Florida Faces Dire New Threat In Hurricane Ian’s Aftermath
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 сен 2022
- Flood waters are pushing levees to their breaking points. This afternoon, a levee near the Myakka River was compromised, forcing hundreds to flee. The death toll across the state is exploding, with at least 77 now dead. About 35 of those from Lee County alone. More than 5,000 Florida National Guard members are working alongside FEMA to provide relief while neighbors pitch in to help those who lost everything.

#HurricaneIan #Florida #Aftermath
Bless those wonderful ladies who brought food for the rescue crews and the survivors.
Yes Amen. Very blessed to have them do all that
scripted and staged for the camera's
Bad times bring out the best in people. Kudos to all those who are helping.
@@acgillespie the death numbers are fake?
Simping is haram
That vet made me tear up. I hope him and his family are able to get back what they need
Impeach Biden first
Not to worry though, Republicans have assured us that it's all fake news... The disabled Vet? Fake. The flooding, the hurricane? All fake news.
@@chinavirus841 that’s never gonna happen. Unfortunately
@@chinavirus841 Seriously? You MUST be a bot because no actual human would be this heartless.
@@chinavirus841 Hate to break your heart bud but Biden nor any other president can control the weather.
If we want tragedies like this to not continue? We need to stop allowing insurance to pay for rebuilds in the same place.
The governor needs to get involved and stop smacking his pie hole
We moved out of this area literally a few months ago. I'm still in shock. 35ish years of my life just washed away. I'm so thankful to be safe but this is heavy on my heart.
@@privilegedwhitemale306 I grew up there, 35 years of memories I can never show my kids, etc. Don't make light of people you don't know their stories.

@@privilegedwhitemale306 Like yourself? It would be the "privileged white male" looking to start drama 🙄 especially since one could clearly determine that they weren't talking about material possessions (the moving away part). It was implied that they were talking about how it hurt knowing the are they had known for 35 years was now destroyed
Glad they responded to you
@@hufflepuffxlovex Whats privileged, is thinking everyone else interpreted something the same way you did. Dont accuse me of starting drama, when you don't have the self restraint to stay out of something not directed at you. I know why your actually butthurt though. Its the flag and name isn't it. Now go ahead and deny it.
@Repent and believe in Jesus Christ LOL. Take your mythology elsewhere.
I'm in Puerto Rico and finally got light today after two weeks with none. pulling on a generator everyday and up all night to make sure the exhaust is being directed outside...I can't even imagine what they are going thru...prayers up
I have deep sympathy with PUERTO RICO, a country which does not gloat over others' catastrophes, as the Florida governor gloated over California's wild fires, and New Jersey's hurricane Sandy....and who, moreover, thundered that the feds could not bail everyone out. Different story now, huh, Ronnie De Santis?
@@patricias5122 How come Biden hasn't showed up in PR? They need fuel and water and power and zero from Joe. At least Trump showed up and gave support and handed out supplies. I guess Biden doesn't like Brown people.

I feel for everyone affected by this Hurricane, the feeling of seeing your home destroyed and having to start over is a lot,I've had to to start over from Hurricane Laura. Stay strong
Arcadia Florida here! There’s been a lot of help around the county, I noticed some out of state help and it’s really heartwarming knowing people are getting the help they need.
BE CAREFUL ABOUT OUT OF STATE REPAIR COMPANIES AND CREWS. IF SOMEONE ISN'T LICENSED IN FLORIDA OR A NEIGHBOR STATE (MAKE SURE YOU ACTUALLY S E E THE LICENSE) DON'T DON'T DON'T HIRE THEM. I SAW SCAMMERS STEAL PEOPLE'S MONEY AFTER KATRINA. ANYONE WHO YOU ARE THINKING ABOUT HIRING, TAKE PICTURES OF THEM, THEIR CREW, TRUCKS, DRIVERS LICENSE. IF THEY COMPLAIN, DON'T HIRE THEM.
Amen
how are you guys holding up? its flooding from Joshua creek is somewhat hard to reach yall.... I think only US 17 is open from Punta Gorda to reach Arcadia. hadn't heard of SR 31 opening there.
My parents havent been able to reach the home near 80th and oak hill. The river is so flooded and theres no way in to be able to check the home and tend to it. Its so devestating
wow that's a beautiful town. didn't know you had a river nearby... ok looking at it via google earth. but you have elevation in that town well above that river so doubt you'll have flooding issues there. I'm around 20' above MSL but no rivers (I'm in PBC) and we have no issues with rain here no matter how much we get. choose wisely WHERE you live in FL many places are just not safe but almost all of them are along the coast or on these barrier islands. far as I'm concerned only stupid people live there.
TY EVERYONE FOR HELPING US. The amount of responders has been extremely overwhelmingly amazing! THANK YOU
make sure you thank Washington for sending more money to ukraine
Maybe ask your government to be more responsible with the rest of our tax dollars
@@swaggytoast5242 neither the time nor the place, child.
@@nicholasfarrell5981 Agree. He needs to go back to his video games.
@@swaggytoast5242 I do think Washington for helping Ukraine cuz it's going to keep American kids safe at home . And Ukrainians value freedom and show gratitude. Poland and other countries threw their doors open to the refugees that the Russian war created. Florida thinks it's cute to lure refugees from Texas, a state that receives more federal dollars than they pay, and use them as pawns in a domestic culture war. And here is Florida man showing his unappreciatve a$$ to the world. Maga is a cult. Get out of it before they get you to do something stupid like trying to storm the US capitol.
Sadly, Ronnie, the government simply doesn't have the money to bailout Florida. We cannot evoke a "put it on the credit card" type of spending. Well, that's what DeSatan said when he voted against FEMA funds to be sent to NY after Hurricane Sandy. Let's do as DeSatan advocated himself. After all, Florida is in Hurricane alley, so Florida should have money set aside for Hurricane relief.
They don't want to evacuate but will blame FEMA for a slow response 🤷♀️
1:44... "I just thank God that we're alive." Amen my friend. God bless you and keep you safe.
I remember driving around Florida in the 60s an large portions of the state were uninhabited. No Disney, no nothing. I could walk for miles on beaches an never see another footprint. Those same areas are highrise condos now. Maybe this part of the world was not meant to be over populated with people.
True it's like a giant dried up beach
@@amuseher It’s because they’re unpredictable. I was in the projected path in St. Pete, so I evacuated to Daytona Beach. It missed St Pete almost completely and hit us here 140 miles north west.
This is so heartbreaking but is nice to see good people helping. Good bless those who lost all and those making a difference helping them.
I have lived in Florida my whole life, all 36+ years. I have seen hurricanes like Michael, Irma, Charley, Andrew, ect slam into this state. I have seen the devastation before, and I have been through a few hurricanes myself. But this kind of destruction, I have never seen before, this is literally like Michael mixed with Katrina, just absolute devastation. I am still without power myself but I am thankful as I still have a home and running water, we were very fortunate.
My most sincere condolences to those that have lost (for what little it means in the grand scheme of things), and I wish you a streamlined non BS filled rapid recovery. If I can get in on volunteer disaster recovery supply flights as a co-pilot I will sign up as soon as possible to help with efforts.
I went through hurricane Michael as a direct hit in Panama City. My heart hurts for these people. It's surreal and heartbreaking to wake up one morning in your home and not to have a home in the evening. Nothing can compare to the red skies and broken homes. This is some of the worst devastation I've ever seen from flood and strong winds. I hope for swift recovery to occur and for the people who live in South-central Florida to receive help they deserve. Lots of love!
Same I was in Parker and it really left me broken I hope everyone is ok
@@gir2x260 i am in southwest ga. This place is still destroyed
I'm an hour and a half west of where Michael hit. I have friends who worked at the newspaper in Panama City and were trapped inside the building as the roof collapsed. The photos they shared afterwards was devastating! I feel for you all that went through Michael. And having been to Sanibel Island, it breaks my heart seeing them going through the same devastation!
🙌Stay Strong🐾❤
Let's Go Biden. All of a sudden Florida wants to build back better.
My heart goes out to these people. It reminds me of dealing with the levee breaks after Hurricane Katrina. Truly horrifying.
right. imagine living below sea level right next to the ocean an never thinking what if.
Shouldn't be building homes and cities in the middle of a hurricane threat region or on swamp land.
That was another man made disaster
@@BillySBC it's a republican state 😂 they aren't too bright...
@@modestmousecoloredperson. you shouldn't reproduce...
I experienced 4 hurricanes in Florida. I was totally displaced by hurricane Wilma lost everything. I was living in a rental community. Water was coming in from everywhere in that building and fire marshals came and shut the place down. I had to grab stuff and leave in a hurry. I feel tears when I remember.....so I know how these people feel. My heart feel sad for them. ❤️❤️
It isn't going to change but it could well get worse, maybe a lot worse.
Why would county or state planners allow mobile homes, when they know, without a doubt that it’s a hurricane prone area, and the homes will be destroyed if the area is hit AGAIN? I saw it in Lee County myself after hurricane Sandy.
God bless those responders and their families!
AMEN
god caused this
Trump? 😅😅😅
God God is angry with these states for their anti-abortion bills
@Felipe Meza You are disgusting Felipe Hope you are never in an awful sit Please pray instead of make fun of people
My heart breaks for everyone affected. I have lived through 7 floods I know what it's like... Please listen.. those homes that flooded are now like a cancer.. do not try to repair them.. move or rebuild new. If it happened once it will happen again... Stay safe... be thankful to be alive many are not !
True...the mold will be just one of many hazards.
Sad but true
❤❤❤
I feel the Same way.... I'm going to donate Money 💵
No rebu8lding. I have asked the government to stop putting money in dangerous places. I live in Florida but I have a class 5 house up higher than the others. No way I'm paying to rebuild houses in a danger zone. If mine goes, I take the money and build in the Ga. mountains.
I’ve been through many hurricanes, and as a child our family came home to about 25 trees down and trees through our roof and car on our property on Choctawhatchee Bay growing up. It’s hard and I feel so much for everyone going through this now. I don’t live in Florida but still own part of family property on the bay. Thinking about everyone. ❤️
I’m from manatee county, though my area was not as affected compared to what they’ve experienced .. it breaks my heart knowing people lost their lives & homes💔
I feel guilty about being grateful it didn’t hit us as bad in Lakeland, FL as it was first predicted to. This type of stuff humbles you for sure!
Maybe its a warning for you to move before a hurricane drags you with it
it takes a special kind of person to live in a place where a giant storm that destroys everything is a 100% probability over the course of a normal lifetime.
Reeeeal special.
Same special kind that lives where there are tornadoes, earthquakes, volcanoes and tidal wave. Nowhere is a 100 percent safe. Welcome to planet Earth.
Your ignorance is showing. Would you rather, the drought and blistering temperatures in the southwest and massive wildfires, hurricanes along all coastal communities on the eastern, and gulf seaboard, drought, and frigid temperatures in the midwest, with ungodly storms and tornados. Oh, earthquakes too. Pick your poison my friend. Nowhere on earth is safe from Mother Nature.
Heartbroken for all those affected by the hurricane 🙏
so send some more money to Ukraine...

Tears flowing everyday. I lived on Pine Island and worked at Island Pharmacy with Reggie. It's just surreal. Came back to New York in '18. I just love ya'll and hope that you can find the help you need. For those folks that say people should have left, stop being ridiculous. This was so many people's dream of retirement from years of work and sacrifice.
There is nothing quite like listening to a pack of rabid MAGA nitwits telling us how ungrateful they are for all the disaster relief Biden is sending them.
NYC has gotten hit & had more damage with hurricanes Isabel, Irene, Sandy & Ida than many Fl cities.

When they were told to evacuate they should have listened. PERIOD.
@@privilegedwhitemale306 nothing wrong here
My grandfather moved to Florida more inland and north of Tampa like 12 years ago. He knew he was coming to the end of his life and he was warning us that Florida would eventually end up under water. He passed about a year and a half ago. I wish I could give more than love to the people who are suffering.
Sorry to hear about your dad. May he RIP.
My heart goes out to those that have been left homeless. So much for Florida being THE place to live. Living near the water seems to be a dangerous thing to do these days. I left Florida 20 years ago, and have no regrets...
Somebody should ask DeSantis, “Which do you enjoy more: hypocrisy or lying?”
My heart really goes out to everyone. This is an awful thing no one should have to experience. I hope people can get the help they need because this is just horrible...

My dearest sympathy to the people affected 😢💔🙏🙏
I am affected.
I am annoyed and bored by all the white privilege retirees that ruined this country that are getting sympathies for CHOOSING to live in hurricane alley year after year
@@USMCCombatVet4TastyCrayons Rational people are really tired of hearing the phrase "white privilege".
@@toneloc7910 white privilege? White privilege, huh?
"Rational" people.
"Rational" people know that "white privilege merely describes a variety of entitlements and opportunities INHERENT on a system both ANECDOTALLY and STATISTICALLY proven to provide greater advantages to the majority than minorities.
In fact, you could just as easily use the term Japanese Privilege, if you are living in Okinawa or some other part of Japan.
It is merely a term for a group of social/ sociological phenomenon - some bad, some neutral.
"Rational" people don't get so easily threatened (defensive) about such REALITIES merely being thrown out there to reveal the "rational" peasant stock (like yourself). I mean, seriously, I have more trouble FISHING than I do baiting YOUR kind to pop up and make dumb comments to let me know who to flag as anything BUT "rational."
No, what you are is selfish and motivated by self-serving biases, at best, or a raging bigot and uneducated DENIER of the historical (and present-day) facts of the western socioeconomic disparities - most of which are remnants of DECADES of laws and policies (and BEHAVIORAL CULTURE) CREATED to either deny minorities access (to loans, housing, legal protections, marital rights, etc.) or simply afford unjust advantages to the majority caste.
In fact, "white privilege" in and of itself isn't even evil or malicious, it is just the phenomenon that has come from the socioeconomic history and the resulting cultures of a complicated western world.
I am sorry you, clearly, take it so personal though. Sounds like a YOU problem.
Maybe see a therapist to resolve your conflicted lifestyle and choices?
Or, perhaps, see a doctor about a lobotomy for that pesky conscience that acted up when it read "white privilege." I mean, why else would a "rational" person get so butthurt by a "rational" phenomenon - unless the 💩-ty side of your character was having trouble silencing the moral side that you keep locked up and gagged in a basement in the back of your withered and rotting soul?
Xoxo
WHITE PRIVILEGE
Pray that they will be able to recover their power quickly & rebuilt or fix w/minium costs
mobile home community near coast？ its a bad idea from beginning.
We’re numb and overwhelm😢. It’s very frustrating! No power, no running water! Driving a car is like riding on a boat!! It’s the worst thing ever happened to us here in Fl.
The hits just keep on coming. I am a resident of Southeast coastal N.C. and have been thru numerous hurricanes and tropical storms some dropping 15 or more inches of rain in a couple of days. I ve been flooded out twice, the last time my house was basically destroyed from roof damage that allowed rain water to enter my home soaking everything from above. All that rainfall 15+ inches in two days caused flooding, standing water soakI ng everything , furniture, appliances, clothing in my house. The last impact from that storm was the mold that made my home unlivable so I know what those in Fla. impacted by Ian are going thru and can expect in days ahead. Typically after a hurricane passes it becomes sunny and unbearably hot. No power , no air conditioning and usually no clean water makes clean up, cooking meals , bathing and just trying to live in general a challenge if you haven't been thru be thankful.
I would like to express my sorrow to all affected and will keep you in my prayers. My condolences for those that lost family members and loved ones. I know most of what you have endured, are, and will continue to go thru. Myself and this country love you all and wish to express our sorrow for your losses and hope and prayers for your recovery.
God bless you all.
Praying for Florida and South Carolina!
God said no
mobile home in hurricane alley...next to a beach ?
From the bottom of my heart I truly appreciate everyone’s thoughts and prayers as a Floridian who has been impacted by this horrific storm!! It is truly heartbreaking to see the devastation first hand! I live in an areas that has been flooded! My home is 16 months old and I had a roof leak and some foundation issues. Myself and about 15 other residents in our community!! Same issues faulty builder!! Smh!! I am still blessed because at least I have a home many don’t and for many they lost EVERYTHING!!! 😭😭😭
I just keep wondering WHY more didn’t evacuate on time. It’s truly heartbreaking to see how many have lost lives and are now stranded. The reports have been on the news for over a week now.
Things will get rebuilt and in few more years this will repeat. A never ending cycle.
Just like here. We have had several tornados and we keep going, keep rebuilding.
It Keeps America's fraud and corruption machine running smoothly
You'd think people would learn
@@kroto7451 learn what?
@@misch2k not to build on a swamp.
As hurtful as it may sound, areas that were heavily affected need to ask whether rebuilding should happen. The shallower shelf on the western side of Florida makes it possible for storm surges to get very tall. As the sea surface temperature warms and sea level slowly rises more destruction will occur in these coastal areas. Government in Florida needs to think about how they are going to deal with coastal properties and the Keys, because the frequency of stronger hurricanes is not going to go down.
It won't happen. They are in utter and total denial of reality.
It doesn't sound hurtful, just wrong. The sea level has been rising since the last ice age 11k years ago. This is evident in the geological record, if you look especially at the natural history of the Florida coastline (it's a good example). Sea level rise is actually slowing down. In all the many years I've lived by the sea, there has been no change. It's not going to get much higher than this before it begins a cyclical retreat.
@@themuse11 What sea level does where you live bears no relation to anything. Sea level change is different all over the world.
It is not slowing down and there is no evidence to support that assertion.
Let's face reality about American "culture". Once upon a time, a Democrat made a movie about carbon in the atmosphere and its effects, and ever since that moment , half of this god damned country has been behind a wall of denial because they are too STUPID to understand the simplest scientific principal. And one more thing... like covid, if one cannot grasp the simplest parts of statistics, you will never understand what' going on.
@@themuse11 Could you cite a source for the decrease in sea level rise near Florida? I was not able to find a source myself but maybe you have one. Yes sea level rise has increased since the last glacial maximum, and will still continue with the metling of glaciers, ice sheets, and thermal expansion. The problem isn't even the sea level rise. It is that the warmer sea water of the gulf feeding Hurricanes a lot and making them gain intensity rather quickly. The storm surges from these hurricanes are literally going to keep tearing the western coast of Florida year after year. Natural negative feedbacks of the ocean wont kick in for thousands to hundreds of thousands of years. That is why my comment suggests that Florida must rethink what they will do with these areas to see if it is safe/ worth it for people to keep rebuilding in these most impacted areas.
Should we stop building where there are blizzards and tornadoes? How about earthquakes and typhoons? Seems like would be a big amount of earth we'd leave uninhabited. Where all these people gonna go?
Bless everyone who’s caught in the devastating path of Ian!! 🙏
It hurts to see and feel so much devastation. May you have the endurance to rise again and heal from such traumatic experience. My prayers are with you all.
Being hurt by Maria, 2017, in Puerto Rico and by other many my heart goes out to all those suffering loses .
"May you have the endurance to rise..." to a higher elevation inland, and rebuild there instead.
Yet people still won't learn to not live on the coast. Weather is fantastic as always here in new Hampshire.
Is it a liberal pit?..... serious.......Might move to inland NE.....
Heartbreaking. Prayers up for Florida and the Carolinas.

Prayers and blessings for all affected in Florida.
To any sees this that’s in Florida I’m from eastern ky we got a really bad flood 2 months ago a lot lost homes and businesses I hope everyone gets to safety and be safe
Mobile homes in hurricane areas are a joke
my heart goes out to you folks in Florida ,I,m in Jamaica ,we are getting some rain and sunshine.
Ft. Myers is in Lee County. So heartbreaking to see this area devastated. 7 foot storm surge.
So devastating and yet people are still moving there in droves. We know these storms are getting stronger and the water levels will be higher and more destructive.
Oh my goodness there are no words. These poor people
No cure for stupid... they should have left when ordered to and not come back until allowed to.
Lack of common sense to live there in the 1st place... alligator tears for thinking it would never happen to me???
May the memory of those whose lives were lost in this terrible tragedy be forever honored and loved, and may those who have survived against incredible odds find their way to brighter days ahead. And may the brave first responders, who put their own precious lives at risk every day to save the lives of those who cannot save themselves, be safe and protected always.

With love and blessings from Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, planet Earth, Milky Way galaxy, our Universe. May your light shine for eternity. 🕯🌎🙏💕
Wow it's almost as if living in a hurricane prone swamp was a bad idea!
I know exactly what these people are going through, as I went through Hurricane Ida last year. Hurricane Katrina in '05... I went through Hurricane Betsy when I was 8 months old, and so many more since. So I'm used to it. Most of these poor souls aren't... God Bless and help them.
it really looks horrific ...l'm sending love from Australia we truly understand the pain your feeling ....God bless you all stay safe
I live in South Louisiana and have gone through some tough storms going all the way back to Betsy and Camille in the 1960s to Andrew in the 90s and Ida recently, so my heart goes out to the residents impacted by this latest storm. I have to wonder, though, if their Governor is still proud of the fact that he (AND RUBIO) voted NO on federal disaster relief to NY/NJ after Hurricane Sandy hit them back when they were in Congress?
Rubio voted NO on funding for Florida Ida, yesterday. WTF?!
@@bevidobb7293 yup, and the other one didn't even show up. Guess that was his way of voting "No" while still being able to tell his base that he did NOT vote AGAINST the aide, but unless you actually live in FL, the majority sees what he is doing.
I was living here during Hurricane Andrew and this is more devastating. My son lives over there but thank God he and the family made it okay.
that's because Andrew was really moving and it was tiny. you had to right under the eyewall to get wiped by Andrew.
That is terrible,those poor people. Prayers for our friends in Florida.
Why pray?

And now their small government can come to their rescue. 😂
@@60zeller The weather sent the storm .

So devastating. Hope many blessings come after the storm. Those people deserve blessings ☆
My thoughts and prayers go out to SW. Florida and esp. Fort Myers, I have been fortunate enough to call Fort Myers home for four years and those have been the four best years of My life! Everyone has been kind to me there and I have always felt like it was home! My heart goes out to all who are suffering and I know they will re build ! God bless Fort Myers!!

@@henryhawkins1194 lol downtown is mostly businesses. Like I said fort myers is fine. Very little damage there. Power and water are already working.
I'm in Florida and very fortunate in my location. I just cant believe this, the destruction, loss of life and so many areas completely demolished. These poor people have no homes, cars to get to work, and the list goes on. My heart is totally broken.
Thank you for showing us the yacht parking where so many people lost their vacation trailers. That is the part that really strikes a chord with me. How can we sleep tonight knowing a yacht landed on a double-wide.
When you live at sea level during hurricane season what do you expect?
This is hard to watch for all. However, stop building by the ocean and on the sand. Secondly, make the bridge above the water not on top of the water. Thirdly, don't wait for the next disaster to move out.
Heartfelt best wishes and hopeful thoughts to everyone who has been affected by Ian. To be caught in a hurricane is a terrible and frightening thing.
Praying for those in Florida who have lost everything. You are in my thoughts and prayers. May you be comforted to know that help is coming your way. You are not alone.
My prayers go out to all the families affected by Hurricane Ian!!
Literally the least you can do.
I'm forced to pay for your Jesus schools now. You should STFUP.
Useless.
I drove back home from Vero Beach to Clearwater yesterday.
I passed sections that were dry before the hurricane that now have flooding as far as I could see on both sides of the road going for miles at a time along highway 60 in several areas across the state.
I literally watched three people get into bad car accidents over the course of a four hour drive because a lot of traffic lights on intersections of multi lane highways were cut off from power when huge sections of lines were torn down.
Considering that I kept way north of the worst of it, I think this is gonna take a lot of work to recover from.
Prayers for all of Florida and those who are hurting from this storm.
I'm in Miami and a Andrew survivor! You can prepare but your never really prepared with storms like this! Your best to get to higher ground is about all you can do and hope for the best! Just hope all those can get through the shock and pain and begin to rebuild their lives!
I bet most older mobile homes had no insurance .
Thank you all for the kindness and get well soon comments. We appreciate it and we'll get better soon.

Quit living at sea level in an area with no topography and these things won't be so bad.
I grew up in South Florida. Only in the last 20 years or so do the streets literally flood on days when there is no rain. Water comes up from manholes and drains. In parts of Miami they are raising the streets so that cars can drive without being flooded. They need to keep replenishing the beaches with dredged up sand. You would think the Republicans who control Florida politics would realize that their state is the most vulnerable to rising sea levels and climate change.
maybe Florida and other similar geographic areas should reconsider the states boundaries
It still amazes me that we still act surprised that another Hurricane destroyed a town on the coast. It's even more amazing that people get stranded, hurt and even die knowing the Hurricane is coming like 2 weeks before it hits.
No they did not have weeks, was supposed to hit Tampa Bay area, & suddenly veered southwest.
@@Memow-pk1ng cause hurricanes never veer off the predicted course. I get it, people don't want to evacuate for no reason, but they still need to have a plan for if and when the hurricane decides to change course.
We in NYC, went through the same thing in late 10/2012, with hurricane sandy!
I know what Floridians are going through
😢
Pretty terrible that the current governor of Florida was opposed to sending relief to NY after Sandy.

MY HEART GOES OUT TO ALL THE FAMILIES IN FLORIDA AND SOUTH CAROLINA I PRAY FOR ALL OF THEM,,.❤
Heartbreaking! Prayers to all ❤ 💪🏽 🙏
Instead of rebuilding they should use that money to buy a home inland so that the odds of having to go through this again is a lot less. Just my two cents
If the workforce moves to far away, there goes the local economy. That's why we should protect them.
Most of the people living in Florida are pretty wealthy and the State does bring in billions in revenue so they ain’t going anywhere. To put it this way some of them could afford to buy up to 5 homes if they could that’s how wealthy most Floridians are. You do hear that there’s a lot of poverty in Florida, but that’s in almost any state. I have to admit that yes they can buy a home or homes in better states that don’t face this challenge, but then again these guys are wealthy and can always claim their houses in an insurance claim etc..
I have a friend who I go to visit every year and he’s lived in Indiana for 10 years, but he recently moved there about 3 years and he tells me that’s the best move he has ever done. He’s opened 5 restaurants there and he’s got 2 homes in the key area and I tell you that guy could buy me 5 times over if he wanted. All I’m saying is most of these guys rely on their businesses not only to survive, but to increase their wealth.
let me think . . . rising ocean, stronger storms, rebuilding on the beach at sea level-
Heck, never mind the rising ocean, people are encouraged and enabled by developers, government, builders, lenders, and insurance cos to build in places where it makes no sense to build and this is the result.
In Tabasco Mexico it took 1 month and a half for the river to return to their place, this is really sad.
I was a late teenager in 92 when Andrew hit Florida and it scarred me for life.. when I saw that storm was hitting land as a Cat4 and possibly becoming a Cat5 once on land I told my co-workers.. this is the stuff of nightmares. This is total roof collapse, property destruction and deaths. Only it takes once to live through them to see what this does.. My advice to folks not familiar with hurricanes is - board up and secure your home - and evacuate if it's a Cat3 or higher. It is not worth it, houses will be rebuilt but not your lives. It sure breaks my heart once again!
If you believe in Jesus Christ and repent of sins then you won't have to worry about death because once you are in Christ you live for eternity

Terrifying and just painful to see such devastation. Stay strong!! people care very much. Love to all affected from Canada💔
mother nature is greater than anything on this planet. With social media and self absorbance at all time high, mother nature will remind us of the real things in life.
Preach!

lol
The Governor can not be expected to transfer immigrants around the country and worry about Florida infrastructure
Weather warefare revenge
What's saddest is we know this is going to happen next year and there's not a whole lot we can do to stop it.
They're living it up at the hotel Mar-A-Lago. Such a lovely place... There is plenty of room at the hotel Mar-A-Lago...
So sad-& all I hear where I'm at is people crying the stores don't have what they want or they still have no power.....they have no clue how lucky they are.
