Your family is so blessed!
A great name for a restaurant is BLESSINGS.
Wow, I've never known anyone that experienced hurricane Katrina. What a story!! Thanks for sharing 🙏💞💞💞
Wow….You are so very blessed to have the parents you have. The love they have for each other and their children….you can feel it. Thanks for sharing. ❤
What an Absolutely Amazing Family, I just love them soooooo much.
Your mum should consider writing a book,she has so many interesting stories!So intriguingly beautiful.........
Wow what a GREAT story!!! I think I'll listen to it again! George's laugh is the best and your such a wonderful family. Not many family's could tell a story all together so well!!!
George is a wise man. Thank you for sharing.
George is really agood father. He is a good story teller. Love your family.
What beautiful story tellers. I hung on to every word, from George, Gigi and Chloe. Thank you for sharing your Katrina experience ♡
My husband was watching with me for the first time tonight. He said "she has his lips" referring to Chloe and George. I explained that George wasn't her natural father, but that he was her step-dad and that they were very close. They do look a like!
Wow, what a great and bittersweet story! Thank you for sharing
Your family has been through so much. It makes me pray for your family more. Best of wishes for happier times.
I could never imagine going through something like this Chloe is a real trooper! Could not believe this story first time I heard it I was completely captivated.
Omg the maggots part has me squirming yuk!
Katrina is why we had to move from Alabama (where I was born), to Texas; it messed up our house. It was something else. God bless you in the mighty name of Jesus Christ Your testimony has helped me understand so much about the spiritual realm, and I've used you in two of my documentaries. I truly appreciate you, and know there is an important calling on your life. Thank you for all that you do, my sister❤
I love hearing these stories! ❤
Wow . . . I never thought I could enjoy a story about Katrina until now! How thoroughly entertaining!
Your family is just chock full of stories. I was busy & I just had to stop because your story was mesmerizing. I guess that's why you're all so brave to start something new without a regret or fear. Good for you!
I love your videos with your parents & Chloe.
They are absolute Gems!
Such a blessing that your family was Safe!
Katrina affected so many people.
My Aunt lost her home but she was Safe!
My Sister was a professor in Xavier then. Her house was devasteted.
She told me that for weeks People couldnt cross each other without crying.
I flewed from France few months later to help her to rebuilt the house, that was a great and emotional experience.
Your testimony reminds me those days thank you and god bless you. Olivier
Thank you Lilly, I'm from South Africa. Did'nt realize how bad it was.
CBD. You were a local. Great story telling George. I see how Gigi fell in love with him. I lived in NOLA before Katrina. Smart move to go to Algiers.
Your family is so likeable Lilly. Enjoyed the story. Our family evacuated from Hurricane Rita and Hurricane Ike from Houston. Memorable days.
I am from Pascagoula Mississippi. I love this story. I live in Texas now. God bless y’all. 🙏♥️
Your family’s fighting spirit is a real gift that never diminishes but keeps moving in a horrifying,devastating hurricane Katrina.Thank you our dear spiritual warriors. May God continue to strengthen and bless your family. Thank you, Lilly.
Such a cute family. All good storytellers too.
That story brought back some memories for me... I lived in Houston Tx when Katrina hit. My house was not hit, only a few branches down. I did prep 1 week before it hit, so we were stocked with a lot. Our power was out for 17 days but we did get a generator the last 10 days before power went on! Because I worked for an Airline, the employees were given cases of water and Ice daily. I will never forget Katrina. I'm so glad your family was safe as well. God Bless 🙏🙏🙏
I just love a lot of your clothing line at Grace and Joy!
Thank you for sharing your story. The Lord works in mysterious ways. Your whole family is just so Blessed.
Lily's mom is stunning!
Thank God you all overcame all that devastating events. Love you guys all your stories. Gigi's top is beautiful, I'm going over to Grace &Joy to find it..
Lilly Hubbard, Please let me know if it was you who wrote the reply about Text me on Telegram.... Thank you.
I remember how terrible I heard it was then. So interesting to hear your view of what happened.
Thank you all for sharing your story. I remember my late husband and I
watched on television Katrina hit New Orleans, we watched on television for three days, and we had little sleep. It was the worst natural tragedy I have ever seen in my life.
Hi great family 👪 ,i love your mom ,she is the example how we should belive and do life how God like ,Glory to the lord 🙏
The emathy from your father is great for people who lost their lives good man. What a good man. Wimbledon London

I was working in a hospital outside Atlanta. There was a lot of patient diversion. It was so hard on the
people of NOLA. God Bless them.
Lily I just love this dress your mum is wearing. The colour is so vibrant. Wish I could have it out here in South Africa
God love y’all 🙏♥️
What a time to have lived through! This family is resilient and amazing!
Great respect for George. And all of you! And we all know the horrors of Katrina because the entire country watched it for months. Such a great story of gratitude and humor and the indestructible spirit of a family who pulled together with faith. ❤️
I’m sorry your family went through that hurricane ordeal. I live south of Houston Tx and I sat on the floor crying 😢 I really was crying that people were leaving their animals behind. I’ve been through a lot of hurricanes and we never left any of our animals behind. It was hectic and the animals were terrified traveling in the car. It took us 24 hours to go from Houston to San Antonio which would be a 3 hour drive on the normal.
We evacuated from Houston area during Rita. After hours on I -45 not moving we got off the beaten path and saw parts of Texas we would have never seen. We were able to keep driving and made it to our destinación after 17 hours. My husband was the super chauffer.
All the birds 🐦 in the background sound so pretty chirping.
Thank you for sharing. Quite a story..wow.... 🙏
Praise God 🙏 for all your blessings 💓and your faith 🙏
Super husband Gigi..
God blessed you....
What a beautiful family you have 💜
When you said it Katrina was 500 miles wide, that put it into context for me. That is mother nature’s power.
NOLA is like my second home, my brother has lived there since the 70's and still does. He and his wife left the day before too and drove to Iowa to stay with me. After two weeks, they drove to Houston and stayed with a friend to be closer to NOLA, My brother did the same thing, George, and drove to their home but he amazingly got permission to enter from a sympathetic soldier. Their home had minimal damage located over by the fairgrounds. They were both social workers and stayed very busy helping the ppl of New Orleans, I went back many times after katrina too, I wept for what once was, especially the 9th ward!!
Oh wow, what an experience. Glad you all safe🙏
I love your family and may the dear Lord protect you all wherever you are 👏👏❤️❤️🌈
Now I can understand why you all are a tight family. So beautiful.
Wow guys, this story sounded like a movie, praise God your eyes are on him. Xx🙏
I remember Katrina I was glued to the television 📺
Love you all xxx
Thank God your mom met back up with George. IMO he saved your family. Well he was a huge reason y'all got out of the poorhouse and were able to improve your lives. Thank God for George and your mom being smart enough to find him again.
Wow nice to know this was like 20 years ago I remember I was still in high school and living in New Jersey hearing about what happen I could only imagine what your family went through and also did home insurance paid out for the home damages cause I had family that live there and was denied for nearly 3 years before there start paying out so like your father said it was like post apocalyptic once the aftermath was done
What an experienze in life
WOW😮😮
Strong family😊❤
I love yall so very much!
I love your family. You guys are so blessed. I wish i could hear also from your other siblings.
Please keep posting. I always look forward to watch your wonderful vlogs.
George is very humble good man 💞💞💞 so blessed family 🙏
I’m watching video’s here on this channel too as of yesterday. Lilly you and your family could write a book & sell the movie rights. Lots of stories. I know most people have them but your family has come a long way to better times. I’ve sometimes been stuck wondering when things will get better & that stems back from generations. I’m a believer & I believe your channels are meant to be successful because of the encouragement and help they offer. I watch late at night and your video’s calm my over-thinking mind. I have surgery next Tuesday which I’m nervous about & watching your life stories (incl Gigi, George, Chloe.. everyone) and hearing their/your faith & reliance on Jesus’ grace and goodness helps me as a Christian. Do not be anxious about anything, Thank you.
This is a total riot!! I am laughing terribly! The suburban! LOL. I am from N.O. as well. Was not there for Katrina!
What a lovely family!
Glad y’all made it out safe. I lived in Metairie as a child and went through hurricane Betsy.
Your family had a tough time during Katina. But they listened to the weather warning and act accordingly ahead of others. A great judgment they made. Love this blog to watch. Thank you for sharing with us .❤
Love all your videos. ❤❤
Good that George is so well organised.
Your father is a sweetheart you are so bless too have him yall are not stepchildren too him he feels like yall are his and that is a blessing too him you r mom is a beautiful soul and so is your sister many blessing and prayers and hugs I loved this story ❤❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏😘😘😘😘
Lovely, and love to hear and see you all the time...Best, happy Thanksgiving Day!
Wow, such amazing stories! I remember watching Katrina on the news from the other side of the world but it's a whole new level hearing it from you guys! Thank you for sharing. As I listen to George, I was imagining your family going through all the scenes. Just wow
Thanks for sharing. Love this family ❤
Oh, I love you guys so much! Interesting. Thanks for sharing!
Very Interesting, Thanks For Sharing
Until one actually experiences a hurricane first hand, you just can’t imagine how frightening and loud they are. I used to hear people say that a Hurricane sounds like a freight train well, I never believed them until we went through Andrew back in 92. Trust me, they sound exactly like a freight train going through your house also, all of the water in your toilet bowl gets sucked out through the vent pipe. You can drop things near your toilet and they too will get sucked into the bowl and out through your roof vent pipe. Two of my good friends just lost everything during Hurricane Ian this past September. The water surge reached about 2 feet above their homes. Hurricanes are not fun. 😢
God is good all the time and all the time God is Good. I really enjoyed your family.
Thank you for retelling this x
Amen Mr. George & Mrs. Susan, the Good Lord does provide!
Oooo love Gigis blouse.
Here we had a very tough time during this Hurricane “Katrina” my basement was flooded. We lived 10 days without power. Horrible time. Hope this kind of massive hurricane will never come back again.
I'm so sorry your family was affected.
What a story and it's good job you have one another s that what keeps you strong. Cloe does look a lot like George as she has his mannerisms.
On that Saturday I had just moved my college freshman daughter into Tulane when they told us to take our kids home. We left all her things in the dorm and checked out of our hotel. I called Lake Charles and got the last room at a decent motel. All of the casinos were booked. The next day we were headed home to San Antonio. When we got to Houston they had shut down the expressway for routine maintenance repair. You can’t imagine the traffic. My daughter went to one of her back up schools for that fall semester. She returned to Tulane for the spring semester. Every thing was just as we left it in her dorm. Tulane did suffer damage.
Lovely family 🇧🇼❤️
Wow interesting story from that crazy time. George led his family to safety thank God. But the whole backstory of starting in Miami surviving the accident to surviving a hurricane. Smh. To now a better life of travel. What stories to share.
Lilly, thank God your family was able to evacuate safely and had the means to travel and purchase a new home and car; many others have not been so fortunate. The devastation caused by Katrina (2005 Cat 5 hurricane) and the levee breaking was unbelievable. A lot of what George and Susan related is very familiar to those of us living in hurricane-stricken areas.
We've been blessed to survive many hurricane events in S. Florida. Andrew hit SE Florida in 1992 (also a Category 5 hurricane). Unlike Katrina which was a water event, Andrew was largely a wind event that left large areas of southern Miami-Dade looking like it had been hit with bombs. Trees were snapped in two or uprooted and roofs blown off houses everywhere [We were living on Miami Bch at the time, a mandatory evacuation area. So, we escaped to Orlando to wait out the storm.]
Irma struck in 2017, another Cat 5 hurricane. It was HUGE and covered the entire state of Florida. We evacuated in advance of the storm, heading north to SW Georgia, with traffic along major highways at a crawl (a normally 5-hr. car trip from Miami to Ocala took 12 hrs.!) Gas and available hotel rooms became scarce or non-existent across the entire Southeast U.S. as people everywhere evacuated in anticipation of the storm's path northward.
The next Cat 5 to strike S. Florida, was the recent Hurricane Ian. So thankful that Ian did not hit our area in Miami-Dade. I like to believe that I "prayed it away". 🙏😊However, the people of SW Florida were not so fortunate and suffered catastrophic damage. Prayers go out to them as they struggle to rebuild. 🙏❤
Yes we were very blessed. So many people had way worse problems than us.
I was in katrina also
Your Katrina story was fascinating and tragic at the same time. Like how you stay positive no matter what. The wreck in Miami then moving to New Orleans. Guardian Angels everywhere. We evacuated to our hometown in East Texas for 6 weeks. Your stories I could relate to of sharks and alligators, stinky food and the heat. Cleaning the refrigerator. Thought I would be sick. Waiting for stores and restaurants to open. We were very blessed in River Ridge. Friends across town in Chalmette were on their rooftops for days. Prayers for all of the people there that lost their lives when the storm surge caught them by surprise. Lived back and forth between Natchez and New Orleans for years after. 3 hour ride is shorter than evacuating to East Texas for every hurricane or levee scare if water is high. Retired here now. Yay George for saving the cat & Gigi with the Suburban. I understand Chloe about broken bones and can’t walk. Takes lots of healing & therapy to walk good again. Me and crutches were not compatible lol. It was a wonder I didn’t break something else. Great for reaching light switches, etc.!
Got to understand that Jehovah God been with this family to recover from so much , Here in Barbados they say God help thoes who help themself,so true we just cannot sit and waite for God help, Its so good you all still together .
To meet what makes your blog so instrusting is the love you put out they and being honest.
Lily. I love you. You’ve given me hope in Jesus. Thanks.
This was quite interesting!
I like your family blog
Wow - I can feel my adrenalin levels raised after watching that 👀 my goodness !
Wow!
