Buffalonian here: My area regained power about 20 hours ago.. It's really bad here we still have people that are going on day for with no heat no electricity.... We have multiple reports of looting and many different parts of Buffalo, different neighborhoods... I'm just thankful that the electricity's background and the heat's back on.... But as I listened to the AM radio and hearing all the casualties and all the bad news and all the people that have been lost it just breaks my heart. It's just really crazy when you don't even have emergency services for days on end there were so many medical emergencies we had to help each other, in true Buffalo style! So we basically proved it again we are the city of good neighbors!..( For the most part lol)
That’s right that Fire wants to be tough not gonna happen when it messes with a huge blizzard like that one that is actually helping the heroic firefighters fight it
Western New York was as prepared as we could be. The storm hit sooner than predicted and lasted longer than expected. This cleanup will take a long time.
I'd like to know when the local Governments are going to start treating these big Lake Effect storms more seriously other than pointing out the obvious. God forbid Government be pro active like shutting down roads completely ahead of the storm, not when it's already here, forcing and enforcing "stay at home" policy. Im not a fan of any govt. forcing anything but people cant seem to put 2 and 2 together and would force these businesses that are basically controlled by their Headquarters who are hundreds and hundreds miles away, not effected by any of this to shut down til its over. We see and hear for days ahead of any hurricane to prepare, evacuations, local govt's shutting everything down etc. This is Buffalo's second go-around in about a month with a major winter storm and even "major" is an understatement but it seems like they did little to prepare other than if this was a regular type storm.
Lessee, no one moving their cars because the driving ban. No plowing. Storm chasers exempt from the driving ban or they got fine and even bail money handy?
How did they catch fire? Can we have some explanation,please? These homes are built way to close to each other. I don't think any kids are being dropped off at the Busy Bee Child Daycare Center today.
A good portion of the city was (still is) without power, if I had to guess they could have been trying to heat their home with the oven/stove. That is just a guess though, there are may other ways it could have started. As for the homes being close together, a lot of the city is like this. A lot of the houses are quite old too, for example the house I grew up in was build in 1909.
This is what happens when the city doesn't clear the streets of snow, fire trucks unable to respond to house fires. Also without electricity, homeowners utilizing fireplaces resulting in chimney fires.
Winter started 5 days ago and buffalo is only 2 inches away from their average season total of 95 inches so you’re wrong about the snowfall being bad. Some places got 1 ft with this storm some got 6ft
What happen to using Tire Chains? They don't work no more? How come the firetrucks don't have Tire Chains? The police cars do, how come our Fire fighters don't have snow chains, and the ambulances? What a major disaster!
I promise you will be just fine. Welcome to AmeriKaren. Where everyone has to complain about something. For obvious reasons they have to do it so it does not get taken by other broadcasters. Best thing is you even had to announce your departure. Sad
Appreciation to the firefighters and all first responders. Their job isn’t easy even in good weather conditions. I hope everyone is safe.
Oh my God... This is so sad! Poor animals and peoples there.😞 Hugs from Croatia! 🤍

The heat from the fire melted the snow off all the neighboring houses... Incredible sight
This is horrible. Hope everyone got out safely.
Prayers an hugs to everyone in Buffalo, including all furbabies
Oh my! Hope everyone is safe!
Oh no! So sad! Sending prayers from Thee Chi!🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
Praying for family!
tough day . thanks for the video .
Praying for the best possible outcome for everyone involved.
How sad. It happens every year. I hope no one died.
That’s right that Fire wants to be tough not gonna happen when it messes with a huge blizzard like that one that is actually helping the heroic firefighters fight it
Not the first fire in this blizzard that was a complete loss due to impassable roads.
Wow. Great footage.
much love for the firefighters and the cities snow plows that try
Never seen a Country so un prepared considering this happens every year now.
county ?
God I pray for my family
Is this West Seneca, NY? I got a cousin who lives in that area! Goodness I hope she is okay, I can't call her, no power!
So many people dead and so many still buried along with their kids and animals. This is crazy.
Like the snow wasn’t enough now a fire 🔥? WTF 😮

2:29 that's a first to see for me.

People will just whine about their rights being infringed.
They should have more snow plows and start plowing early.
There's never been a song called "f**k the fire department" ♥

Wow
Foarte bine faceti , ca stingeti zapada cu apa !
What street is this?
Yes
If possible, can you show a location that got 6’ of snow?

@@Adalein Low chance an stove would of caused the fire .
Maybe homeowners didn't keep up with chimney maintenance but became desperate enough to try their luck at using unmaintained fireplace for heating.

Hope everyone was ok.
Heartbreaking.
Sad NFL players got resources that should've been used for the trapped citizens needing medical attention!
Stupid comment 🙄
What a job these poor fire fighters have! What a mess
Look at the Buffalo fire department busting there butts,moving quickly
😞🙏
The snowfall is not that bad they havent plowed which is odd its actually a pretty average winter nothing extreme not NEGATIVE temps.

2:33 wow ?
So cold

How's that fractured shin feeling bubba?
snow mobile sales should be going on.
Looks good, can you ship that water to arizona..oh and don't use federal funds to fix it, we will take that snow for free!!
I hope these storm chasers are from New York and not just here to gawk and show off what a devastion this is.. feel sorry for these people..
Almost looks like third world country
As much as I like your videos, I am going to stop watching because of the bouncing storm chasing icon.
I promise you will be just fine. Welcome to AmeriKaren. Where everyone has to complain about something. For obvious reasons they have to do it so it does not get taken by other broadcasters. Best thing is you even had to announce your departure. Sad
Thank you for that wonderful retirement speech. We will miss you and we wish you luck in your future endeavors.
Hey Karen...this isnt an airport..no need to announce your departure.🖕
