- Grand Isle, La Hurricane Ida aftermath. Nearly the whole island was shot from drone. It does skip around some due to battery swaps and highlights.
When Hurricane Ivan hit Pensacola, FL, a gentleman on the Pensacola Beach invited a reporter and his cameraman to stay with him in his “Dome Home”. The Weather Channel produced a 30-minute show about this house, and the fact that it survived with almost ZERO damage, whereas everything around this house was utterly devastated/destroyed. As the structure was round, the winds were unable to find a weak spot (such as the eve of a roof) and naturally flowed around the house.
I love the dome Homes. Sustainable homes.
Yes, you are correct, R L. As an architect, I know, we need to change the exterior of buildings in regions, which are mostly hit by hurricanes. And the form of a polygon, a dome home or a round building have higher chances, to "survive" a hurricane than buildings in form of a Cube or Quaders.
I was in
Hurricanes Ivan I’m Jamaica 🇯🇲 when the eye hit .. after Myth was terrible
I spent every summer of my childhood on this island. It’s hard to watch, but thank you so much for documenting all this!
If it makes you feel any better, the people that have those houses down there are very resilient and work hard at fixing the area back up as a community!
@@ThumbsUpKitty Oh I know. Like I said, that’s the area I’m from.
@@ThumbsUpKitty It’s also the area my family still lives.
@@Louisianish I hope they're doing well under the circumstances! I came down from New Orleans with a private security company after Gustav and during Ike to secure the area and linemen. I had never been there and we couldn't find the roads! They were covered with sand!
@@ThumbsUpKitty It's time to give it up. Unless we lose about a billion people we don't stand a chance.
This is terrible, but my camp was in this video, and I cannot thank the Drone Operator enough for documenting this.
Now I can start planning and packing to repair.
Thank You
beautiful drone work, albeit devastatingly sad.
always the best aftermath videos, prayers for the people affected by this storm.
Needs dramatic piano music.
It's just amazing how some homes are totally gone & others completely intact - would like to know how the ones that are intact were built - since able to withstand the horrendous winds that Ida brought! So sorry for all these families, I've live thru a few, Andrew, Charlie, that really changed the scenery & environment - my prayers are with everyone in Louisiana!!
The codes change from year to year. Some with good reason, others to keep their job. I live in a costal neighborhood and ever wall in my home is a shear wall. There are 3/8 steal plates with 3/4” bolts that sandwich the laminate beams. Ridge to piles all the plywood on the walls is five ply. The floors are 2” 3/4 sub, 1/2” under lay and 3/4” hardwood. Bottom line is. It’s expensive to build here and the “new homes” reflect this in their asking price.
@@cbdoil4082 interesting - tks for the info - the best to u & yours!
Termites chew on some, too.
Heartbreaking. I can’t get the image of rows of house completely wiped off their pilings/foundations out of my mind.
Watch Mexico Beach during huricane Michael
Watch videos of a f-4/5 tornado
Build your castle on the sand and watch what happens. How difficult is that to understand?
@@ShadovvV you are a poet but didn’t know it.
@@ShadovvV these are castles they are not camps the owners can afford the loss
I spent a good chunk of my Sunday riding along. Hope all was well at your hotel room you lovingly shared with a stranger. Glad you are safe. Blessings to you and your families!! ❤️
PS: My anointed calling and ministry is to help sound the alarm as Dane Wigington does so daily, against Geoengineered weather warfare. Rev 11:18 Shalom
When I lived in Baton Rouge, we would head 4 Grand Isle every holiday weekend and any other chance we had. I remember when you could not find a room from Larose to Grand Isle. Grand isle was a big part of growing up. Moved to Galliano in 98 and worked at a local concrete plant for 10 yrs.. Best thing I ever learned from the people of Grand Isle and south Lafourche parish is how to do things yourself and not always wait for help. Grand Isle will rise again!!!
Para quê???
my 2 sons and I stayed on this island for the first time back in April during our redfish fishing trip. I am from Colorado, and I fell in love with this place. my heart is broken for everyone. and I lift up this prayer: May the God almighty, the great I am, provide each and everyone you a peace that surpasses all understanding through our lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen
nice thought but I think the lord has forsaken this land
I believe Ida is the making of your God. So your prayer sounds quite ridiculous. Btw, your God Almighty is never a sweet little baby😁
To live and play in this area takes a stubborn soul cause it will truly try your spirit!! It is a beautiful place not forsaken at all!! GOD is good!!!
@@meauxbull4321 Sure, god is good, but God also likes to destroy man's best laid plans. Remember, if you dont want to rebuild your house again, there are lots of other places in America which God doesnt destroy every few years. In my neighborhood, my house is fairly new, it is only 75 years old or so.
Amen amen and amen
I’m noticing while watching these drone videos is that some houses look perfectly fine while the houses next to them are completely damaged.
Built to withstand hurricanes. You can see how they're built differently on some youtube videos.
Its called "Building Codes" & they change over years
Building codes. The moment any type of air breaks into a house and it blowing 140mp, the house will eventually start tearing apart under pressure. New building codes include a airtight sealing around the house.
@@joshb3867 We're going to Build Back Better as Byedon said.
Yes, that happens due to variances on height and build strength.
One half foot of surge height can make the difference between flood damage and total destruction
I was in south FL during Andrew and entire neighborhoods that were once lined with homes were gone. It took time, but they rebuilt and I have faith Louisiana will too. God bless you all and be safe.
I appreciate it. I remember Andrew. I didn't evaluate for Andrew or any of them. This one tore us a new one if you know what I mean. Nearly lost everything. Except ourselves. An object can be replaced. Lives can't. We have each other working together down here in Lafourche Parish. It's rough. This is the worst hurricane I've ever been through. I wasn't around for hurricane Betsy. But, The ones that stayed for Betsy are saying that Ida was the worst they ever been through. We're rebuilding in process. Supplies are limited. But, we're taking it a day at a time. Much respect for y'all in Florida and others around the world
Amazing drone and an amazingly skilled pilot. Kudos to you! A sad sight but you showed the real effects of the storm and Mother Nature.
Oh my goodness, this is heartbreaking! I live in Louisiana and remember going fishing in Grand Isle with my family and to see this devastation is just completely heart wrenching. 🙏🙏🙏
I came over to give a like and comment. I watched this on Face Book last night. Simply heartbreaking.
Interesting. The Single-wides and Double-wides with braces up and over the roofs seem to be intact in many cases. I wonder if that is even allowed anymore. It sure seems effective.
Perhaps we should incorporate this design with pilings up to 2nd floor roof line in future builds/retrofits.
I think you’re looking at a couple lucky exceptions while a lot of the now vacant lots you see used to be raised trailers
@@nc818 anything with the roof slant not facing due South got f’d and the way the worst of storms aim that way should all be built in a defensive posture
@@freespeech9516 did not know what looking for what are pilings?
It's trashed down there. I like how trolls come on these threads and say it's not that bad. Nooo, just more powerful (in wind and longevity) than Katrina that's all smh
IT'S interesting how many homes with metal roofs made it though the high winds with little damage. That's something to look into, when rebuilding!
I noticed the same thing!
That must be the new standard because it seems the roofs and whatever else they did enabled those homes to fare better.
@@MsRedsphere Homes built with insulated concrete forms (ICF), like Fox Blocks, maintain their integrity during the high winds of a tornado. Insulating concrete forms can withstand winds of over 200 mph. ... Utilizing Fox Block ICFs for tornado-resistant construction can maintain a home's integrity during a strong tornado event. maybe it be useful for hurricane because there winds speeds are similar
When we built a home on the coast of Florida in the 90s, they had lots of building codes because of the hurricanes. Our home was block stucco. When the roof was put on, they had what is called straps that would connect the roof to the tie beam. That way your roof didn't blow off during a bad hurricane. We went through 2 while living there 25 yrs on the gulf coast. I think the worse was 100 mile per hour winds.
I have seen metal roofs in my area peeled open by the wind like a sardine can, so I never considered them before - but this video is a pretty good advert for a metal roof
It was the strangest feeling...my eyes were playing tricks on me the whole time that I was looking at hundreds and hundreds of smashed doll houses!
So sorry for everyone's loss!!
So sad to see so many homes destroyed. So glad to see many homes that survived with minimal damage. Hopefully, as homes are rebuilt, what appears to have survived well will be followed, so no one had to completely lose their home ever again.
Finally a great video! I spent a week at the State Park last year ( from Wisconsin) and was chased out by Hurricane Zeta. LOVED the area! So many places I wondered about. This is heartbreaking.
Thank you so much for this.😥
It kinda reminds me about the story of the 3 little pigs,....no,...actually it reminds me of Hurricane Katrina,...alot of widespread flooding and damage,...Thanks so much for posting, mate,..😱😱😱
Whoever built that deck at 1:01 should be proud.
thought the same thing.
Power of nature is awesome and destructive. Thanks for excellent video!
It seems like the the structures with metal roofs are the ones that made it through the hurricane in the best condition.
Metal roofs are the way to go.
I visited here the weekend before last. I had no idea as to the size of the place. Everyone was really hospitable. Prayers
This has got to be so helpful finding people that still need help.
Thanks!
imagine how many peoples lives have been changed
And it will be changed again and again and again until they quit building in flood prone areas
These are mostly camps.
It is going to take years before GI gets back to where it was. I can see a homeowner taking what insurance money they can get, and then selling the property. It just gets old after a while. Louisiana gets a lot of hurricanes, and GI will get another and then another.
Hard to wrap one's mind around so much devastation. Harder to believe people will choose to rebuild in this area.
We're in progress of rebuilding. This is home
@@djboy2712 True enough. The old adage: Home is where the heart is" rings true. Hope your rebuilding goes well.
@@greylance473 I appreciate it. Supplies are limited. But, taking it one day at a time. Gotta start from scratch. Lost everything. But, it can be replaced. A life can't. Much respect to you out there
The island should be cleared off and no remodeling or new construction be allowed. No Federal money should be spent.
That is exactly what the controllers want
Thank God and we are so glad to see you are OK. Thank you for taking us on that journey that fateful day. All we can say is God is good, because when we prayed for you He was faithful to answer. You both are such good people, for that we are truly grateful. We pray for restoration for all those that have suffered any loss, small or great, Heavenly Father, please restore them, in Jesus’s mighty name.
@@colincarrpinter8475 Really. Confirmation bias and stupidity reigns. There is no god, only Mother Nature.
Yes, thank you Lord for once again taking everything we have!
I dont believe in God that way but as a spiritual entity. Hurricanes are cool and fascinating storms.
Thank you for these videos! Is there any chance you will be heading to the Leeville (between Golden Meadow and Port Fouchon) and/or the area near the Pointe-Aux-Chenes marina? We have friends in both areas and can find no information on their homes and camps. I’ll share your existing videos and am on the way to donate. Truly appreciate all you’ve done!
I have some video from Leeville already posted.
Grandmother lived on Grand Isle, spent many summers there, I remember they had an old bridge that hurricane Betsy partly destroyed. They built a new bridge and the old one was used for fishing, hang a lantern down at night, catching fish, good memories.
Looks like there were homes built better than others in a cat 4 - A good thing looking forward.
Great job with the drone footage! Did you speak to anyone who refused to leave Grand Isle before Ida?
Yes, multiple people.
@@WxChasing I hope they are okay
We stayed there last Christmas. Is the Starfish restaurant still there?
@@Stellor72 23:05
@@WxChasing Wow, that’s some stubborn Louisiana stock for ya.
Gotta love em
I think the state of Louisiana needs to think long and hard about allowing people to rebuild in these areas that are continually being hit by these hurricanes. Or at the least they need it up there building codes. All of those houses should be on cement pillars and be built out of cement. You can tell the houses that are newer and have been built to a higher standard they’re still there most of the houses I suspect are old and flimsy constructed. This looks more like Japan after an earthquake than the United States
Praying for the people of Louisiana
So sorry for this community. We moved off a barrier island in Florida and went a couple miles inland after the endless 2005 hurricane season. When I see damage like this I don't regret that decision one bit.
All that sand...everywhere! I believe I heard someone say on the radio it's gonna take a least a year to get everything cleaned up. But I know the residents and camper owners are gonna help bring that island back.
So much destruction but I know they will build back!! My best friend has a camp on chickpea across from the play ground on the corner. I was just down there for Teflon and was coming back this week. Thank you for the video. Can you possibly do one street by street? I saw the fire station but couldn't see any further down that street. Again thanks!!
I’ve never seen so much destruction as widespread as Ida.
Dorian at Abaco Island was ten times as bad as this.
Prayers for everyone!
I would like to see some before and after pics. Thanks for sharing these.
Try google maps and it's streetview for comparison.
I have a son stationed there, I wish you had flown by the Coast Guard base. Would love to know if he still has a home.
Simply design a easy wind diversion home. A lower, low roof. Round sides, that have no corners. A deck around both sides of the home that can be easily shut off and lock down. I have cinder block wall on both sides of the home to absorb the heat and cold during the day. Then the next bad weather, will be the real proof. Have nothing the wind can hold on to or get a foot hold. Very low trusses. Think of a turtle shell or a round bus. The home will look nice and divert the wind. Very simple design. Have no over hangs, and have ends lock down. Custom large wood doors lock down the deck on both sides, no outside stairway.
19:52, has a very low red roof. I keep the AC-unit behind the cinder block wall. To keep it out of the sun to lower the heat and it will last longer.
Fill in any over hang.
In order to build: There is a minimum height code...18 ft +
Not a problem.
Your rounded sides and kind or domed roof might not give the wind anything to "grab" but would create vortices... I would believe that many of those homes that are totally gone and just the stilts are remaining is because the wind was able to get underneath and lift up as the pitch of the roof created a "wing effect" and the buildings were not anchored to the stilts properly... stilt's were made to keep you dry, not to prevent the wind from getting underneath and lifting up... So this may be an unpopular comment but it's REALITY... considering the weather is going to get worse because of climate change... and we are NOT going to be able to stop it with what the world is currently doing, no matter what America does... these people should not be allowed to rebuild since we know this will happen again, and again... how many times, already, have they been flooded out or blown away?.... building on stilts sort of prevents flooding issues but then it allows the hurricane winds to get underneath the houses and lift them right off their stilts... the definition of insanity is doing the same thing, over and over, and expecting different results...
17:06 house with the red porch looks untouched and house RIGHT BEHIND it demolished.
Thanks for the footage. Good for historical records. Structural and civil engineers can learn from the great details in this video.
Any rebuilds must have steel roofs. So many steel roofs intact or only partially damaged. Also roofs shouldn't have much, if any, "overhang" as that just provides leverage for hurricanes to try to lift the roof off the house.
Not sure anyone wants to rebuild there with the ongoing climate crisis though. Beautiful place to live but might have to concede it back to mother nature unfortunately.
Excellent video but SLOW DOWN!!!!! Hard to see details at 30mph.
I was able to play the video at 50% speed using my phone and it enabled better viewing.
I was thinking that the restaurant in the beginning looked like it lucked out but how did the asphalt get pushed up in the parking area. Then I realized it was sand and then it showed the whole inside was gone.
I live in Mississippi too. If a hurricane doesn’t get you a tornado 🌪 will. These people have nothing left. It’s terrible!
This is so terrible for the people who actually live here. My former daughter-in-law and her daughter live on the island and my heart hurts for her, knowing she likely doesn't have a home to come back to. 🙁
OMG! The winds must have been horrible even the asphalt was lifted up and tossed!!!! God help those who lost so much.
Water not wind.
I'm a bit surprised at how well the mobile homes held together.
I know right that blows my mind. Really surprised they were allowed so close to the ocean
I hope 🤞 that nobody got hurt or killed or injured 🤕 during the hurricane rip 🪦
Those people who lost there life’s during the 2021 hurricane dude 😢😭😭😢
Amazing footage.
May God bless these families give them strength to cope with this destruction 🙏
Where are all the people doing cleanup? Have they been evacuated and banned from the Island for now, to return later? It was so odd to not see a single person. Unless I just missed them.
Excellent drone video. Thanks! It could be a commercial for metal roofs. Did the state park pier survive? I didn’t see it in the video.
A critical analysis of the houses that look untouched in the middle of those swept away. THAT is what your building standard should be. We see a similar thing in fire areas in California. Some houses survive .. WHY ! A tragedy. Peace.
That's a regular thing - I knew a structural engineer who was part of a team that did forensic analysis after Andrew.
How will they ever clean all that up? And is it even worth rebuilding there?
so sad, but i noticed one thing metal roofs withstood the winds. i lived in florida so i have lived thru hurricans. but so sad.
What drone are you using?
Awesome !!!
A lot of those homes are just gone even though they were built up. Wonder how high the surge was there.
5-10 feet I believe
Such incredible devastation; and as always when I watch these tragedies unfold I think to myself, 'WHO allowed them to build homes/businesses on sandbars anyway?' At what point do these localities ever say...NO, you can't build that there! Aren't we tired of our insurance industries having to shell out tons of dollars for houses built on sand; and hearing the sadness of these people loosing everything over and over again? There was a lady in an interview who had just finished building back after the last hurricane; just to lose it again. :p WHEN do building committees just say, enough is enough! NO, you can't live there!
Most insurance companies don’t cover property like this. Anywhere in Florida is even difficult and only govt has flood insurance and is very narrow in coverage. These homes would not be covered from any of the largest 10 insurance companies. I used to have a friend from Grand Isle - not many homes last more than 20 years - that’s why mobile homes are so popular
The whole houses that are completely gone 😢😥 I hope no one chose to ride that hurricane out
About 40 people did. Same as always.
Ever wonder why one building has been COMPLETELY destroyed while a building 100yrds away has MINOR damage? " Building codes. ".
And serendipity.
THANKS
You can tell which homes were built for this and which not. Probably best not to build another home there unless it's built for hurricanes.
Shocking how there’s almost no roads. Completely covered in sand.
It's marsh land that goes into the Gulf. It's going back to its original state
@@rainnlewis5665 barrier islands aren't marsh land.
Also... Its original state was to be constantly expanding through sediment deposits.
@@cajunrando2556 thanks for clarifying but isn't this going to all lead back to the gulf. I live on the northshore, in slidell. I know in nola, its original state was marsh and swamp. People tried to drain a swamp. Impossible. No drainage system man's doing can outsmart nature (God)!
@@rainnlewis5665 ...God has nothing to do with the creation or retreat of the Louisiana coast. The levee systems direct sediment rather than allowing it to be distributed. The levee systems made by...man.
Why are tall religious zealots the same? Faith is meant to sustain you, not blind you.
@@cajunrando2556 I'm not religious. I have a relationship with the Holy Spirit. The bible says not to argue over certain things but please know that God created the earth and everything in it. The bible is 1000's of years old and is the only book that is on point on what is going on today! Jesus loves us and cares about us so much. All I was saying is, NOLA back in the day was swampland. People tried to outsmart nature and drained the swamp. It's impossible! God is in control. We must humble ourselves as a state and pray then God will hear us.
I hope all ll the veterans of affected will be ok.
It takes a drone to show the world about 'Little Red Riding Hood'..and the big b🐺d w🌀lf. 🌬🌬🌬 Great
Upload, thanks.
Grand Isle is a very exposed strip of land. Naturally you would expect serious damage there and it is. But that's not and indication of how things are all over the Louisiana.
4:05 Pink house still looks new.
I can't imagine anyone in there right minds staying here with that storm coming...hope everyone is safe...i agree...i think no structures should have been on this island or what ever it is...THE INSURANCE WILL BE OFF THE CHARTS TO REBUILD...Nature is telling us something...
Most of these are summer camps for people who like to fish.
@@jdl2180 you keep spewing this same garbage statement over and over again. You realize Grand Isle has 2000 residents, right? And you realize those residents work at these buildings that were destroyed, right? Grand Isle isn't just a place with a bunch of rich peoples camps. It's hotels & rentals, restaurants & marinas. Its peoples lives and how they make their living. It's shrimpers, entrepreneurs, it's locals just trying to make a living for their families. And here you are trying to say that it's just a bunch of rich peoples fishing camps. SMH
@@jdl2180 "camps"? What are you talking about? Do you know what the word means?
@@chrisjohnson2032 THANK YOU!! These comments are unbelievable. Blaming "rich people" for the houses. Most the people who live there are at or below the poverty line. These houses are meant for those essential workers.
@@echt114 he's not totally wrong. A lot of people do have fishing camps there. That's what we all call them.
Yeah, I figured it was a disaster on the way. That was a wicked storm and GI was on the devastating side of it. They had to have 150MPH winds and a high storm surge. Very few structures can withstand that force.
Life can be sooooo cruel 💔
This is what hurricanes do season after season... some seasons worse than others... we've only had this one so far. we're already nearly half way through.
Seems to me the key is what is difference in the way those structures that are unharmed are built compared to those that are partially destroyed. Obviously completely gone cannot be compared. I see some that are totally unaffected and other completely destroyed. Whats the difference in construction.
Hang on everyone
I don’t see any windows boarded up or anything was anybody preparing for this?
That doesn't actually do a whole lot.
By the time your lose a window...you've likely lost a roof.
@@cajunrando2556 Ask Floridians then. It’ll keep your windows from breaking which will keep your insurance company from having to pay more and the rest of our rates to go up. I know that doesn’t matter if your house is completely gone but at least you tried.
@@crujones4046 you are right. We had water damage inside our home from Hurricane Fran in 1996 and insurance would not pay a dime because they said it’s sea water, not rain water. You have no broken windows.
It is amazing that there seem to be houses that are unscathed. Is it construction method or just luck?
Both, but mostly luck
One more thing ...a few of these people here in the video really lucked out and didnt lose anything much. I noticed some had hefty metal roofing and others cheap tar and shingle. Im sorry you all had to see and go through this . It makes me sad to see homeless people on the streets and now there will be even more after all these disasters happen
I think I'd take the insurance money and run!
If America didnt have wooden houses and stuff, it might have withstood it Ok. Cant believe houses are so expensive there but made out of wood. You cant expect anything but destruction in hurricanes.
Wood and nails - vs Bricks and rebar - Three little pigs kind of told us about it in their story.
There's Palm Trees, In Her Bedroom!!! 🌴
Mother Nature can be unforgiving
And events like this are easily preventable. You just don’t build on a flat island that’s 2 feet above sea level.
This is Catastrophic
I'll stick with Lake Michigan in the summer and howling winds with 2-3 ft of snow in the winter!
Most of us would rather 10 hurricanes than six inches of snow lol
Wow. just think of all the trash swept into the ocean !
Kiss&Tell No good comes to sinner, just remember that!
Hurricane straps? My fellow contractors understand what I am referring to...
"How soon can we rebuild?", said the 2-ft. above sea level home owner as soon as the winds had diminished to 80 mph. "Maybe we can get a new house every 5 to 10 years". sorry to see such heart breaking loss.
Hopefully now building code will change for the better before they are allowed to build on those sites again. For far too long Builders have been charging over outrageous prices giving the consumer of these homes low-quality. This is where the state and code enforcement should step in and require better building code standards no longer should buildings pass inspection if they meet a hurricane one or two status building should be built for a category 5. And it's not impossible in fact it's quite possible especially with technology and materials we have available today.. unfortunately these types of hurricanes are going to be more and more common especially in areas along the coast and Bay inlets another issue that must be changed and properly address is the height of the land building so close to the coast automatically require that the Home Depot built on a higher threshold of land which means the Builder would have to bring in more Builder and build on a higher grade of land. Call properly supported by the proper supports way up above rising sea levels in the event of a storm. Hurricanes are no longer a rare commodity but more of a common so we have to build accordingly.
i imagine the new homes that made it are the homes that where taken in Katerina. kinda ballsy to even live on that strip of land.
High insurance. Or just let the taxpayers foot the bill.
2:46 I think the walls weren't there to begin with
Little duct tape and bailing wire should fix it….
