Thank you all for watching and the support! Clearly this will be a very personal hurricane for me as my home also sits in the path of Milton. But I am still going to be covering the hurricane so please subscribe if you haven’t and keep the alert bell on so you know when I publish my next video after the storm!

"They say I'm not longer disabled, I don't know what that means"(shows his amputated leg).... that was hilarious dude!!! This guy owns it!!! Respect for this guy!!!
If he slept through that last storm, possibly addicted to something that prevents him achieving what social security expect of him, like attending appointments etc…
@@krist6074 that's how it goes in America! "We can't give this homeless guy with half a limb disability anymore, sorry." *sends another billion dollars abroad* It's so sad! Never any money left to help vulnerable people jn need while he's facing a freaking hurricane! 😞 I wonder what qipl it be this time- $750? Maybe they'll be generous and give $800 for those affected by Milton.
I was telling my brother that earlier. I was like, dude, they always want us to come together during a disaster. Why not come together before the disaster? 😮
We suppress our true nature in order to do what we need to in order to survive. That is, be hateful, bigoted, and intolerant of others in a desperate ploy to protect what we see as "ours". In moments of disaster, all the petty grievances of the world melt away, and we start seeing each other as fellow humans again instead of threats.
@StoutShako I saw the same thing in the Marine Corps. We were yelled at, messed with, field ops, clean the barracks, yelled at, formation, lectured, then given an M16 and we went to Afghanistan. We were able to do our job in War. The command wasn't terrorizing us because we all had a .556 rounds in the chamber. Speed up through Afghanistan and we come home turn weapon into the Armory then all of a sudden the games eventually begin again. In regular society it has become absolutely so selfish. Buy a nice house, buy a nice car, lavish vacations post on social media then natural disaster happens now we are all supposed to come together???????? Makes no sense
He's not disabled any more, that's great to hear! He can surely expect his new leg any day now, hopefully it arrives before Milton. On a serious note, our hearts go out to all of you in the path. Make wise decisions and godspeed.
This reminds be of that Zulu War skit of Monty Python. Legless Man: "So it will just grow back then, will it?" Doctor: "When playing football just try to... favour the other leg." I wish he would leave but I totally get why he doesn't want to leave his home. Good on the community for doing what they can.
The disabled man on the boat reminds me so much of Harry R. Truman, the old man who owned a lodge near Mount St. Helen and refused to leave his home even though volcano scientists were saying that St. Helen’s eruption was imminent and would wreak destruction for miles. Mr. Truman was a real character, like this man is, he was interviewed by many news media and he told all of them he wasn’t leaving the mountain no matter what. Well, Mr. Truman got his wish and perished in his home when St. Helen’s erupted. I pray this man does not suffer a similar fate. 🙏 Praying for everybody affected by the hurricanes.
@@xeronicus You mean "fox entertainment news"? Yeah, its garbage. Any way, now that my taxes will (yet again) go towards the yearly buying people new homes because they bought homes in "hurricane alley" and are surprised that a hurricane came, I feel that its a good time to remind people that Floriduh is a welfare state that needs handouts every year. Fuck Floriduh.

I live in tornado alley. Don't bother with the house. Take pictures of everything you have and leave. Nothing can survive wind and rain, much less water. Water is the most powerful force on Earth. It can't be stopped. People really need to get out
It’s a peninsula. There’s only one way out and 2 highway and it’s a very long state. That’s why there’s a traffic jam. The hurricane is going to cover the entire state and you don’t want to get stuck in a metal coffin on the highway when it hits. Plus, remember Georgia and the Carolina’s already got hit hard 6 days ago and already got to be filled up with refugees from Helene. And if you go to west coast you get flooding from the back end of the storm when the waters recede. Safest place is a solid concrete building on the inland on high ground
Water is extremely destructive and powerful. It sweeps everything away in its path. I'm praying for the safety of Floridians. I'm heartbroken for everyone affected by Helene and this developing Monster Hurricane Milton.
It’s amazing to me he reported so calmly and professionally on the situation. Then at the end you realize that his house and family are in the line of the storm too. Respect man I hope your family and home are safe. This is real journalism
@@zoeyrochellezhombie829because other reporters who are " in the path" create increase in anxiety for many, a calm clear voice that shows what's happening and give pertinent information
I live in Mexico on the pacific coast and last October we were hit by "Otis" level 5 hurricane and almost nothing was left standing,. The day after we had no phone , no water , no food , no electricity, no internet everything was gone. Some hotels today are still under repairs others won´t reopen. God bless you all
And I think 100% they are controlling the weather,no climate change BS, from a tropical storm to a category 5 in 24 hrs, yes, they can do it, and they will keep doing it, no science fiction,it is the reality, but many won't believe it.
Otis, another unnatural hurricane. 5 hrs. of important satellite imagery went missing on Otis. You can still see the loop on Rammb TC real time. Image loops showed Otis a Tropical storm off Mexico coast, then a 5 hr. Satellite blackout happened, next image after 5 hr. Blackout showed a side storm osmosis, injecting itself backwards into Otis. Satellite pics. taken every 10 min. went missing then reappeared when Otis turned Cat. 5 and already making landfall. Msm corporate paid weather reporters acted clueless "We never saw it coming, what happened"; acting like they never saw important 5 hrs. Of satellite image loops missing.
"No longer disabled" - with half a leg missing?? Has Social Security though it managed to magically re-grow??? Perhaps some of the $300MILLION a day spent on "Project Ukraine" could be used to support those in your OWN Country? Or in todays crony capitalist world, is that far too much to expect.
I looked up hotel rooms yesterday out of curiosity, zero in the entire city of Tallahassee but the good news was there were rooms available in Huntsville, AL. Unfortunately, they were starting at almost a grand a night. How is that not considered price gauging? What has happened to us and to our country that the only thing we care about anymore is money and doing anything we can to make more of it. It breaks my heart.
That older guy packing sand bags in his sedan... Breaks my heart when he said " another hurricane, and my family... " He feels responsible for their safety. Oh Lord how scared he feels! God bless him and keep him and his family safe and everyone affected.
Young and un-aware for the danger to came. Millennial's: "waiting in line to get those sandbags to protect my home. i been here half a day and i got 4 sandbags for now" (smiling and happy) ...amazing job my friend, just a waste of time...
I get this poor man wanting to save his boat, which is the very little he has. That said, he isn't going to swim out of this one and he can't save the boat by being there. I'm just lost as to what he thinks he can do. But I sure hope he doesn't have to find out because it's clear he's had a rough go of it. Godspeed man. We're thinking of you.
He probably doesn't have a wife or kids to look after and really has nothing to loose. Even if he has some kids they might be all grown up and he thinks he's too old and maybe it's his destiny to either survive the hurricane or die in it. He looks like in his 60's so although young to some, at that age there's really no new tricks you can teach an old dog. 😂😂😂😂
Yeah he probably wont survive this unless he goes north as much as he can now. But he might have a death wish too. Old, no family, disabled. Dying before things get worse could be blessing for him and he might wanted to die with his boat instead of nothing.
I think he knows he isn't going to be ok. most floridians in Tampa right now have accepted that they will die. unfortunately 15 feet of water is not survivable and Florida's government has done nothing to help its citizens escape.
Did the man in the boat remind anyone else of Lieutenant Dan?Just with the boat the attitude & injury. I can't understand how it's no longer a disability? Great job by those guys for GFM & their efforts to try to get him to go somewhere safer..that' was super impressive. Prayers for him & for all in the path ! 🙏 ❤
It's because the office probably had a quota of people they had to kick off disability and chose based on oldest disability claims first irregardless of qualification.
When I lived in Florida, the moment a storm formed near Trinidad,Tobago, I started getting ready with supplies, food, cars full every other day, planned for evacuate way ahead of the rush, never stayed behind. If I lost three or four days of work, so be it. I had emergency funds just for the occasion. When you wait for the mandate to evacuate, it’s too late to start preparing. Material stuff can go away, though I’m not losing my life over any of it. God help them.
@@AG-iu9lv When the Governor issues a Mandatory Evacuation, you go. No one is going to stay except for emergency personnel and hospital staffing, and those who just have no common sense. There isn't going to be any work.
thank god that climate change is fake news - imagine those storms would happen more often than earlier because oceans heat up. then maybe florida would be hit by hurricanes that strom not only every 100 years but maybe twice a month - wait, what???
Thank you for standing up for this guy & his circumstances. Everybody needs to help others out alot more often than just during a massive storm/crisis. PLEASE HELP EACH OTHER OUT NOW! There’s no such thing as tomorrow, it becomes today faster than you can blink!
This gentleman has more faith than most people, his boat is his home; He’s lived through this before and he’s at peace on his boat. I speak blessings over him during this hurricane..
This is so nice. I hate how badly so many speak on those who cannot/will not evacuate. Everyone has their situation. I hope we get an update on him after the hurricane
This is the third video I’ve watched of yours and I love that you don’t dramatise anything, you just tell the story. Please PLEASE don’t do anything that would put your life at risk just for the sake of putting a video on the internet. Be safe out there!
Your home is beautiful. Lost my house in Sandy . My elderly neighbors stayed and lost their lives. My m so glad the police came to our house and warned us that if we stayed they would not be able to get to us . Our house was destroyed. About the sand … the elderly neighbors had survived through many hurricanes and permanently had sand bags all around their foundation…. It just lulled them into thinking they was enough. Sandy came and it wasn’t enough.
🏸 THE GOSPEL OF THE WORD OF ALMIGHTY GOD "the last age brought by Christ to purify man with His Word" Almighty God said I have once been recognized as Jehovah. I have also been called the MESSIAH, and once people CALLED ME JESUS SAVIOR because they loved and respected Me. But now I am NOT the JEHOVAH or JESUS that man knew in the past---I am the GOD who RETURNS in the LAST DAYS, the God who WILL BRING the age to an END. I AM GOD HIMSELF ARISING FROM THE ENDS OF THE WORLD, full of My WHOLE DISPOSITION, and full of AWYORITY, HONOR and GLORY. 🙏 People have never partaken of Me, never known Me, and always no--know of My disposition. From the creation of the world until now, NO ONE HAS SEEN Me. This is the God who appears to man in the last days but is hidden from men. He LIVES WITH MAN, REAL and TRUE, like a burning sun and a burning fire, full of power and overflowing with AUTHORITY. There is no person or thing that cannot be judged by My Words, and there is not a person or thing that will not be purified by the burning fire. In the end, all nations will be blessed because of My words, and will also be broken to pieces--"pieces because of My WORDS. 🔴 In this way, all people during the last days will SEE that I am the SAVIOR who RETURNS, I am the MIGHTY GOD who conquers all mankind, and for man I am the SIN OFFERING, But to those LAST DAY I too will become flamesof the sun that will burn up everything, so is the Day of RIGHTEOUSNESS that will REVEAL everything. Such is My WORK in the last days. I took this NAME and OWN this DISPOSITION so that all people may SEE that I am a RIGHTEOUS God, and I am a blazing sun, and a burning fire.🙏 This is so that all may worship Me, the ONLY TRUE GOD, and thus SEE My TRUE FACE: I am not only the God of the Israelites, nor am I merely the Redeemer---I am GOD of all CREATIONS throughout the HEAVEN and EARTH and OCEAN. 🙏 From The WORD, Vol. 1. The Appearance and Work. The Savior Has Returned On A ... Fulfillment of (John 1:1) and (Ezekiel 2:9-10), (Revelation 18:9,13) The Savior has returned and He or Christ has fulfilled His building of the kingdom/church on top of the rock or standing in the worthy holy place in the air/RUclips! When He came He fulfilled what was prophesied in the book of Revelation and from there it is recorded that He changed a new name and the name of His city from ("THE CHURCH OF ALMIGHTY GOD" 💐) "The Epistle to the church of Philadelphia" "The one who overcomes will be I will make a pillar totemple of my God, and he shall not be removed from it forever. I will engrave on him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem that will come down out of heaven from my God. I will also engrave him with my new name. (Revelation 3:12). ... "The Reign of the Prince of Peace" "For a baby boy is born and he will rule over us. He is the wonderful counselor, the Almighty God, the eternal Father, the Prince of peace." (Isaiah 9:6). ... "For the Lamb in the midst of the throne will be their SHEPHERD. He will lead them to springs of life-giving water; and God will wipe away the tears from their eyes." (Revelation 7:17). "They said together, "Salvation comes from the Lamb, and from our God who sits on the throne!" (Revelation 7:10). ... So God's sheep and the right people He created have come to His holy city the New Jerusalem that will only last on earth for 1,000 years "THE CHURCH OF ALMIGHTY GOD"💐 ⬇️ What is recorded in the prophecy is below! ⬇️ (John 1:14,18) "The WORD became MAN and Dwelt among us." "No one has ever SEEN God, But the only Son made him known--he is God--whom the Father loves dearly."
This is the best reporting I have seen. The guy with the truck and the gas that was going to leave at 0230 is smart! Can’t believe the sand people need ! Praying for everyone!
For 6 years now my husband and I have our go bags. Every year we check them to update and remove expired items. Man-made or natural disasters can just happen anytime and anywhere. And they’re becoming more and more these days.
So go bags do not cover all disasters the wildfire GO bags completely different than the flood disaster go bag as I found out on accident when I move from one state to another and realize might go back was not going to help me if I didn't change the stuff that was in it
God bless you all from England. That disabled guy....i so see his point of view that wee boat is his life. Hope he survives intact. For those who made spiteful comments. Shame on you.
Before he died, my dad's home was in St Petersburg. He was never concerned about hurricanes because they rarely came through, and when they did he was on high enough ground that he wasn't affected. I'm glad he doesn't have to deal with this hurricane.
I was praying about staying or going, and I knew that if I was going to go I needed to get my family on the road immediately. I’m glad I got out today. We just made it ATL safely. A lot of other Floridians here as well
*I'm favoured only God knows how much I praise Him,* $230k every 4weeks! I now have a big mansion and can now afford anything and also support God’s work and the church.
Only God knows how much grateful i am. After so much struggles I now own a new house and my family is happy once again everything is finally falling into place!!
I started pretty low, though, $5000 thereabouts. The return came massive. Joey is in school doing well, telling me of new friends he's meeting in school. Thank you Susan Christy, you're a miracle.
Wow...I know her too she is a licensed broker and a FINRA agent she is popular in US and Canada she is really amazing woman with good skills and experience.
I want to send you a message of support from Wee Waa NSW, Australia, but all the usual expressions seem overwhelmingly in appropriate or massively understated. We will watch and hope you can ride out the hurricane. Not enough, I know, but you and all your neighbours are in my thoughts. I visited there in 1988, and loved being in the Tampa Bay area and loved it. So you all have a special place in my heart.
I really hope the guy in the boat will be OK. Hearing his story, it sounds like a tough predicament to navigate. I hope you and your family and friends stay safe as well 🙏
I can’t imagine how damaging these events are for the lowest in our society. They can lose everything with nothing to help them recover. Heart goes out to everyone affected. I pray our society gets better at looking out for those with the least. We all need to be more empathetic and give back into our communities to those who need it most. It’s the only way we get through these trying times ❤
I moved to Florida in 1966 as a teenager and thought I'd never leave. 54 years later I moved back north to deal with snow. I'm much more relaxed. I lived in Ft. Myers and worked for Lee county for 29 years in the facilities maintenance I was considered a first responder after a hurricane to inspect county buildings for safety.
We lived at Punta Gorda for 20 years until Hurricanes Charley, Francis, Ivan & Jean ? kicked our butts in 2004. Now in the Ozarks & love it. My sister is still at Inverness.
EDIT: I meant to say Ian, which was way worse than Irma. Irma was the last hurricane I prepared for before selling and moving. It is so exhausting to prepare, especially working at the same time. It's super stressful too. I wish everyone the best.
I was actually wondering about that, it looks exhausting and frustrating, getting prepared for a hurricane! Too many other things in life to deal with, f*ck that! 😂
Praying for you all. One storm was to many and everyone needs prayers. I live in Australia and we have cyclones stay safe when you can. God bless you all
“Items and things aren’t important, people are.” Well said! We wish you guys the best in these hard times! God is with you guys, prayers from California
Jonathan, I'd like to both thank and congratulate you on your excellent reporting on Helene, and on the preps for Milton. Very well done! Prayers for you, your wife, and for ALL in Milton's path - including all of the animals. May you all stay SAFE and WELL... 🙏, ❤.
Faith is the opposite of fear. The man on the boat has nothing left to lose except his boat and knows that if it is his time to go it is his time to go. Freedom 's just another word for nothing left to lose, a line from a song which rings so true in times like this. Weather events like Milton show us how mighty nature is and how puny man is but they also teach us that what is important is people in our lives. Those material things can be replaced but people can't be. Be safe and listen to the advisories if you can. Thinking of you all and hoping you come through this unscathed.
Prayers from texas, i hope everyone is safe and evacuates to safety.. god bless you all, floridans, and to the people who suffered from hurricane helen 🙏🤍🥺
I moved away from hurricanes 31 years ago. Where I grew up was devastated by Helene. I only have to deal with blizzards, tornados, hail, wind, flashfloods, and avalanches.
US weather is amazing isnt it.. hardly anything of that here in europe, its the most boring weather ever, some occasional wildfires or flashfloods and thats it
Okg! My heart is hurting knowing that they are about to go through another hurricane. I can not imagine 😢😢 I'm praying everyone will be safe and survive this. 🙏🏽😔❣️
The way to survive hurricanes in your boat is to find a protected area (a mangrove forest is great), put out many, many lines with lots of slack in them to handle the surge, batten down all the hatches, and hope for the best. This gentleman, bless him, is not prepared for a hurricane like Milton.
@@SoundofSilence492I’d say I’m pretty sure that would be a difficult call. A new baby and a shelter. They’d need to keep the baby from being exposed to certain germs but I could be wrong
I fear those bridges will not be there to get back home on, but....that's ok. Just get out! Look for folks that may need help. Don't forget. You may have room in the car, truck, rig, and they may have in their go bags what you may need. Pray for wise choices and calm. Much love.
I will be glued to RUclips looking for your updates. I have visited the Tampa area a lot, and this pains me to see what is coming. Also, somebody please get that man in the sailboat off the water! This is going to be unsurvivable! He has no chance. Stellar reporting Johnathan!
I have heard that a few hotels are charging six hundred dollars per night; this is price gouging and it’s not the right thing to do during a hurricane.
If they have enough time, people need to go either North or West, to North Georgia, Alabama, Pensacola, or even Tennessee around Chattanooga or Nashville.
Of course they also need to pay their employees more because of the emergency and there is a higher cost to insure if they are going to be open during a hurricane. It isn't like their costs during a hurricane are the same as normal operation.
It's not price gouging, it's supply and demand. There's huge demand and little supply (hotel rooms aren't exactly a flexible resource), so of course the prices go up.
@@AikaCraftyCat I wouldn’t pay that much for a one night stay in a hotel just because of the major evacuation; I would keep on driving to a safer location and avoid any hotels that will charge $600 per night and sleep inside my vehicle or find an emergency shelter like a YMCA or a public transportation facility or a public library.
@@AikaCraftyCat $600 a night is excessive for most people; they can keep on trekking for a few hundred miles and stay in an emergency shelter until the storm passes through their homes and return safely home to access the damage to their houses. They will be spend much more than $600 on their damaged houses!
"Theres Enough Sand for everybody! " This still stick in my Mind after this Video. Great Job on Covering the local Fates ,small and bigger Dramas unfolding. Hope People can find a Way to get Jays Ship in a safe Spot.
No there is not enough sand! If you cant afford to loose everything them MOVE IDIOTS! I was forced to bc of the government housing raising the cost of living. 10 years of college 2 degrees and homless. I have no sympathy for TAMPA! Single men cant survive in Tampa!
New to Hurricane Corridor. Since Helene, we learned that the system is quite fragile. Gas was out, generators were out, no grocery. Some places still have no power, and no water because pump failed without power. Food in fridge rotten and groceries shelf are empty. Can’t cook because of no power and no gas. Hope people in the passage of Milton be safe.
And now Teslas going up like popcorn. If you or your neighbor has one, or any other ev or hybred ev thing they have to leave behind, warn them to park the damned things away from building, and switch your electric breakers off before you evacuate. ♥️ Take care!
You have to keep a supply kit that you check at the end of July every year. - 1 month supply of non-perishable food, water, and water purification per person - Camping stove with a month's worth of fuel - Lights and radios with spare batteries (if you have HAM certification it's even better) - Generator with at least a couple weeks fuel if you plan to shelter in place - Flares are also a good idea if you stay in place to get attention if needed - Keep your car fully fueled at all times during the season with a spare can filled as well for extra range - Keep your inventory for insurance up to date - Keep a bugout bag with clothes and camping supplies packed and in your car - Make sure important documents and data are packaged and ready to go - Keep everything packaged in a way where everything you can fit in your car can be loaded in under an hour for evacuation - Make sure you have ammunition to handle looters I know it doesn't help now, but you've got the hard lesson on what you need for next season. Good news is most of it is _always_ valuable for emergency preparedness and will last for a long time without need for replacement. Hang in there.
Thank you for this coverage. Hope you and others down there are safe. We sold our house in 2016 and left St. Petersburg for NY. My heart breaks for my former neighbors, who fared fairly well during Helen, but Milton looks terrifying. Stay safe and evacuate!
I don't think he realizes that this is supposed to be the worse storm since 1921. This will be a catastrophic event. I hope they do a follow up story for this poor fella.
Where do that number of people evacuate to? Its unfathomable and heartbreaking, especially seeing most have damaged homes already. 😢 Old mate on his boat, I hope you survive! Your outlook on life is amazing and I wish you well.
I waited 7 hours for sandbags, there was a 5 hour long line in Walmart (I walked out but that's what the manager in front said when I walked in), 1-2 hour wait for gas (with gas now completely sold out) and Lowe's/Home Depot's parking lot was full. Like no parking spots. This was yesterday and I live 54 miles from Tampa.

We lived in Pinellas County, FL 1985-2023. Got tired of the near constant heat and humidity and storms. We moved to the mid-west. Praying those who want to get out can and those who must stay are watched over by God.
Milton is an ominous name for a hurricane. Paradise Lost. My grandparents owned and managed the Skyline Motel and Apartments back in the 1960's in Madeira Beach. It's been changed and enlarged, but it's still there today, Oct. 8th, 2024. It was a paradise to me as a child. What a beautiful wife you have, your treasure is where your heart is. God bless all.
Still remember those typhoon days from our country...before and after typhoon,people are panic buying (groceries,gas for gaslamps,batteries for flashlights,etc) some towns have checklists..so.scary esp if theres no electricity during the night..mother nature is fierceful and has a way to bring back humanity by helping one another in times like these..RIP for those who died and keep safe guys
Hey Jonathan, mad respect for the work you're doing. So much better reporting than anything coming out of corporate news outlets. I know my response on your other video about Helene in FL was a little salty, but I promise it's coming from a place of love and concern, and I really hope you and all the folks on the Gulf coast are battened down and ready for this. I'm hoping the forecast is wrong and this all turns into a nothingburger, but if it's as bad as it's starting to look like, I promise I won't say I told you so. Just stay safe and keep others on the right path, man. Good luck out there.
@user-bv9vn4wt8l - Yeah, god should protect these people. I mean, god created this hurricane, and will unleash it on these people for whatever reason, but he should also protect them. How about if god never created a destruction hurricane like that in the first place? That would be nice.

I wish he would leave but I totally get why he doesn't want to leave his home. Good on the community for doing what they can.
He looks like a tattooed-up dude who made a LIFETIME of bad choices. Still smoking, too.
@@1108-g1qi would rather be in his position than those stuck on the freeway
It won't. They don't prioritize him unfortunately. His best bet is to get out, otherwise I fear the worst for him
This coverage is better than what most news outlets have
The news doesn't want to show people working together. They only want to show the devastation afterwards and the government (authoritarian) response.
It's great when journalists actually get among people and provide updates from the location. Sadly, it's becoming a rare thing to see.
Facts I was saying the same thing.
*from a bro who doesn't watch news
-ok
Yes, I find that JP knows his hurricanes and also brings you the human side of the story.
These RUclipsrs are better journalists than the MSM.
YES , i'm SO SICK OF EVERYONE DENYING IT !
There's people DEAD and missing by the HUNDREDS IN ASHVILLE NC and NO MEDIA is reporting on it!!
Preachh I Tried with an OPEN MIND to take CNN SERIOUS and then CNN started CELEBRATING Kamal Harris, Its NOT D... POSSIBLE
MSM is thought control
@@TaraOliver-x6lHarris is a fantastic candidate. She cares about people and has policies that make sense.
The disabled man on the boat reminds me so much of Harry R. Truman, the old man who owned a lodge near Mount St. Helen and refused to leave his home even though volcano scientists were saying that St. Helen’s eruption was imminent and would wreak destruction for miles. Mr. Truman was a real character, like this man is, he was interviewed by many news media and he told all of them he wasn’t leaving the mountain no matter what. Well, Mr. Truman got his wish and perished in his home when St. Helen’s erupted. I pray this man does not suffer a similar fate. 🙏 Praying for everybody affected by the hurricanes.
Comprares him to a dude who died I’m crying 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I wish all news was delivered this way. Absolutely splendid job. Stay safe.
It used to be before it got turned into a political machine.
I miss paul harvey.
I love the guy who couldn't even speak - my heart was crying
@@xeronicus You mean "fox entertainment news"? Yeah, its garbage. Any way, now that my taxes will (yet again) go towards the yearly buying people new homes because they bought homes in "hurricane alley" and are surprised that a hurricane came, I feel that its a good time to remind people that Floriduh is a welfare state that needs handouts every year. Fuck Floriduh.
this was the first coverage i’ve seen without mentioning or blaming Trump for this it’s unbelievable

said he hasnt even transfered the money yet..
@@AZhooligansgaminghe’s been checking up on him daily. He’ll do the right thing and give it to him.
all the time
He won’t be giving him any money. He means too, I’m sure, but he won’t. He’ll chip away at it himself and it’ll be gone quick.
@@DignifiedDestitutionyou have no idea what you’re talking about, you’re just talking out your ass, that’s the internet for you. There’s zero evidence suggesting anything you just said. For all we know he has money and didn’t need the 7k. Clown
I live in tornado alley. Don't bother with the house. Take pictures of everything you have and leave. Nothing can survive wind and rain, much less water. Water is the most powerful force on Earth. It can't be stopped. People really need to get out
It’s a peninsula. There’s only one way out and 2 highway and it’s a very long state. That’s why there’s a traffic jam. The hurricane is going to cover the entire state and you don’t want to get stuck in a metal coffin on the highway when it hits. Plus, remember Georgia and the Carolina’s already got hit hard 6 days ago and already got to be filled up with refugees from Helene. And if you go to west coast you get flooding from the back end of the storm when the waters recede. Safest place is a solid concrete building on the inland on high ground
Gravity is stronger than water.
oh please the gravity bomb in area 51 is the most powerful force
Water is extremely destructive and powerful. It sweeps everything away in its path. I'm praying for the safety of Floridians. I'm heartbroken for everyone affected by Helene and this developing Monster Hurricane Milton.
@@GeorgeMonet Yes, the swept away houses and people can testify.
It’s amazing to me he reported so calmly and professionally on the situation. Then at the end you realize that his house and family are in the line of the storm too. Respect man I hope your family and home are safe. This is real journalism
He's used to it. Why is that amazing? It's the same as people reporting in tornado alley.
Yessss so appreciated
@@zoeyrochellezhombie829because other reporters who are " in the path" create increase in anxiety for many, a calm clear voice that shows what's happening and give pertinent information
Praying for all of you. I am a survivor of Typhoon Haiyan (Category 5) in Leyte, Philippines, Nov2013.
I live in Mexico on the pacific coast and last October we were hit by "Otis" level 5 hurricane and almost nothing was left standing,. The day after we had no phone , no water , no food , no electricity, no internet everything was gone. Some hotels today are still under repairs others won´t reopen. God bless you all
Incredible how quickly Otis got so strong
And I think 100% they are controlling the weather,no climate change BS, from a tropical storm to a category 5 in 24 hrs, yes, they can do it, and they will keep doing it, no science fiction,it is the reality, but many won't believe it.
⛈️
is your government able to provide assistant or aid
Otis, another unnatural hurricane.
5 hrs. of important satellite imagery went missing on Otis. You can still see the loop on Rammb TC real time.
Image loops showed Otis a Tropical storm off Mexico coast, then a 5 hr. Satellite blackout happened, next image after 5 hr. Blackout showed a side storm osmosis, injecting itself backwards into Otis.
Satellite pics. taken every 10 min. went missing then reappeared when Otis turned Cat. 5 and already making landfall.
Msm corporate paid weather reporters acted clueless "We never saw it coming, what happened"; acting like they never saw important 5 hrs. Of satellite image loops missing.
These dudes are so genuine helping this guy. Not like all the others that typically do stuff like this. Really nice to see
What's awesome is they didn't make a video about helping him to put on RUclips. They just did it.
@@RoseanneSeason7 haha fair enough

I looked up hotel rooms yesterday out of curiosity, zero in the entire city of Tallahassee but the good news was there were rooms available in Huntsville, AL. Unfortunately, they were starting at almost a grand a night. How is that not considered price gauging? What has happened to us and to our country that the only thing we care about anymore is money and doing anything we can to make more of it. It breaks my heart.
Greedy people taught regular people to be greedy just like them. Hope everyone makes it out ok out there 👍🏼
Seems like everyone is going north to evacuate, when they would be perfectly safe just driving to the Miami area
@@johng5710i know a lot of people going to miami
If you charge normal prices, all that means is it gets fully booked even faster. It doesn't help MORE people.
Remember when you vote that the current democratic administration has put all of us native born Americans in the mess that we are in.
That older guy packing sand bags in his sedan... Breaks my heart when he said " another hurricane, and my family... " He feels responsible for their safety. Oh Lord how scared he feels!
God bless him and keep him and his family safe and everyone affected.
Love seeing the young guys helping out and caring for others.
Young and un-aware for the danger to came. Millennial's: "waiting in line to get those sandbags to protect my home. i been here half a day and i got 4 sandbags for now" (smiling and happy) ...amazing job my friend, just a waste of time...

""King Osirus""->Really?
@@Kittypaintz Truly.. somethings NOT right there. Hmm
Praying for you all over there from the UK.
Stay safe everyone.
I get this poor man wanting to save his boat, which is the very little he has. That said, he isn't going to swim out of this one and he can't save the boat by being there. I'm just lost as to what he thinks he can do. But I sure hope he doesn't have to find out because it's clear he's had a rough go of it. Godspeed man. We're thinking of you.
He probably doesn't have a wife or kids to look after and really has nothing to loose. Even if he has some kids they might be all grown up and he thinks he's too old and maybe it's his destiny to either survive the hurricane or die in it. He looks like in his 60's so although young to some, at that age there's really no new tricks you can teach an old dog. 😂😂😂😂
He’s definitely not going to make it through this big boy
"A captain goes down with his ship" - that guy probably.
Yeah he probably wont survive this unless he goes north as much as he can now. But he might have a death wish too. Old, no family, disabled. Dying before things get worse could be blessing for him and he might wanted to die with his boat instead of nothing.
I think he knows he isn't going to be ok. most floridians in Tampa right now have accepted that they will die. unfortunately 15 feet of water is not survivable and Florida's government has done nothing to help its citizens escape.
Did the man in the boat remind anyone else of Lieutenant Dan?Just with the boat the attitude & injury. I can't understand how it's no longer a disability? Great job by those guys for GFM & their efforts to try to get him to go somewhere safer..that' was super impressive. Prayers for him & for all in the path ! 🙏 ❤
did he get promoted?
No Medicaid No housing? How can a State disown him like that?
It's because the office probably had a quota of people they had to kick off disability and chose based on oldest disability claims first irregardless of qualification.
Well I guess he won't be voting for "so generous kamala" 🙄
That is so disgraceful, the way he's been treated by the current govt
I though it was Lieutenant Dan, also he was First Mate 😛 Not sure if we are talking about the same Dan but I see all the other traits.
When I lived in Florida, the moment a storm formed near Trinidad,Tobago, I started getting ready with supplies, food, cars full every other day, planned for evacuate way ahead of the rush, never stayed behind. If I lost three or four days of work, so be it. I had emergency funds just for the occasion. When you wait for the mandate to evacuate, it’s too late to start preparing. Material stuff can go away, though I’m not losing my life over any of it. God help them.
I live in Trinidad. The weather is so strange. Hot sun one minute, next thing you know dark skies and bad bad weather
The way the economy is, most ppl can't get a slush fund together or miss 4 days of work. You can, I can, but we're very privileged.
@@AG-iu9lv When the Governor issues a Mandatory Evacuation, you go. No one is going to stay except for emergency personnel and hospital staffing, and those who just have no common sense. There isn't going to be any work.
thank god that climate change is fake news - imagine those storms would happen more often than earlier because oceans heat up. then maybe florida would be hit by hurricanes that strom not only every 100 years but maybe twice a month - wait, what???
Thank you for standing up for this guy & his circumstances. Everybody needs to help others out alot more often than just during a massive storm/crisis. PLEASE HELP EACH OTHER OUT NOW! There’s no such thing as tomorrow, it becomes today faster than you can blink!
This gentleman has more faith than most people, his boat is his home; He’s lived through this before and he’s at peace on his boat. I speak blessings over him during this hurricane..
Amen! I stand in agreement with you speaking blessings over this man. Psalm 46:1 🙏🏾
This is so nice. I hate how badly so many speak on those who cannot/will not evacuate.
Everyone has their situation. I hope we get an update on him after the hurricane
No, he hasn't lived through a direct hit before. Tampa Bay hasn't had that.
He’s stupid as what he is
He’s not going to make it. Dont encourage them
This is the third video I’ve watched of yours and I love that you don’t dramatise anything, you just tell the story. Please PLEASE don’t do anything that would put your life at risk just for the sake of putting a video on the internet. Be safe out there!

About the sand … the elderly neighbors had survived through many hurricanes and permanently had sand bags all around their foundation…. It just lulled them into thinking they was
enough. Sandy came and it wasn’t enough.

🏸 THE GOSPEL OF THE WORD OF ALMIGHTY GOD "the last age brought by Christ to purify man with His Word"
Almighty God said
I have once been recognized as Jehovah. I have also been called the MESSIAH, and once people CALLED ME JESUS SAVIOR because they loved and respected Me. But now I am NOT the JEHOVAH or JESUS that man knew in the past---I am the GOD who RETURNS in the LAST DAYS, the God who WILL BRING the age to an END. I AM GOD HIMSELF ARISING FROM THE ENDS OF THE WORLD, full of My WHOLE DISPOSITION, and full of AWYORITY, HONOR and GLORY. 🙏
People have never partaken of Me, never known Me, and always no--know of My disposition. From the creation of the world until now, NO ONE HAS SEEN Me. This is the God who appears to man in the last days but is hidden from men. He LIVES WITH MAN, REAL and TRUE, like a burning sun and a burning fire, full of power and overflowing with AUTHORITY. There is no person or thing that cannot be judged by My Words, and there is not a person or thing that will not be purified by the burning fire. In the end, all nations will be blessed because of My words, and will also be broken to pieces--"pieces because of My WORDS. 🔴
In this way, all people during the last days will SEE that I am the SAVIOR who RETURNS, I am the MIGHTY GOD who conquers all mankind, and for man I am the SIN OFFERING, But to those LAST DAY I too will become flamesof the sun that will burn up everything, so is the Day of RIGHTEOUSNESS that will REVEAL everything. Such is My WORK in the last days. I took this NAME and OWN this DISPOSITION so that all people may SEE that I am a RIGHTEOUS God, and I am a blazing sun, and a burning fire.🙏
This is so that all may worship Me, the ONLY TRUE GOD, and thus SEE My TRUE FACE: I am not only the God of the Israelites, nor am I merely the Redeemer---I am GOD of all CREATIONS throughout the HEAVEN and EARTH and OCEAN. 🙏
From The WORD, Vol. 1. The Appearance and Work. The Savior Has Returned On A ...
Fulfillment of (John 1:1) and (Ezekiel 2:9-10), (Revelation 18:9,13)
The Savior has returned and He or Christ has fulfilled His building of the kingdom/church on top of the rock or standing in the worthy holy place in the air/RUclips! When He came He fulfilled what was prophesied in the book of Revelation and from there it is recorded that He changed a new name and the name of His city from ("THE CHURCH OF ALMIGHTY GOD" 💐) "The Epistle to the church of Philadelphia" "The one who overcomes will be I will make a pillar totemple of my God, and he shall not be removed from it forever. I will engrave on him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem that will come down out of heaven from my God. I will also engrave him with my new name. (Revelation 3:12). ... "The Reign of the Prince of Peace" "For a baby boy is born and he will rule over us. He is the wonderful counselor, the Almighty God, the eternal Father, the Prince of peace." (Isaiah 9:6). ... "For the Lamb in the midst of the throne will be their SHEPHERD. He will lead them to springs of life-giving water; and God will wipe away the tears from their eyes." (Revelation 7:17).
"They said together, "Salvation comes from the Lamb, and from our God who sits on the throne!" (Revelation 7:10). ... So God's sheep and the right people He created have come to His holy city the New Jerusalem that will only last on earth for 1,000 years "THE CHURCH OF ALMIGHTY GOD"💐

What is recorded in the prophecy is below!

"No one has ever SEEN God, But the only Son made him known--he is God--whom the Father loves dearly."

So go bags do not cover all disasters the wildfire GO bags completely different than the flood disaster go bag as I found out on accident when I move from one state to another and realize might go back was not going to help me if I didn't change the stuff that was in it
God bless you all from England. That disabled guy....i so see his point of view that wee boat is his life. Hope he survives intact. For those who made spiteful comments. Shame on you.
Before he died, my dad's home was in St Petersburg. He was never concerned about hurricanes because they rarely came through, and when they did he was on high enough ground that he wasn't affected.
I'm glad he doesn't have to deal with this hurricane.
I was praying about staying or going, and I knew that if I was going to go I needed to get my family on the road immediately. I’m glad I got out today. We just made it ATL safely. A lot of other Floridians here as well

Friends of the disabled man on the boat are heroes. God bless them and him .
I can’t imagine how damaging these events are for the lowest in our society. They can lose everything with nothing to help them recover. Heart goes out to everyone affected. I pray our society gets better at looking out for those with the least. We all need to be more empathetic and give back into our communities to those who need it most. It’s the only way we get through these trying times ❤
I moved to Florida in 1966 as a teenager and thought I'd never leave. 54 years later I moved back north to deal with snow. I'm much more relaxed. I lived in Ft. Myers and worked for Lee county for 29 years in the facilities maintenance I was considered a first responder after a hurricane to inspect county buildings for safety.
We lived at Punta Gorda for 20 years until Hurricanes Charley, Francis, Ivan & Jean ? kicked our butts in 2004. Now in the Ozarks & love it.
My sister is still at Inverness.
EDIT: I meant to say Ian, which was way worse than Irma.
Irma was the last hurricane I prepared for before selling and moving. It is so exhausting to prepare, especially working at the same time. It's super stressful too. I wish everyone the best.
You are 100 percent right
I was actually wondering about that, it looks exhausting and frustrating, getting prepared for a hurricane! Too many other things in life to deal with, f*ck that! 😂
well said, I don't understand why people want to do all this over and over again.
As a Californian I could not live in hurricane or twister country it sounds like a nightmare
It must be crazy in Florida trying to get flood insurance. Insurance companies don't like the odds of knowing eventually they have to pay out.
Godspeed to our US Brothers. Take care and good luck. Canada.

Prayers for you, your wife, and for ALL in Milton's path - including all of the animals. May you all stay SAFE and WELL... 🙏, ❤.
Faith is the opposite of fear. The man on the boat has nothing left to lose except his boat and knows that if it is his time to go it is his time to go. Freedom 's just another word for nothing left to lose, a line from a song which rings so true in times like this. Weather events like Milton show us how mighty nature is and how puny man is but they also teach us that what is important is people in our lives. Those material things can be replaced but people can't be. Be safe and listen to the advisories if you can. Thinking of you all and hoping you come through this unscathed.
Freedom does not mean nothing left to lose. What a stupid comment
Just me and my Bobbie Magee .”
Thank you Janis.
This day and age, and prices, material things are not to easy to replace. I lost all my stuff 20 years ago, I still can't afford stuff I had.

You are a terrific reporter. Stay safe my friend.
Great video much better than watching local news stations. Sending support from Missouri.
The way to survive hurricanes in your boat is to find a protected area (a mangrove forest is great), put out many, many lines with lots of slack in them to handle the surge, batten down all the hatches, and hope for the best. This gentleman, bless him, is not prepared for a hurricane like Milton.

I fear those bridges will not be there to get back home on, but....that's ok. Just get out! Look for folks that may need help. Don't forget. You may have room in the car, truck, rig, and they may have in their go bags what you may need. Pray for wise choices and calm. Much love.

I guarantee conversations with this man are epic and full of knowledge#salutedan
I have heard that a few hotels are charging six hundred dollars per night; this is price gouging and it’s not the right thing to do during a hurricane.
If they have enough time, people need to go either North or West, to North Georgia, Alabama, Pensacola, or even Tennessee around Chattanooga or Nashville.
Of course they also need to pay their employees more because of the emergency and there is a higher cost to insure if they are going to be open during a hurricane. It isn't like their costs during a hurricane are the same as normal operation.
It's not price gouging, it's supply and demand. There's huge demand and little supply (hotel rooms aren't exactly a flexible resource), so of course the prices go up.
@@AikaCraftyCat I wouldn’t pay that much for a one night stay in a hotel just because of the major evacuation; I would keep on driving to a safer location and avoid any hotels that will charge $600 per night and sleep inside my vehicle or find an emergency shelter like a YMCA or a public transportation facility or a public library.
@@AikaCraftyCat $600 a night is excessive for most people; they can keep on trekking for a few hundred miles and stay in an emergency shelter until the storm passes through their homes and return safely home to access the damage to their houses.
They will be spend much more than $600 on their damaged houses!

No there is not enough sand! If you cant afford to loose everything them MOVE IDIOTS! I was forced to bc of the government housing raising the cost of living. 10 years of college 2 degrees and homless. I have no sympathy for TAMPA! Single men cant survive in Tampa!
Yeah Biden and Harris are making sure everybody is prepared and ready... while sending Lebanon 150+ million in funds today 😂😂😂

New to Hurricane Corridor. Since Helene, we learned that the system is quite fragile. Gas was out, generators were out, no grocery. Some places still have no power, and no water because pump failed without power. Food in fridge rotten and groceries shelf are empty. Can’t cook because of no power and no gas. Hope people in the passage of Milton be safe.
@MyDawgyLovesMeMoreThanIDeserve exactly, though it is even better to move away from constant hurricane areas
Why do you live there? 🤔
And now Teslas going up like popcorn. If you or your neighbor has one, or any other ev or hybred ev thing they have to leave behind, warn them to park the damned things away from building, and switch your electric breakers off before you evacuate. ♥️ Take care!
@@SewingBoxDesigns I heard they make a good pool heater if you can get it in there. 🤣
You have to keep a supply kit that you check at the end of July every year.
- 1 month supply of non-perishable food, water, and water purification per person
- Camping stove with a month's worth of fuel
- Lights and radios with spare batteries (if you have HAM certification it's even better)
- Generator with at least a couple weeks fuel if you plan to shelter in place
- Flares are also a good idea if you stay in place to get attention if needed
- Keep your car fully fueled at all times during the season with a spare can filled as well for extra range
- Keep your inventory for insurance up to date
- Keep a bugout bag with clothes and camping supplies packed and in your car
- Make sure important documents and data are packaged and ready to go
- Keep everything packaged in a way where everything you can fit in your car can be loaded in under an hour for evacuation
- Make sure you have ammunition to handle looters
I know it doesn't help now, but you've got the hard lesson on what you need for next season. Good news is most of it is _always_ valuable for emergency preparedness and will last for a long time without need for replacement. Hang in there.
Love the golf ball commercial before the video as people are trying to get out to live. Ya cant control the ad, but still funny.
Thank you for this coverage. Hope you and others down there are safe. We sold our house in 2016 and left St. Petersburg for NY. My heart breaks for my former neighbors, who fared fairly well during Helen, but Milton looks terrifying. Stay safe and evacuate!
Somebody please help this guy and his boat. Wow. God bless him. ❤
I know he needs to get the hell OUT of there 😢😱
@@yvonne2965What does he have to lose anymore? Same situation for millions of americans. Your country is lost. Weak people create tough times.
Why? A person does need to assist others who are committed to self destruction. He resigned his fate by acceptance.
I don't think he realizes that this is supposed to be the worse storm since 1921. This will be a catastrophic event. I hope they do a follow up story for this poor fella.
@@NewsStuff-y5o exactly, when he says "I will swim" , i think he has no idea of the intense weather that is coming.
This is excellent reporting and advice ! Better than cable news
Anything's better than cable.
Where do that number of people evacuate to? Its unfathomable and heartbreaking, especially seeing most have damaged homes already. 😢
Old mate on his boat, I hope you survive! Your outlook on life is amazing and I wish you well.
I waited 7 hours for sandbags, there was a 5 hour long line in Walmart (I walked out but that's what the manager in front said when I walked in), 1-2 hour wait for gas (with gas now completely sold out) and Lowe's/Home Depot's parking lot was full. Like no parking spots. This was yesterday and I live 54 miles from Tampa.
The most comprehensive coverage out there.
Good editing. Well done piece. Thanks for making this. I really hope everyone is safe.
🫂🇦🇺🙏
Great work ! Praying for you all.
Thank you!
Prayers for families fighting this deadly hurricane ❤❤
Pray all you want, Invisible Sky Daddy is the one sending the cat 5 hurricane in the first place
@@OnAChairSitting I didn't know an invisible thing could do anything. lmao Now THAT'S a miracle! I mean, even invisible means he exists. You just can't SEE him. lol
@Earthgal1964 You must be new here then. Santa, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy ... All invisible. Why do you think we can't see them either?
We lived in Pinellas County, FL 1985-2023.
Got tired of the near constant heat and humidity and storms. We moved to the mid-west.
Praying those who want to get out can and those who must stay are watched over by God.
you were smart, storms like this can happen again in the future, visit Florida don't live there
Prayers for you, your family and all of those affected by this terrible force of nature. Watching from Australia and praying for you all.
This was better than the news!
Milton is an ominous name for a hurricane. Paradise Lost. My grandparents owned and managed the Skyline Motel and Apartments back in the 1960's in Madeira Beach. It's been changed and enlarged, but it's still there today, Oct. 8th, 2024. It was a paradise to me as a child.
What a beautiful wife you have, your treasure is where your heart is. God bless all.
Loads better than one named Chester😳😳😂
Nah. Every time I hear Milton I think of The Simpsons.
@@stargazer7644 Milhouse. GOOD CHRIST
There's so much valuable content in this video. Thank you for making it and I pray for the best for everyone.
My heartfelt concerns are with those facing the hurricane and storms. I'm grateful for your thorough reporting on this distressing situation.
Still remember those typhoon days from our country...before and after typhoon,people are panic buying (groceries,gas for gaslamps,batteries for flashlights,etc) some towns have checklists..so.scary esp if theres no electricity during the night..mother nature is fierceful and has a way to bring back humanity by helping one another in times like these..RIP for those who died and keep safe guys
Good luck everyone, stay safe. I'm from northern Australia. I was sandbagging earlier in the year for a cyclone.
I have a buddy Jason who chases all of them from Darwin
Thanks Buddy
Hey Jonathan, mad respect for the work you're doing. So much better reporting than anything coming out of corporate news outlets. I know my response on your other video about Helene in FL was a little salty, but I promise it's coming from a place of love and concern, and I really hope you and all the folks on the Gulf coast are battened down and ready for this. I'm hoping the forecast is wrong and this all turns into a nothingburger, but if it's as bad as it's starting to look like, I promise I won't say I told you so. Just stay safe and keep others on the right path, man. Good luck out there.
Stay safe! keep us posted! Helene just left her devastation & Milton bringing more! all America’s eyes are watching & praying 🙏
Just take the family photo album…and get the hell out of dodge!
Thank you. Sarasota Florida here. We appreciate your love and support! 🙌🏼💚☀️🙋🏻♀️
@@deannehuizenga4845there's not enough gas or time to get far enough away! We have nowhere to go.
@user-bv9vn4wt8l - Yeah, god should protect these people. I mean, god created this hurricane, and will unleash it on these people for whatever reason, but he should also protect them. How about if god never created a destruction hurricane like that in the first place? That would be nice.
@@deannehuizenga4845 😂right!
Our continuous prayers and contributions r with all of Florida residents and those suffering from Helene. We love u and praying protection over u and your families. Americans do care! All eyes of this Nation are in this storm. Praying ✝️🛐💔
Good luck to everyone. Jonathan you are giving the most comprehensive reporting on the hurricanes. Clare from Scotland ❤
The boat guy's faith is admirable 🙏🏾
He's crazy... I hope he lives to tell his testimony of surviving this thing
His faith is delusional. That boat will be in splinters.
