was so common, you wouldn't be on TV warning people. Just stop saying it. It's not a thing.
I stepped on a frog in my kitchen this morning.😂
Why are they showing the video from September 13, 2020❓
She is beautiful
Mississippi, they had shark found swimming pool in swimming when storm surge when down
Fla Republicans are STILL in denial about climate change and think hurricanes are a government conspiracy 🤣😂🤣🤣
He's talking about common sense in Florida 😂
He said use common sense. If these people had any common sense they wouldn't be living in Florida.
Great beard ! Yes watch out 🐊 !
He said crocs down south...I thought we only had gators?
There actually are Crocs in Florida. They just aren't as common
Didn't plan on this being my scares for halloween this year. Those scary movies now look lame and tame.
There isn't any worries about him being unemployed for people waiting to get hired 😅😅😅😅
??????????
No say!
Is that guy with the beard one of the Philadelphia Phillies players?
She is way too chipper and light about something so serious 😮
