Cow tipping redefined!
Those are Free Range
They were probably let out when the owner evacuated so they wouldn't drown if the field they were in flooded. Very smart and humane of the owner.
You would hope so....l think they probably escaped from a field though......no electricity for the fences...
The cows all survived. Haha
🙏 Que Deus abençoe a todos!! 🙏
It doesn't seem to matter how many of these videos I watch or how many times I watch them, I'm always amazed and fascinating by what the wind is capable of.
Me too
I love watching wind and rain.
@@candi1904 it always has plus I try to be out in the worst parts of extreme weather.. well at least what little we get on the east coast
I think it has something to do with our human-animalistic instincts and the constant yearning for nature.
@@siriohh4383 absolutely, its gotta play a part.
Also, it's hilarious!
Their power is gonna be out for a while. The cows eating that good grass and sticking together. Thanks for sharing and be safe.
judging by the cell phone tower... phone service will be out a while also.
Yes, the babies were protected in the middle of the herd.
They stopped for grass before going to the moovies.
Cows know what to do......get together with others to survive and help each other out......besides they are free and feeling what that's like......
@@rudder727 2 months for us last yr after hurricane laura... and delta. Hopefully they avoid a second storm to cause delay further
The property devastation is only just the beginning of no homes, jobs or loss of life. Wishing everyone who has and will be affected the strength they need to persevere 🙏.
Exactly. Mother Nature is no joke and when it devastates folks pull together. But with this Pandemic, this is going to be worse. All Prayers to LA
Plz look were this place is on the map and you will see that there is no wind or sea protection at all. Sorry to see their loses.
Stay safe men. Thank you for capturing the footage and sharing.
Trying to get out of the deep water somewhat dryer hope their owner finds all of them poor cows and a lot of damage hope everyone is safe GOD BLESS
🙏🙏🙏
I love Louisiana and the people there. Praying for you all.
Merciful God in heaven, please help all of these people who have lost their property and homes to get their lives back. Please keep them safe in all of their journeys and endeavors to return to lives once again. Amen.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Amen
I'll take a prayer to send these storms elsewhere for a while. Do you realize, after all these prayers, almost every meaningful location in south Louisiana has been destroyed at least once in the last 16 years by hurricanes! Faith has to, at least occasionally, be confirmed. It's not working.
@@xxfitzfitzxx I would love it if God was like a gum ball machine. Put the nickel in and get a gum ball. If prayer and response worked like that, everyone on earth would pray 24 hours a day. I’m sorry to say it does not.
@@The333Wanderer You do realize that, while the sentiment is appreciated, all these people putting comments with "prayers" are hiding valuable information such as where gas is available, energy updates, road updates, etc. Some of us have to survive in dangerous heat right now and no power, and have been hit over and over again. No, I don't need prayers, we need food and shelter.
Poor cows, poor people. Ducks seemed to be having a good time of it. So sorry for all affected, and person filming, thanks for showing real footage, but I worry about wires and trees, you could be more careful.
Wow! This brings back so many memories of Hurricane Katrina. I had to sleep in the hallway because the winds were so strong. That was a scary storm. I hope people listen to the officials out there and got out. Stay safe.
Way too many people stayed.
At 1:06 Nice Yellow Corvette For Sale No Accidents Or Flood Damage
Homie left that Corvette just knowing insurance was gonna take care of those payments... But, she's still mint 😂
Exactly what I was thinking, it looked like it was parked there after the storm lol just as clean as possible.
Looked like it was worth way more than house ..odd for a vette owner to leave it ..
Yeah he will be pissed when he sees that
That’s what he gets for buying a yellow corvette.
@@redfishrambo5761 I hope he had flood insurance. Insurance normally don't pay car insurance claims if there was a chance of water damage. You have to have a special rider.
when we had the ice storm back in 1998 all the telephone poles in the city were completely broken in half.. my prayers for the people being in this terrible situation
I survived the Eastern side of the eye of Michael... and this breaks my heart into shatters... I hope and pray that everyone either took the warnings to heart, or managed to stay safe.
I wouldn't wish it on anyone.
Corvette still looked OK
And the John Deere equipment...sturdy!
So did the ice machine at what's left of the gas station.
0:56 Amazing that the mailbox stood intact while other heavier objects were brought down.
Tornadoes can do that...
@@larrysouthern5098 Okay Larry....
Probably cemented into the ground
They wanted to make sure bidens next stimulus check gets there,again....
it's because it doesn't catch much wind, it's relatively aerodynamic.
Poor animals without any protection.
I know, I never understood that. IF I had farm animals I'd have to have somewhere so that they'd have protection from these storms and wintery weather.
Ahh
The wild ones generally do better. Birds, marine life, and domestic have a very tough time. The dark side of nature. Hope for the best.
@@easternzone7869 wild animals usually leave
Livestock such as horses and cattle actually have a better chance being outside than indoors! Each of those animals are marked with ID tags and possibly RFID tags for locating and ownership purposes.
Sending my thoughts and prayers to everyone in Louisiana
Thanks!
Looks like the aftermath of hurricane Michael in Panama City when I returned home after evacuating. I didn't even recognize my street, drove right by it.
Susan M and Nicole I am so sorry. That breaks my heart.
Concrete dome homes do not suffer this level of damage. Can't figure out why people keep building back the same old way.
You're right, they are echoey, but I love them
$$$
Sure they do...
I would love to know who builds them in Florida
Cheap gov't funding for the poor.
Got to rethink power poles and lines above ground in a hurricane zone. Same for billboards and tin roofs.
Was thinking the same.
Nah... around here we call that JOB SECURITY! 🤣
Also metal buildings. Should be against building code. And poor quality metal roofs. Built properly, nothing should implode or fly away. Poured concrete is the way to go and quality metal roof.
@@laurie7689 the same thing would happen to the power lines that happened to the dead bodies before we started burying above ground, they would float to the surface.
@@laurie7689 As long as the lines were in-cased in some sort of waterproofing I think they would fine. But that's a good question.
Wow, I’ve been watching the U.S. news from up in Canada since 5 a.m. and saw nothing like what you have captured on video! All this devastation is so heartbreaking. You’ve done an amazing job and I pray for everyone to stay safe and to get all the help you’ll need to start again!
Fascinating video, damage looks significant.....hope everybody is safe!!
Major damage. Y’all need to petition lawmakers to get some hurricane building codes like Miami-Dade did after Andrew in 1992. By the year 2000, statewide in FL, all buildings had to be up to date with code to meet the Miami-Dade standards.
That makes too much sense. It will cost money-to be looked at as an investment in the future.
There are building codes there. Why wouldn’t there be… as well as every manufactured home has to have a hurricane rating. These storms are extremely powerful and no matter what you have, damage is inevitable. Yes, you can build something that could withstand Cat 5, but it would cost a fortune, and like it’s been said, a lot of these people are elderly with little income, and sone are living check to check. We will get pass this, but it’s gonna be a long road ahead. I was a lineman for Katrina, and when I went down to plaqumines parish and the 9th ward, I didn’t think there was anyway that could ever be habitable again. We all thought it would be completely abandoned after that, but the spirit of Louisiana’s people didn’t let that stop us, and with gods help, we will prevail again!
It's so sad because so many cities are being effected by this storm. Going to be massive damage through out the state, not just coastal.
it's horrible and so sad. Such a horrible hit. South and south west Alabama has a lot of flooding. We are still under watches and warnings in south central al. through Tuesday.
My heart goes out to those in LA and Ms. I hope everyone stays safe.
3:32 did the walmart employees honestly use the cardboard compactor bails and pallets to protect their front door glass. Ill give that manger credit for thinking outside the box.
Most likely to protect from looters.
To those suffering from the effects of Ida, I'm praying for you. ♥️
I've been watching your videos for a few hours with my jaw hanging. However your insane bravery has undoubtedly led to us seeing the damage in a different light. At least now we can see where we need to send our helps......Stay safe guys. New York
Building standards in hurricane zones seriously need to be looked at, not just the USA as this seems to be a world wide issue with many structures just not up to the job.
Once you learn how strong a Cat 5 hurricane is, then you will know why.
How about - bury the wires, Something that should be done nationwide!
Hurricanes and flooding in the eastern US, fireproofing in the western US. Things are changing. The fires in the west are no longer an anomaly. They happen every year. Same goes for hurricanes and flooding in the east. I agree, the building codes have to change or our infrastructure will become more and more fragile every year.
@@1971marksan do you know why we don’t bury our dead n the ground in southern Louisiana? Because the bodies float up out of the ground. The same thing would happen to underground power lines. The water table is too high to do it there. In Houma, you can dig like 2ft down and hit water. There in Golden Meadow it’s worse.
@@MrWolfSnack I live in Australia, we get Cat 5 cyclones. Our older towns that get a once in a generation hit get smashed because they were built +60 years ago, our towns that get hit often have manageable damage because they are built to modern standards. The standards exist for wind resistance and they work. Flooding is a different story.
Wow. A lot of these roads are now not accessible due to those downed power lines. Thank you for braving this to bring us this footage! Stay safe out there!!
I don’t understand why places like that don’t have steel and concrete power line poles. Once a pole is down replace it with hurricane strength poles. Takes a little longer but much better long term
Because its much cheaper to replace this way. Underground lines and cement poles for long distance are exorbitantly expensive. Doesn't mean I agree, but that's the reality.
I have been crying for almost an hour, Im so emotional with everything that is happening... I truly pray for you guys..... 😢😢
Awww there there now...
@John Cocktoaston Probaly like where you live
@Knife Peterson Somehow he will find a way to blame it on Trump.
@Knife Peterson Moron Biden didn't do anything for the flood victims in Tennessee last week so I don't expect him to do much here.
I know. Ive been thinking about people who were live and well this morning and today or tomorrow have lost their life's 😥
"So... Can we expect you at work tomorrow?"
Holy
😂😂😂
Bosses be like
You can for the essential personnel. God Bless them.
Omg, that’s my old boss calling! 🤣
Wow, you guys are on the ball with this footage! Thanks for the uploads.
I truly hope the # of casualties is low...
I remember hearing about this couple who owned a nursing home in LA & when Katrina was fixing to hit, instead of evacuating their patients, they up and left them...they drowned...flooded...f*cking criminal...
A salute to all who took the time and energy to record and post the realities of a Class 4 hurricane. It's sobering, to say the least.
Your the first to post pics. Thank you so much!
So glad to see someone let their cows roam free, rather than pen them up in fields that might have flooded. Good thinking!
🙏🏾ing for my fellow Louisianaians. We got TKO'ed by Laura last year so I know what your going through. Get ready for the long road to recovery "Louisiana Strong"
🐊💪🏾 🇺🇲
What recovery? Lake charles is still a sea of blue a year later.
I'm from Houma but moved to Lake Charles (transfered there with company I worked for in Carlyss) and saw the destruction of Rita. Felt so horrible for my friends there last year. I've been back in Houma for a while and lost everything for Ida. It completely changes lives but we are "Louisiana Strong".
It appears that the storm struck at low tide, which was a huge blessing. As bad as it was, could have been much worse.
Luvkily it was neap and not spring tide
Thank you for the video. You are showing more then the news channels. Stay safe
Hard to see the animals wandering around with no where to go.
its better some farmers let them go, instead of leaving them in a field that can get flooded.
Mother Nature don’t play.. praying and hoping all of you are ok in the path of ida.. from Orlando Florida
how sorry I am for the people who have lost all their sacrifice, it hurts me to see the lost helpless animals and looking for their owners where they will be alive or dead 😭
Brings back rough memories of Hurricane Harvey. Especially seeing all the trailers blown over. The weirdest was seeing the big truck blown over. Same color and everything of the one I photographed in Aransas Pass.
2017? TX? Was that Harvey? That was horrible 😔. I talked to a friend stranded. They couldn't get help in their area.
I feel so bad for farm animals
I like how they're sticking together, though. They know it's a rough storm, and they're looking out for one another.
@@tracymiller1149 People can learn from those cows.
@@tracymiller1149 Cows follow each other.
The animals can take care of themselves, they're fine. It's the humans who struggle with living on the planet.
God helps them
They know what to do in a storm
I feel bad for the livestock.
At least they're alive.
All of the animals left with little to no protection . ,!!!
Why? They're fine. They understand more than we do
@@Misswiskers4 so you would rathe them be in a building and have it collapse on them? They’re fine.
I would like to ask you how long have you been chasing storms and do you think they are escalting and getting stronger
Galveston Hurricane of 1900 killed over 8000 people ...
No
No. They are hitting in places they didn't used to hit much though, like in the northeast. Hurricanes have always been freaks of nature, they just get more exposure and coverage now than they used to because of new technology.
Thank you for the great quality videos! I would much rather watch first hand experiences then news coverage! News coverage on storms is so annoying!
This would be terrifying, I always respectful of the elements, rain, wind, water, heat
You've guys kills it with the footage last night, Thx!
My prayers for the people. God give you strength to go forward.
As a native Floridian living in the Big Bend & Panhandle my heart hurts for your town & the people affected my Hurricane Ida. Y'all are in my prayers.
The storm and the damage isn’t the problem. It’s once the storm has moved on, sun comes out & the heat sets in, no electricity, no AC, no ice, no gas, and no cell service, for days! That’s going to suck!
Wow! Thanks for the raw video so that we can see how bad it really is!
GOD BLESS EVERYONE THERE YOUR IN MY PRAYERS
Kudos for your videos. Much better than what they’re showing on tv. Or shall I say what they’re not showing.
Cow on the highway: let’s go guys it’s our chance, let’s take over the city. Stupid sapiens are gone
Probably out of feed so are out eating grass.
KEVIN DUBE WHAT A STUPID COMMENT, THE ANIMALS ARE WITHOUT ANY PROTECTION AND SO SCARED THIS IS NOT TIME TO JOKE.
@@gikichi9462 I'm scared too, will you hold me?
I just cried a river for them, and all the animals, they must be so scared.
@@gikichi9462 😂 you kidding me I didn’t say anything wrong karen
Poor cows. They're smart to get out in the open away from blowing debris. Is also smart how they huddle together and take turns on the outside of the herd.
that yellow Vette stands out like the little girl in red in Schindlers List
Yeah I noticed that too...scary.
Best storm chasing channel on RUclips
🙏 Everyone be careful near that water. Those broken powerlines are just waiting for a victim.
No electricity
@@ithaindigo except for all the solar panels, batteries and inverters which could be live.
It is not safe to assume any powerline is off
Good Video Footage, Good Job on capturing all this in such dangerous conditions💪💯
Ducks and cows proving life will always find a way.
Thanks for the info. Watching from the Philippines where I have experienced a couple of small typhoons.
1:07
Corvette owner: "Great, I'll leave this car in here so the Hurricane destroys it and I get some insurance money..."
Hurricane Ida: "Well, well, well, that's a nice looking yellow car you have in there. I'll just move along and not even scratch it."
That wind and surge was terrifying on the surge cam earlier. Sheer awe before the power of the weather. Hope people are safe and well.
Oh no! Poor cattle so scared and confused trying to figure this out. Heartbreaking. 💔
Yes and no...they are being raised for slaughter anyway...
Dinner time and milking time and where are our hoomans?? and our barn? Gives new meaning to “ till the cows come home”.
Sure hope the cows don't get electrocuted.
There's no power lol
@@fallios That tower seemed to be crackling...like there was no time to cut the power. Not sure...but as the camera person went in a bit closer, there was a sound like electricity from live wires. Maybe an expert will correct me on this.
@@ceceliaclarke9147 that was the wind making that sound in the mic. I thought the same thing too at first.
@@Coonazz791 surely the mains would have been cut off in the entire region. thats the usual course in disaster management.
I guess so
I watched 'Twister' as a kid and I thought that this job looks fun! Rethinking the matter now! You must be a wild man or got balls of steel to be in a CAT 4 path!
I'm in Gulfport Mississippi for my first hurricane and my neighbors who are area lifers, yesterday, talked to me about what they thought of this hurricane and their past experiences. These people have no fear, nerves of steel. I spent all last night trying to fend of panic attacks!
@@patsmith36 lol lifer of the gulf coast myself, you get used to it 🤣
Naw a tornado is some Scary S! I lived in Kansas& Texas & Florida Twice now. I pick a hurricane Any day.
@@patsmith36 it's all right don't get blown away
@@shawnhampshirehick101 I rather be in a severe thunderstorm
Them Cows don't have a care in the world. Just eating grass like it's all good
They finally made it to the otherside of the fence. They're wasting no time finding out if the grass is greener and tastes better.
It is because they have not left nature, so called human beings have a lot of unnatural stuff going on.
@@mahkhardy8588 some farms if possible move them. Otherwise they stay where they are. Usuall being out in the open is better than in the farm buildings since they usually collapse
@What's Up? perfect lmao!
Yesssss 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾😎
If I'm ever in a bad storm and truly have nowhere to go I guess I might have to chill out in the ice storage in front of a store.
Or with the cows
@@youareon2something I guess I could get some ratchet straps and strap myself to one.
I’m going with the cows… mooooooo!
@@Sirbelmont lmao! What a visual.( hey Bubba… hold my beer)
@@trevorjarvis3050 my thoughts exactly lol
Thanks for sharing this high-quality video.
Watching the animals, although sad, is also kind of interesting. The cows were like what is this, a metallic friend. The ducks were just enjoying a bath. Animals are resilient.
Much better video coverage than CNN . CNN show's the same clips over and over for hours . Great Job folks !
Maybe we can learn a thing or two from the animals.. They stayed together in the midst of a storm. Imagine if adversity led to increased support and unity among people...
They tried to stay together. There were several young calves with the group that could have easily been picked up by wind this strong. Hard to say after seeing them how many were in the original group. They appear frightened and lost.
My Louisiana family went to Texas and heading home on Tuesday. Praying they have some to go home to seeing all the devastation. Lives can't be replaced but homes can be. Prayers for all!!!!
Just an idea: Call in the Chevy Corvette Engineering team to design gas stations
Wow 😮 u guys doing great job!!! Be careful! Subscribed
Obviously they can expect long power outages with all those lines and poles down.
I'm sure they will have it all working again in a few hours....
@@toms7947 There is a lot of damage to the power grid. May take several days or even weeks to get it all working.
Horrible. I´m from Europe and i just can´t imagine how powerful is storm like this. God bless all the people there.
This is NOT GRAND ISLE. The road leads to grand Isle, but still 20 miles away.
Agreed, I usually go to grand isle on vacation every couple yrs, that Walmart is like an hour away from there.
What do you call it then
That's what I was wondering. I doubt anybody could get out to Grand Isle right now. Thanks for the location correction.
@@tmurph247 galliano?
@@elisscaliving4776 it looks like it was in the Galliano area
Title says Grand Isle, but the description says it is Golden Meadow. Golden Meadow is several miles inland. Grand Isle would be happy to look this good.
I keep thinking about the black weather man on Family Guy….”It’s rainin sideways!”
Forrest Gump said the same thing
It's raining horizontally .
It's a shitty situation, but you made me laugh
I keep thinking about the pricks making idiotic comments
really fortunate no one was bunkering in "Smoothie King!"
He lost his smoothie crown

Excellent job guys!
I feel so helpless for all. I’ve never seen so much loss from a hurricane like this one. Those cows 😭😭😭
Go back and look at Katrina and Harvey.
@@jsterling6805 They don't have to back that far, just a year ago for Laura, the same 150 mph
@@randallmarsh1187 That is true. It is just when she said she had never seen so much loss from a hurricane that I automatically think of the horrors of Katrina and Harvey. It appears that Laura and Ida at least are moving rapidly. Harvey just hammered the same area for,days.
Is the person that made this video ok🥺😭🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️
Thank you for being courageous, but Omgggg! I’m praying for you! Waiting for an update!
The cows are straight up sigma grind setting through the hurricane.
They don't really have an option :/
[distant Polozhenie]
This isn't the first hurricane for many of those moos.
Are the trucks tipped and buildings in the road from the winds of the hurricane or did a tornado hit that location as well?
When the cows start blowing around you got problems!
Well, y'all be thankful you're here talking about it 👍 I'm sure there's many utility companies helping to restore power, with all the equipment & supplies needed.
Cows are chill. “Brisk today huh Elsie?”
Great footage! Thanks for posting, stay safe!
Wow! Everything is literally in black and white...very dark and gloomy. Like the hurricane took the color out of Grand Isle ...amazingly scary.
A lot of this is Golden Meadow and Galliano Louisiana. There is actually no Grand Isle footage here, Grand Isle and Fourchon all underwater at the moment.

@@prarieborn6458 thank you so much. we left early saturday morning. this is so devastating
@@Meagan90210 Nice to see your reoly, You are welcome I have lived in NW WA in a rural area, but near the Seattle and suburbs greater community. We built our house in 30 acres of second growth forest(from a devastating forest fire 100 yrs before), 45 yrs ago..lots of folks built here too.. We have been through hurricanes here, except they weren’t called that years ago: Pacific typhoons , but terrible high winds, We had 7 tall trees fall on our house in in 93, sliced through our roof, one big tree, squirrels and all landed neatly in our guest room closet., no squirrels or people injured. We had needed $30K for a new roof, so we prayed for it. My best friend prayed with us, then she said..”Well I guess the money will just have to fall out of the sky”. and 2 months later, it did!! Our insurance replaced the roof and repaired the interior damage, and repainted all rooms to match new paint. The winds were over 100mph and damaged all of western WA..My friends had complained they needed firewood to heat for the winter.. The Lord provided firewood for everyone, delivered to their yards and streets..for the taking, so much timber came down. We don’t get told to evacuate when a storm is coming..we all just hunker down and pray.Most of the trees that could threaten our house have all come down over the years. So many storms. I just wanted to encourage you a little as you return to rebuild. It is hard to see as its happening, but some good does come of it all..But there is no place like home snd family. Much love and many prayers 💐
@@prarieborn6458 i hate to hear that. hurricanes are so unpredictable and are no joke at all. thank you so much. the lord has done so much for us, have been non stop praying all day. considering rebuilding but our community will never be the same, it’ll take years to get back to some normalcy. this is insane
*Owner nowhere to be found*
Cow: “it looks like we’re on the moove”
I’d like to know what kinda vehicle you drive that it takes the beating and reliability in the storms??
