Our hearts go out to Mark who is trying to salvage his childhood home. All this water Damage was from Helene and NOW. Milton is coming,, so sorry ,,,,,,glad he and his father are safe. Im praying for all of us.
I am a welder. It's so easy to build a steel fence with inserts you bolt on that make it solid like a wall during a storm and prevent water from coming in. Any water in the yard is drained to a pump.
I'm from Pinellas and I had a dream about a year ago that I was exactly in Treasure Island walking from the beach between the condos while water rushed through them onto to street causing chaos. I thought the dream was weird because this area is not prone to tsunamis and it wasn't like a big tsunami wave either just knee-high water rushing through.
My neighbor used spray foam around the door, which worked, but he didn't put it up high enough, and water came in above the 6" of foam. Here on Davis Island, all the first floors of everything were destroyed.
I live in South Tampa and am first seeing the impact its had, I literally had this same thought - can you use spray insulation foam on the entire outside of your home maybe 5-6ft up top to bottom and would that be a solution? Great business idea especially if storm surge is expected
I get the chills seeing this. We went through this in NJ with storm Sandy in 2012. My Dad lived on a lagoon. He was 96 and in Oct of 2012 when the storm hit. I went down to rescue him as the water was up to the foundation. We went down days later to see the catastrophe. The water line was 3-4 ft on the first floor, and this was a cape cod on a foundation. He stayed with me at my house in central Jersey. My Dad passed 4 months later as his health went downhill after having to leave his castle. The house is gone!
Job so strong faith with God and said,"Naked I came forth from my mother's womb, and naked shall I go back again. The LORD gave and the LORD has taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD!" In all this Job did not sin, nor did he say anything disrespectful of God.
@@gracetou8963 that's your opinion and I don't believe your Biblical propaganda! You can continue to live in your fantasy world! This election year is terrible. The USA has two choices Republicans/ Bible Thumpers and Democrat/ Tree Huggers! I don't like either party 👎👎 Good day🍸😊
Make sure you keep those letters . They are a part of history. You should make copies and give them to the United States Military. Whatever you do. Do not give the originals away.
This was not a direct hit, yet they predicted a 5 to 8ft storm surge in that area. What a surprise, most first floor areas were affected. Why people would stay on an island when they predict a 5 to 8ft storm surge, is just crazy. So blame the authorities for miscalculating the storm surge, unbelieveable. Casualties happen when PEOPLE DO NOT LEAVE.
Bleach doesn't eradicate mold. It gets to surface mold breaking the mold protein shell and spores spread. The moisture from the bleach helps the mold thrive especially the deep mold.
Omg. How is someone that close to water and acting shocked? From there… you expect to be homeless every storm. I kept a giant trunk I evacuated each time to keep valuable items.
Thank goodness these are concrete homes which are rarely being built nowadays. They are salvageable. Hopefully they had flood insurance. So sorry for your losses, sir.. I also live in Pinellas County. I was so freaked out that I spent an entire day packing up keepsakes and valuables and took them to a storage unit. My mobile home community ended up suffering very little damage. There is a very fickle aspect to hurricanes.
When you enter the U.S. illegally you get a free cell phone, free airfare, and a $5000 Visa card. When you’re a legal tax paying citizen and your home and all of your belongings get destroyed by a hurricane you get $750.
God bless ya'll. I bought a 1988 toyota mr 2 from an elderly gentleman in treasure island. Anybody that's heartless and would say these people are insane living on the ocean is an idiot. I love that area.❤
God bless everyone EVERYONE involved in this terrible crisis. I lived in Treasure Island 47 years ago but still vacation there. Broken heart over the destruction. All my favorite places were hit. Ricky T"s, Waffle House ,Seajay Motel, Tahitian Retreat where I lived formerly imperial Tahitian, Foxy's Restaurant, Sloppy Joes, the beach, probably my favorite place. God bless & one day soon Helene will be a distant memory. 🙏
This guy needs his own you tube channel! I like he vibe and positivity and his story is interesting along with the devastataion from this storm everywhere
I'm in shock - my mom sentme this video becausewe were curious after MIlton, as our family has loved Treasure Island for vacation for almost 60 years. That this was Helene... wow, I thought it went further north, but as he said, it was the storm surge and not the winds or rain. Now with Milton... I don't know if my uncle and kids and grandkids will make it down next year, but whenever they do, it will be very different, I'm sure. But, as he said, the people are safe. If you read this far, I even wrote an ebook during the lockdown set in Treasure Island, "Hidden Treasure - A Girl's Story of Faith and Baseball in an Alternate Baseball HIstory. Might find time to make it a print book someday here now and buy a few to donate if there's charity auctions or something, I'm not sure. (The White Sox move to Tampa in '89 as they almost did in our history.) I wish there was more we could do to help. My church does have a fund being raised to support victims of the hurricanes, I will be giving to that.
And now, only a week later, a hurricane predicted to be catastrophic is off the Gulf Coast, soon to bear down on Pinellas again. Sir, please get your father and those letters and get the hell out of there.
This is a prime example of why more people need to get more prepared and think about "Emergency Preparedness Management" for both your home and vehicles. I am a RUclipsr under my Full-Name with the same profile picture as this post with 47 videos covering 27 different category topic subjects sharing my personal knowledge and experiences with others to help others improve their overall adult lives. I've got videos on building yourself a high quality 24-72 Hour Survival Bug Out Bags, Home and Vehicle Preparedness and Readiness advice videos, several Financial Literacy advice videos, a dozen Cooking Creation Recipes videos, and more! That flooded area should also consider looking into Aqua Dams, Dam Easy door barriers products, and WaterBOB Bathtub Emergency Water Storage Container.
There is a reason why the new codes require the first level is non livable storage, my friends father bought a house there in 02 when the government was giving out 75k grants to raise your house, of course everyone who does still builds out the down stairs, I know so many down there with totally built out 1st floors, they lost big money.
You can tell the older homes are not elevated. I don’t know what year the cities or counties implemented laws requiring homes to be elevated. I know a friend on Saint Pete Beach on the water, she’s in a new home and it is high above the water, And the first level is a garage.
The Impossible that movie it looks that way . Ty for sharing Godspeed Sincerely Team Earth 🌎 pace yourself I’d been sick 🤢 a got behind my house 🏠 once I started feeling better I cleaned little each day .
wait, Treasure Iisland IS NOT south of st. petersburg, wtf?? it’s literally a neighborhood within st. petersburg. source: i’m a st pete resident also you can google.
I'm very sorry for your loss. Maybe fix it and sell it and never live near either the Gulf or the Atlantic. There's a reason Walt built Disney World where it's at. Good luck and god bless.
I pray that the Cat.5 be reduced to a Cat. 1 or just a storm. People please get out of the path of a Cat. 5. You will be blown to pieces. These board houses cannot withstand such wind. I would suggest that America put pride through the door revisit their building code and use concrete blocks and steel to build housing which will be in the hurricane-affected areas. Jamaica could be of help to train American board house builders to become masters in building houses using block and steel. I would also recommend that houses should not be less than two stories or levels. Board houses cannot survive a Cat. 5 so run for your lives from Florida. Milton is dangerous if it hits Florida at a Cat. 4 or Cat. 5.
Wow, I used to deliver food around Madiera Beach and Treasure Island area over 6 years ago. Never thought that area would get hit hard by the hurricane even though they didn't get direct hit, the storm surge is what caused the most damage.
When r u Americans going 2 start building homes up on 10 ' steel piping and using concrete instead of wood? Where's the logic in rebuilding with wood ?
Gosh I feel so bad for your horrible water front pool house devastating experience. Those multi million dollar homes are taking such a hit. I hope your boat lift and boat didn't get too much damage and FEMA comes to the rescue as soon as possible. Thank goodness all those barrel tile roofs were able to survive the winds. The pools should be able to be cleaned with a bit of work. Keeping my fingers crossed for you all!
how about not building on the beach, let the area be to nature. We just made our water full of debris, oils, and other harmful things to sea life. They knew the risk of living on the beach. How about thinking of sea life before building on the water. Leave the area for all to enjoy.
Good luck to you sir. I know if your father fought the Nazis, as mine did, you won't be voting for Trump or the GOP. Maybe we can get some folks in office who will fix the climate situation and the insurance mess before the next big one hits.
people should NOT ever be living on barrier islands! mother nature gave us these islands to absorb storm surges and protect the mainland, not for living on! this will only happen again and again with great loss of life and property. so when will people learn?
Our hearts go out to Mark who is trying to salvage his childhood home. All this water Damage was from Helene and NOW. Milton is coming,, so sorry ,,,,,,glad he and his father are safe. Im praying for all of us.
Your a good man working your butt off to restore the property. Exhausting, physical work.
Treasure Island is beautiful! 🙏 🌴

right, like that can hold back the awesome power of the ocean
@@bryanx590 Tampa General Hospital used a company called AquaFence. But everything was destroyed by this surge.
A little full of it, you are
@@treavey1 Yes, if the engineering is correct. Other more advanced and richer nations than the USA do that.
My beautiful home. This is just heartbreaking to witness. God bless everyone.
😢
Almost bought a house there a couple of yrs ago!! Mark God bless you and all the folks there! ....May this new storm NOT destroy treasure island!!!
Great coverage Mark. At the end of the day, our lives seem to boil down to pictures, memories, and family. Most importantly God.
Counting blessings. I love Treasure Island ❤ prayers 🙏🏾

I thought the dream was weird because this area is not prone to tsunamis and it wasn't like a big tsunami wave either just knee-high water rushing through.
I've had premonition dreams as well. I wish we could be told dates too. And then have people believe us and not think we are coo coo.
Dreams are incredibly powerful things and we can definitely see the future through them. I know I have a number of times.
there was no tsunami. and it always floods.
Glad you and your family are ok. Up North hopefully we don’t get hit with mega snowstorms this winter take care🕊️

Doesn’t need to be direct hit. Anything east of the storm or dirty side will see impact.
I just delivered there, it's sad what Madeira Beach went through.😢
so im guessing people should all elevate there houses now?
vinegar is better for mold
