Watch how the insurance companies start playing the "Wait a Minute" game!
The "you're covered for hurricane damage but not for wind damage" clause
The insurance companies are indeed being a-holes. Many Hurricane Harvey victims are still fighting insurance companies while trying to fix their homes. It's now been almost 1 year, 2 months since Harvey.
The USA government will be stuck with the bill, not right, if ya live in the area you should carry insurance, if not move, not fair for everyone else to pay is it ?
Toussaint Chivars Yep! You're exactly right! I live here and stayed and rode the storm out. I have some videos on my channel of me driving around after the storm. But I have to say that Geico was amazing. We had Geico insurance on our vehicles that were both totalled from the storm surge(we live really close to the beach in Mexico Beach) and as soon as the road was clear(a day or 2), we had a "catastrophe agent" at our house to inspect our vehicles. We had rental vehicles within a week, which was unheard of at the time bc almost EVERYONE needed a rental car here. But I must mention who has been the least helpful for victims of the storm has been FEMA. They haven't really done much. We had an inspector from FEMA come to inspect our home a few weeks after the storm due to our first floor flooding from the storm surge. We had multiple areas where black mold was growing (even though we removed ALL of the water the night of the storm) and he told me right to my face that "black mold doesn't exist and I have absolutely nothing to be concerned about" and we were denied by FEMA for any kind of assistance, even though there's clearly mold growing inside our house and we have 2 young children who live here as well. We'll manage though bc my husband makes good money but other people aren't so lucky and they were also denied. But the worst part is the fact that there are many hurricane victims still living in tents to this day! 200 days after the storm! And these aren't people looking for work or people who came after the fact, these are families who lost everything. There are so many people, the place they are staying has been dubbed "Tent City". Where are all the FEMA trailers they gave to the victims of Hurricane Katrina who were still living in them 3 years later?!?! It's really frustrating. I donate as much as I can and I know other people who do as well but it's not enough. It's just really sad.
I live here in Mexico Beach. I live on Ocean Plantation Circle. They've been pulling bodies out of the rubble, ppl left their animals to die in their homes....we have no electricity, water, sewer. It's terrible. Been shittin in a 5 gallon bucket....whatever, ain't no shame in my game! Lol! We were recently able to get a solar camping shower and I'm SO thankful for that thing! It's been a lifesaver. My family and i(I have 2 kids) are doing better than alot of ppl and I'm VERY thankful for that also. This storm has actually restored my faith in humanity a little. I don't know what we would do without the kindness of strangers, the salvation army, and our soldiers. They have been our angels. I can't even put into words how appreciative I am for EVERYONE who has helped us and our community.
Prayers for you and those around you as you continue to piece together what's left. #panhandlestrong
REPENT THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS AT HAND. GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON THAT whosoever BELIEVETH IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH BUT HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE. THE WAGES OF sin is death BUT THE GIFT OF GOD IS ETERNAL LIFE LIFE THROUGH MESSIAH KING LORD AND GOD THE ONLY ALMIGHTY WISE ONE MESSIAH KING JESUS CHRIST!
SHARON I AM You can save your religious bullshit. I'm atheist.
Jamie Eye Thank you so much. I really appreciate your kind words❤
First Name: Katy ikr
This brings tears to my eyes.
I'm truly greatful for all those working hard and volunteering to help out all those affected by this hurricane including those fur babies!
12years to fix a broken😥 planet....good bye world
LOL. Do you really think that GOD would make a planet that man could break? GOD is in control of the earth not man.
God who, where?
@@starlite556 amen! You can bet this is the work of man tho, not God. Using HAARP for mass sacrifices for Satan who they worship. One of their own NWO commandments is population control scribed right on the Georgia Guidestones. Satan is the God of this world, he roams like a lion looking to devour. He's not in hell yet because he hasn't faced judgement. He won't until jesus returns. He is roaming free so we need the full armour of God. God will intervene but satan rules over this planet for now. Don't forget. We are in spiritual warfare. God did promise survival till the end so we dont need to buy into global warming ending life as we know it like they want us to believe. We will be takin care of till the end. But it's Satan who is the God of this world and God intervene's and will take care of his faithful followers because Satan has no authority over us. This is our time to repent and get saved. Just like he gave the people in Noah's day over 100yrs to repent and get their act together before the flood and they didn't so they were wiped out
@@starlite556 not to hate but you got to be kidding me your to ignorant thinking you can do whatever to earth IF god exists your precious god is why people think it's ok to treat our only bastion of life like trash and I bet that's why we won't make this deadline IF we dont
Earth is flat!
MY SINCERE CONGRATS TO ABCBEWS...YOU GUYS DID & R DOING A ENORMOUS GREAT JOB!...ALL THUMBS UP!👍👍👍👍👍👍👌
@anglianchannel WTF!...YOU WANT ME TO PRAISE "YOU" FOR DOING "NOTHING" DURING THIS CATASTROPHIC EVENT?...WHILE YOUR STINKY ASS WAS SITTING AROUND...THOSE GUYS THEY WERE "THERE ON D FIELD" BEFORE, DURING & AFTER!...WHERE WERE YOU, dude? DRY, SAFE & CLEAN WATCHING TV NEWS?...dammmn it!😈
Petx X -> praise them for doing their job?? You work for them or have someone that does.
Puppies and kittens were stuck I hope they get to safe place thank you 🙏 national Guard
people care so much about puppies and kittens but what about the other animals?
tbh, they might have been better off if they drowned. irresponsible people keep contributing to overpopulation issues...and making donations to animal shelters will not solve the problem. it's like trying to put out a fire one cup at a time :/
nepsmg people think they’re cute therefore want to protect it
Like babies
Floridians were lucky, Michael was only a Cat 4 and folks could evacuate to another state. People living on Puerto Rico weren't able to evacuate. Also, Maria was a Cat 5....and went months without electricity.
Most Puerto Ricans don't even live on the island. They live in NYC. When they want to get there they fly too.
Violante de Rojas , exactly.
Yeah, I'm Puerto Rican that never left and I didn't have power since Sept 20, 2017- February 1, 2018. It was tough, because I am an university student and I literally had to go to a fast food place in order to finish my assignments and turning it in on time. It was difficult, but I got through another semester.
Years...
Michael and Maria were the same intensity at landfall - 155mph.
And people will still say fake news 😡
Those People are so Deluded.
This video was made by a Hollywood studio! C'mon guys....it's sooo obvious!
am from Jamaica i wanna help in recovering
Sending prayers 🙏
Wish i could be there to help with the clean ups!
I wish I could be there to glom up some of that wood. I could use a few truckloads here to build me something.
I'm from Canada
And I wish I could come down to help the clean up
@@iconic2310 I'm from Canada too!
Thanks I got effected and nobody really cares about helping but just want money
No u dont its like slavery
This is the end of our planet .May God have mercy on humanity 😖
Zubida Alzoubi wow a hurricane!!!! It’s the end of the world!!! I don’t mean to be rude, but please stop looking at your religious texts and look more towards something with legitimate evidence.
Dear unbeliver in Christ, you are committing eternal suicide. You are condemning yourself straight to Hell. You are blind to the lies of Satan and you believe you are alive and free but you are a slave to sin and the walking dead. You need forgiveness, we all do and Jesus is here now to offer that to you if you believe in the name of Christ, you will be saved. I pray for you, that God might save you for his glory and be merciful to you in revealing to you His great love, grace and beauty. He does love you though you hate him and he has purpose for you, to love you and be loved by you. May the Lord bless you richly.
We live on a flat plain
We're doomed then. There is no "God."
I mean earth is fixed and stationary. We are not on a globe hurling thru space. Yes there is a God. Ask him humbly to reveal Himself to you and He will! He loves you more than anything.
Omg I feel so sorry for the Peaple
Why? they live on the coast... I mean, how do you live next to the ocean in hurricane alley and be shocked when a hurricane hits? How do you not have a plan in place for this?
Yah, I do as well. I had a friend who had a condo down in Mexico Beach and we used to go down there. The people are really friendly there. It's a very relaxed place unlike Panama City which is a lot of trashed places. I haven't talked to him in a few years but I imagine the condo is completely destroyed. They always know the risk of storms but this is a 150 year storm.
Its people
My condolences for those family that were killed in the storm and those who lost their homes
I live in Alabama and this was a storm I will never forget!!!😢💔
Shelby Sanchez what do you mean it didn’t even hit Alabama
I have seen, in the 35 years I've lived here in Florida, going from a normal of maybe 1 or 2 hurricanes per decades, some of which were not so bad, to up to 4 in one year. And at least two of those strong and devastating. In 04 we had 4 hurricanes. Three of which affected our area. And the last three years it's been Mathew, Irma, Florence and now Michael, which was as bad as the legendary Camille. And as things warm up it will get worse. It's like putting a planet on to boil. We will have worse tornadoes, hurricanes, sand storms, and snow storms in the future. And our government's lack of understanding of this, and lack of reaction to this, will make our children have to live in a world that may be so dangerous they will curse our names. And all for the lack of our getting out there, telling the oil industry, and the automotive industry, to get their thumbs out of their butts, and to get to work and help us figure out a way around this. Cause the truth is that the future is not ours....not their's...it's our kids, and their kids, who will pay if they don't. By they way...this looks like a hit from a EF-5 tornado hit. Go look at a few pictures of the last big one that hit Oklahoma city. This was a EF-5.....hurricane style. Some of the shots here prove to me that these communities got hit probably by tornadic activity, down drafts, or vortices. That, coupled with the storm surge which was just as powerful as the tsunami that took out Japan years back, is what destroyed Mexico Beach and surrounding area. We have to do something about this.
Linda Taylor The comparison to Camille is accurate, she was a tad stronger but Michael was bigger. Imagine had Michael hit at night like she did. I was here in Biloxi that night. It drove some people insane.
one of the saddest things ever too
I was saddened to hear of the tragic loss of houses and beautiful area. My prayers and thoughts are with everyone who has been affected by the dreadful disaster. Take care...
Poor dogs and cats. I am glad they are okay.
What About the Poor Humans You Dumbass Animal Lover,,, What About the Damn Humans,,,Omfg,,, Sone People On this Planet Are Confused,,, Putting Animals Over Hunan life,,,So Sad🤔🤔🤔
The United States Weather Service upgraded this hurricane to a Category 5, just so everyone knows.
I Been telling these idiots that!!!👍
Crazy we just left panama city last week. Was the nicest first week of october i can remember there. We go there often every year on fall break and it was unusually warm this time.Then soon as we got home in ky i seen the storm coming. Wish i could help rebuild. Such a nice place. Praying for all that live there.
Wow awesome report! Feel sorry for the families that have lost everything, but happy that they are safe.
Wow i just hope that the people that live in those home that are destroyed left before the storm hit !!!🙏🏼
It's horrible. My heart and prayers to all the people suffering.
Come to Canada. We only have a thunderstorm every 6 years. LOL
For Americans who do not believe in climate change have something to reconsider now!. I pray that they have a speedy recovery
Fx Monte Christo
I think most Americans know climate change is real. There are many activists and lots of recycling. California passed a law for homes to become solar powered and other States will follow. In a short time, most of the country will have solar, and wind, powered. Many areas already are.
So, yes, they are aware. The President, on the other hand! Hope how soon he is ousted.
Climate change is very real. Global warming is political bullshit. The Earth has heated and cooled for thousands of years, that's a fact. Another fact, Powerful Hurricanes happened before combustion engines were created.
You are a crazy moron Brandon, and your ignorance is a danger to the continuation of life. The earth warmed and cooled, not by magic, rather by measurable conditions. Ice cores have bubbles with samples of the atmosphere from then. The science is quite meticulous and the thermometers didn't get together to conspire.
@@abram730 alright listen here tiny hands, you can believe whatever bullshit you want but don't call people morons who have a different opinion than you. Also, explain the ice age, or anything for that matter. I've done enough research and have come to my own conclusion. I also suggest that you reread your little article on ice bubbles because you took the info you wanted to hear and not the info that was given. Dumbass.
@@abram730 This new analysis only applies to the most recent period of natural warming, which brought the planet out of the last ice age starting about 20,000 years ago. An excerpt from the article you claim to have read.
This is why I live in canada, in the middle of the map it's impossible for natural disasters other than small possible floods to happen
Hello Earthquake and Avalanche
The reporter said you ain't never seen a storm like this have you
Meanwhile Kanye is meeting with a “president” who does not care about black people. Wait... I’m having 2005 déjà vu.
So irrelevant.. very extra comment.
Why does that matter tho
Obama is the one who didn't care about black people.
V Steed This comment is referring to what Kanye said about George W. Bush during a live telecast for hurricane Katrina with Mike Myers. I’m guessing you’ve never seen it cause the phrase GEORGE BUSH DOESNT CARE ABOUT BLACK PEOPLE would have rung a bell.
Omg that’s horrible those poor people I pray that they get things back together
Folks they were interviewing sound like they've never had it very together in their lives to me.
OMG I hope people are kinder to them folks than they have been to me since I lost my home
Lost your home? Do you remember the last place you left it? That sometimes helps me when I'm trying to find my keys.
Prayers for the people in the path,....
Very very sad
If I ever have a building built, I’m hiring the structural engineer who designed the hotel in the thumbnail.
looks like puerto rico.
Awe the jacks i just got one a month ago shes 14 weeks
I am sure Mark Zuckerberg can donate money
shankar reddy lol The alien Mark, he doesn’t gives a fuck dude
Mark Zuckerberg will buy the city and move everyone out so he and his wife can live in privacy.
shankar reddy, why should he?
I'm sure he already did
@@Crazyman1212 like he did in hawaii
Insurance companies will eventually say there's no 💰💰💰💰
4:53 Was I the only one to think that woman looks like Dora the explorer (Her clothing)
I'm dead
Like hurricane Maria in 🇵🇷
Shailym it’s worst than Andrew and Maria
when i see the amount of destruction done to some of these houses , i have to wonder what kind of materials they use on these structures , experience gilbert what was a cat 5 ,i must say, i never saw anything even near this level of destruction, done to the houses out here , this is comparable to hiroshima after the atom bomb .
And still people say they're going to stay and rebuild.
Because they like it there. There's people that work all year so they can spend a week in a place like that. Some have just decided to live there.
Beverly White hell yeah just like they do in California after you live through burning in hell on earth.
#850strong
Dad, you said you were going to the store to buy some milk. That does not mean you go to Florida and turn into a hurricane.
This is sarcasm, just a coincidence that that's my Dads name. Hope everyone is okay.
I’ve been in a hurricane for a month and I didn’t even know it
Praying for God to restore Mexico Beach and Panama City Florida from Hurricane Michael that destroyed the most beautiful place I ever seen. I am from Duplin County and Hurricane Florence last month got 6 inches of flood river water on the first floor man , 2018 hurricane season has been the most heartbreaking devastating hurricane season I have gone through in my life since hurricane Floyd in September 1999 when my brick house across Highway 41 from my 2 story house got to my windows and washed away when I was 1 year old. 😟😟😟😟I am 20 years old today.
Everything within 5 miles of the coast should be made with concrete or cinder block filled with concrete.
Wood frame will work also, but needs many more tie downs and let in bracing and also earthquake bracing like is used in California but takes good carpenters to do it right.
There needs to be a coastal building code written and enforced that every structure can withstand 160mph winds. All sheathing should be applied with wafer head or washer head screws.
God bless !
I would volunteer to go help clean up
I would too 👼
I never even knew that this hurricane existed da fuq
This is so really sad what happened
This hit us so hard its terrible.
wow!! ABC actually mentioned climate change! talk about courage.
I’d really appreciate a further out view for perspective.
Why would a building still standing be condemned? They should be getting a medal for impregnable infrastructure.
Mold is getting bad. Standing buildings leaked durring the storm. Our second story apartment faired well, but water came in from our celing as if our upstairs neighbors apartment had blown away... We were in shock to see it hadn't. The water stayed in the drywalling. 1st floor apts all soaked. The humidity here hasn't allowed for homes to dry out. So even though Eye have a home today, that could change soon. So hot we have to keep doors and windows open and put ourselves at risk of being looted in our restless slumber. Or close ourselves in and suffocate in the heat and smell of mold and mildew.
And people say global warming ain't real🙄
May God help restore all that people have lost..."Yeshua (Jesus Christ) is the way the truth and the life"
Trump is god
Jdor D yeah, go pray for them instead of actually doing something that isn’t a part of your delusion such as donating for the cause.
Jesus who?
Jdor D do you believe in the Easter bunny? Santa Claus , I just want to know if you are a consistent idiot
"God helps those who help themselves".
It broke my heart when I saw does kittens😭
AMEN!
Notice the buildings with steel frames are all up. It's time they add a few steel columns to houses in hurricane areas. I suggest houses should be elevated and steel reinforced.
In this short snippit you saw NADA. Steal frames in tons of heaps of metal and insulation. It's something words cannot describe, the disbelief everyday we clean up and begin to pick up the pieces. Its a crawling pace...
Jamie Eye I don't know what NADA is, I'm speak from common sense.
@@oldshoe1 steel cell towers are down... Common sence has nothing to do with it. This storm didn't care! Our apartment building's roof came off, the trees surrounding our home were blocking us in for hours as neighbors gathered all manner of tools to possibly get us access to a roadway. Only to find the roads were in the same state. IMPASSABLE! Trains were derailed all through Bay Co. And the washcloth Eye hung to dry on my balcony rail to dry the day before?still exactly as it was.
Jamie Eye I'm talking about steel reinforced buildings not a steel tower. Totally different.
Wow
ABC always100% Thumbs up. Taking your time and life to report the news. Hope all the people and animals are saved. This could have happened to anyone. Just hope people be their best because life is precious. God Bless🍀
My friend's best friend died that day.
Getting crushed to death by his house.
OMG we really need to press our government in regards to global warming ! SERIOUSLY
So Sorry for her / his friends tragic loss 🙏🙏🙏🙏👼
Rebuild with stronger building codes, including built in storm shutters, and design roof angles that allow wind to easily defect off it( roof slopes/pitch) limit roof over hangs, or come up with a better design, it’s time we upgrade the way homes and buildings are built on the coast, adding the metal connector strengthening the frame has been done for decades now and shown to help greatly but with advanced plastics and technology people should be able to buy a home that will stay on foundation and roof will stay on, I bet most homes standing and new or up dated building codes, now it’s time to find ways to limit the extra cost of implementing stronger building. It also goes for building any home anywhere to have the best chance to withstand natural disasters that occur in area.
I was a little girl when Andrew hit us in South Miami Dade County; the wind sounded like a freight train..And once that wind got under the roof IT WAS ALL OVER..It looked like a 3rd World Country outside.
Bigger than katrina
Wait.. hurricane prone area... how about concrete homes from now on anyone? Anyone know what the ratio of homes built with concrete is over the years? Be interesting to see the data on wood homes vs concrete homes and the amount it's cost over the years to repair and pay out in terms of damages. Doing so would save a lot on resources every year especially on insurance, no?
mankybrains sounds good.....my neighbor down the road lost his concrete home as well
Good covering.
It’s beautiful
LOVE FROM MOTHER !!!!!!
Bad things have always happened to good people and there's nothing that anyone can do about it either. That's just life.
Great job on this piece, but that was Not our mayor. That was the mayor of Tallahassee.
Welcome to Florida 2018
I take for Granted having power I was out for 12 days
Why didn't they Evacuate when told to do so.
Tobby 999 Money, traffic, unawareness.
Because many couldn't afford to do so believe it or not.
There are a lot of seniors with mobility issues who cannot evacuate on their own. Gas shortages were also a problem. Also, some people are just plain stupid.
Tobby 999 your point is stupid but here your are commenting anyways.
Areas that were mandated to evacuate were not all affected. And areas that it hit hardest were not given ample time to do so!
The bible spoke of this weather and earthquake happening in the last days.
Kay Miley Yes, and I wrote a book that said that in the end of the world I will eat dinner.. such an amazing book. It’s the true religion.
@@anthonysacco4718 man she should listen too you don't know shit either if you did you will tells us youre plan to fix the earth but you're just as stupid to believe in sky daddy too shitter and tell the high powers too I am sure they will tell you to sit on it
Antony sacco of shit
The earth wasn't designed to have BEACH FRONT PROPERTIES! The landscape is EVER-CHANGING!
Hurricanes, earthquakes, the end is near.
I imagine these idiots think the Government should bail them out. No one should be building here unless it's at their own risk I just can't feel to bad for people that build in storm zones and flood plains.
Jeff Hanson I live in Callaway Fl the Eye came over my house and I made it ok but like I said while watching California burn with fires let them burn we all live on the same planet to each his own.
Dan Taylor Absolutely choose what you want to do and where you want to live. Just be responsible yourself for the outcome. California may be the dumbest most entitled state in the Union, not being aware the dry brush in the desert might burn from time to time.
So so sad
A National Guard unit wastes two days clearing a usable footpath because a TV crew showed up. I want to puke.
Bless the Lord!!!
so much many the hurricane Michael hit the American state!
I DONT WANNA DIE I LIVE IN VIRGINIA 😭😥😢
4 months rebuild working hard brother
PRAYERS 🙏🙏 🙏😇❣️
What...the Dog had Kittens...
that many folks really
Yep, we will be back, we will rebuild, and do it again every year, we enjoy the free tv coverages and the challenge of re-building our new home every year...it’s a community effort...come on guys, time to wake up and smell the coffee... duh! Climate change is here to stay .... all it takes a one death close to home, and you will hate the fact that you didn’t relocate sooner.... there are other locations, like outside of the USA where you can live economically more comfortable than in the USA.....
For as long as we can figure the climate on this planet has always changed. Either with us or without us. No one ever got a written guarantee that this period of unusually temperate weather would persist. The rise of our species was due to climate change. Otherwise our ancestors never would have swung down from the trees. But as it warmed up and forests thinned out they had no choice. When they ate all the fruit in the tree they were in they had to get on the ground and walk to another tree. The rest is as they say prehistory.
The rich that live there say that they will rebuild and why not when the Govt. will rebuild it free of charge. Google it . at least they will on the Calif. coast. Lots of politicians have homes on the coast , they take very good care of themselves.
Yep, that’s the only reason they stay there, rich welfare, don’t understand how urban cities still have homeless people, and coastal town that are destroyed by Mother Nature, don’t get an order from the govt to move the fuck out.... where are they getting these funds to rebuild all these homes, just to be destroyed the next year , hurricane season is a seasonal event in the south, just like tornado season in middle America , it’s Mother Nature.... climate change...get the fuck out.... i don’t want to hear the sob stories when it’s evident they know what’s going to happen... here mayor have some cookies and rebuild my new home.... for free
..... jest move....
Well
4:30 cuteness overload
This is only a result due to everyone’s carelessness for this planet. It’ll get worse before it gets better, sadly.
lol Because humans are so cocky that we actually believe that we have the power to change the weather and destroy a planet that has been here for 4.543 billion years.... OMG.... Millennials need to just shut up at this point. Houses got destroyed because they were built in a place where the weather is unstable. Had we not built anything there, the storm would be rendered harmless.
It was a category 5 hurricane.
This was before post analysis, that’s when they declared Micheal as a cat 5😊
How come hurricane Michael was stronger than Irma when Michael was a 1 category less (category 4)
Cinder blocks., 😶
How is it "the most powerful to hit the states in 50 years"? We've had cat 5s hit. This was a 4.
Is there any scrap wood ?
Every fucking where.... Come get it!
The cats made me sad
Cat 5 - we knew it before they changed it.
Hope the dogs and cats are alright..
Curse you hurricane Michael!!! Hmmmm? Will it hit Hawaii?! Because that’s where I live I’m 12 years old I don’t know much!
2:19 rolling down the street like a turd in the wind.
