Prayers for the people in Puerto Rico.
The people who pray are the ones who think god has arranged matters all wrong, but who think they can instruct him on how to make them right.
I'm sure it'll work! ...
Its not Puerto Rico.
If only 50 more people prayed we can pray the hurricane away 🙃🙏🙏
@@kyleg9735 we have you and me. find 48 moar and we're done 🤦🏽♂️
Prayers for Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 🙏 ❤️
So where is your jew harp technology? lost on hurricane?
@@yzyz7779 shut up
💀💀💀💀
Prayers for my brothers and sisters in Puerto Rico.🥰🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Surprised Mike didn't demonstrate how strong the winds were. If he did, he probably would look around to make sure someone wasn't walking casually near him.
GOD BLESS ALL PUERTORICANS.
God bless my people and my motherland !!! te amor Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 😢
I love Puerto Rico bless these people I pray for you !
I am Puerto Rican myself I hurts to see my land get hit again. My mothers family is Puerto Rican my fathers is Vietnamese and Austrian.
Prayers to families and animals ❤
"This is an island surrounded by water. Big water. Ocean water."
Poignant 🤣
Well, he did send help. It was the Puerto Rican leadership who hid supplies.
It's a yuge, tremendous water.
Legend says Biden couldn't find Puerto Rico in a map & though it was Hawaii.
@@royaldomain4055 Factuality says Trump thought that Finland was still a part of Russia
Dude I am Puerto Rican and I was there when hurracine Maria came it's was horrible, my house flooded as well and a tree landed on my yard almost hitting my house, but this hurricane is a little bit worse
Prayers for these people 🙏🏼
They need our prayers, you have a good heart. The World need more of you. Thanks
God bless Puerto Rico!!
this thing doesn't exist
My Bahamian friend told me that years ago when the big hurricane struck it destroyed their house, blew the roof off. His mother was missing. Days later the fishermen found her miles off shore clinging in the upturned roof.
Now, when a big storm comes, she becomes very quiet...and climbs up into the rafters.
( south Florida )
Prayers for Ponce🙏🏾
At this time that I’m writing this is 3am Monday and in some areas the water has caused worse damaged than Maria and not only without electricity but running water as well , plenty outside to be picked up in buckets
We have to pray for Puerto Rico
We need to treat PR as Americans. We should rebuild the electric grid, WE owe them.
Its not Puerto Rico.
Thank you.
Yeah like from that bankruptcy ex prez left them stuck with
Why?
God bless puerto Rico from hurricane, and the people suffering
How much can Puerto Rican take. I am saddened by the fact governments are so unprepared even though we have had repeated warning by scientists that we are going to experience many more climate emergencies. The poor who cannot leave will suffer the most. I hope there is better help this time around.
Its not Puerto Rico.
@@unforgivenpuppet 🎉Puerto Rico head mad you help me be you under
@@unforgivenpuppet Dude they said at the beginning it was Puerto Rico, also Ponce is one of the town’s Of Puerto Rico.
This isn't a climate emergency... It has been going on since the beginning of time.
Nevermind the fact that hurricanes have been around for.... forever? It's even sadder knowing that this will happen again and again and no improvements will be made to the infrastructure. That's not to say anything about the structural integrity of any of the housing which will DEFINITELY not be helped or improved by any government entity.
This is just sad. Ones again my island gets slammed. Lots of prayers to my Puerto Rican people. 🙏🏼
Move.
Are you single? 😁
Once*
@@Ballen1182
No lol
At least this Puerto Ricans won’t be ignored by the president. Boricua!!! Prayers for my people.
My Island 🏝️ !! God Bless 🇵🇷
God Bless everyone ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏
OMG! Ponce is my family home 😮
Prayers for All Puerto Ricans. This too shall pass away.
Prayers from Mumbai , 🇮🇳 INDIA.

Thank you.🙏
Praying for everyone.
oh sure it will help
Praying for everyone
May God bring the people of Puerto Rico together
through this horrible tragedy.
I pray for Costa Ruca 💙💙💙❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🤮👍💖
This is heartbreaking. Prayers for Puerto Rico!
What's heartbreaking is nobody moves off an island that continues to get destroyed by hurricanes.
GOD SAVE Puerto Rico 🙏
Stay Safe Everyone In Puerto Rico We Here Puerto Rican’s Are Praying For All
I’m so sorry they had a hurricane, but glad if they had to have a hurricane, it was only a 1. Hope the damage wasn’t to bad and there was no lose of life.
All my Prayers sent!!
Prayers 🙏🏻❤️🩹🧎🏻♀️
It should say annual catastrophic flooding.
God Bless, Puerto Rico and all it's people there. I pray that the hurricane misses it all together, no injuries or damages anywhere. In the name of Jesus I pray.
Uhhh, the hurricane already hit the island, there were damages, and there was at least 1 death...... Did you even watch the video or do just want to virtue signal on internet ?
@@gconol 🤣👍
Pay attention, Mary! PR took a direct hit for crying out loud.
Amen...
Its not Puerto Rico.
... Today, Sept. 20th marks exactly 5 years Since Hurricane Maria struck Puerto Rico.
..... In Sept. 2017, They were first hit by Hurricane Irma, ... Many are unaware, that although the island suffered damage, they gathered themselves enough to bring in people from other islands that were more devastated, ... including NON U.S. islands.
These guests were housed at the Convention Center in San Juan .... Cruise Ships ferried them in ........ And they were provided shelter and food.
The people of Puerto Rico mobilized what little they had to help others even when they were hurt.
A week later, Hurricane Maria Hit, and thousands lost their lives AFTER THE STORM HAD PASSED.
TODAY, the American Citizens of Puerto Rico are again being tested ... HELP THEM.
Hopefully they leadership doesn’t put the supplies sent in to a storage unit again starving people and what not
CBS News needs to talk about Ecosia they are a search engine that plants trees
The entire island IS NOT w/o power. I’m in San Juan right now and it’s been good. The southern part of the island is where the floods and power outages. Stop lying!!!
I hope and pray they all have umbrellas☔🌂
My biological father is there and doesn't know I exist. MANUEL RIOS I am praying for you and hope some day we'll find each other! Please find a safe place to be!!
Lots and lots and lots of rain.
No one helps puerto rico. It's sad
Its not Puerto Rico.
We help ourselves this is not new
Hmm almost like wether gets worse every year .
they created weather manipulating technology back in Vietnam war days. must be perfected by 2022
Stay safe.

aww beautifully natural heavy rain storm weather in the fall season...
need more rainy rainy in here los angeles area to the mountain
Noo not again :(
They don’t need prayers. They need to improve their infrastructure. They’ve been having hurricanes since the beginning of time and they still refuse to properly prepare.
While I agree with some of your statement your ignorance shows. The electrical system does need a massive improvement yes, but you cannot go against nature and the disaster a Hurricane can bring. You can’t control its winds or its heavy flooding.
We give hurricanes names just to keep record of it right?
I’m sure it’s really going to make a difference
Fast moving mass of water in places are equivalent to *Lahar*
this is very very good and beautiful
Just rebuild the power grid the same exact way again... that should work🤦♂️
Haha yeah. If only they had done a good job we wouldn’t be like this again.
Yeah, Trump really made a dumpster fire out of that one. I guess he didn't consider the Puerto Ricans not MAGA enough to be worth the effort.
Love you sit down little boy white . Big mouth shut up 🤫 😊
@@russs7574 I said the same thing, but the powers that be in Puerto Rico itself dropped the ball before trump even entered the chat.
@@russs7574 realistically trump stopped giving a lot of money to other countries... as far as "MAGA" goes Puerto Rico doesn't have US voting rights so that argument stands no ground. Regardless if we are going to send $ I'd rather it go to Puerto Rico than any other country.
Things were rebuilt , but not re-engineered, so they suffer the same fate ! The task of cleanup , and rebuilding of the power, and telephone grid is massive under the best conditions. The fact that Puerto Rico is an island , and the terrain is challenging makes the task that much harder !
Largest blackout in US History
It was like 6mo for my area. We were fine God was with us
I wanna go to Puerto Rico!!!!!!!!!!
Its not Puerto Rico.
@@unforgivenpuppet Why do you keep saying this under every other comment? If it's not Puerto Rico then where is it???
@@unforgivenpuppet I’m curious as well. Explain pls
Yes🎉
then move!!!!
One the first person that reffers to P.R. as It should and Archipielago. My prayers.. to everyone.
It’s raining still.
Did we recover from Maria?
We never did
Here we go again
Yes God has pulled the restrainer of the winds and the rains
It's not a generator it's repentance
I am in the North of P.R. Bayamon, it has not been as severe as Ponce. The Rain is nonstop. We not only don't have Electricity, the Water Co. uses the Electric Co. Grid, so in the home...Zero Water. Plenty outside thou!
My Pets are Depressed! Sleeping all day.
Headed to DR? BBLs have been cancelled until further notice!
And More is coming. Stay safe pr
Gb🌟🔥👁️💖👁️🔥🌟
Southwestern United States be like : we should build a pipeline.
Hmm... Rumor has it it's hurricane season.
Omg😯
🙏
Going electric doesn’t look to promising now huh
hopefully the corrupt politicians are okay! finger crossed!
Fiona fue agua
Maria fue aire
Tuvo fuerte 🥶
The whole island will be underwater in a week.
The island in mountainous. The middle has very high mountains. It’s the rivers that run from the mountains that overflow into the low lying areas. Highest point is in Ponce at 4,390 ft above sea level. It will never flood that much.
🙏🙏🙏
Power generator.
Puerto Rico be ight. They get hurricanes every year b.
Its not Puerto Rico.
I get it but we got people in the actual states without clean water to drink, and we are sitting here worried about Puerto Rico?
Puerto Rico is a US territory. All of them are also US citizens.
@@TheEndingAbyss worry about the states first. The ones on the flag
@@TheEndingAbyss those same people voted AGAINST joining the U.S
@@ConfesstoChrist I worry about my fellow US citizens overseas or in the states.
Puerto Rico voted in favor of becoming a state.
@@TheEndingAbyss It was still a close vote and whoever opposed stopped the process of them becoming a state. I get worrying about them but we better not lend them a cent until the people that have already been suffering HERE are satisfied. Same with the Ukraine nonsense
They're saying they're prepared but buying the supplies right now
And?
These places need mass funding in order to be completely safe from hurricanes, it is very possible to do.. and as this is only going to get worse, these places will become unhibatibal sooner than later without the proper infrastructure. Unfortunately we are talking about 70-100 billion dollars to do the job right.
Buddy lol
, your absolutely completely utterly wrong
@@jojovids9745 buddy. No I’m not.
Yes thank God 🙏❤️✨😊
People are to blame for environment change. We took advantage of Earth and we will face what we deserve... Me and you all.
Someone give Matt Walsh a heads up

Get that GoFundMe started for

Oh Lord please we have enough… I cannot command you dear Lord but have your mercy for poor!!!!❤❤❤❤
Tf you talkin anout
"Very well," the Lord said. "I will let you bake your bread over cow dung instead of human excrement." -Ezekiel 4:15. Praise the Lord!
Prayers 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 going out to all of you to be bless 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 in Jesus HOLy mighty powerful awesome name we pray amen
Catastrophic around the world.. he's coming
🥺🥺
At least they won't have to deal with that jack@$$ this time around who only showed up for a couple of hours so he could throw a few rolls of paper towels into the crowd and get a "feel good" photo op.
Thank God. That was so wrong and weird
It is a cat 1....stop trying to hype it up.
Guess you’ve never lived through a hurricane or tropical storm. It’s easy to say that when you live on the mainland. We in Hawaii catch cracks every time we get a bad storm. Cat 1 is still dangerous. Ask people who live in Florida or on the gulf coast.
It's because Puerto Rico hasn't been the same since Hurricane Maria since 2017, and the earthquakes we've had in 2019. The island has gone downhill since then. Meaning, a hurricane type 1 feels the same as a type 5
@@NamelessVoice808 Sandy, Irene, Bob, Gloria and Blizzard Nemo was a winter hurricane with snow; I live on an island too. I helped oversee the cleanup of three major storms, and have attended classes on storm/emergency response hosted by FEMA/NYS and Dept. of Homeland Security. In one the NOAA people said the worst thing they every did was use the term "super storm" for Sandy as the media turned the hype up to 11. So yeah...I have seen a couple storms.
@@squeezytuna Well that is unfortunate but that is a failure of leadership on the island to chart a course to recovery.
@@michaelbouker845 We are talking about tropical islands with limited resources and away from the US mainland. You can drive trucks close to the places you speak of after disasters. As island people we know very well, we don’t have the same recourses or help getting the clean up and rescues. To even get supplies into the island you need the airport runways cleared docks are usually not up and ready for awhile. So I’m sorry, but you’ll never truly understand what tropical island folks go through. We are different that when the US mainland gets a “winter storm”. You guys can always drive far from where the disaster zone and we must ride out the storm in place and hope we get help fast enough from our government.
This is devastating. I hope the US is planning to do the right thing this time. If you need liaisons, hit me up. Come on Biden.
You mean as opposed to the way T---- f_cked things up? Let's face it f---ing things up is what T---- does best.
Then tell this current pos president to stop sending our money to Ukraine
He will. Biden is a good President and cares.
Have we crossed the point of no return in terms of damaging the planet? There is no such point. We need to trust that our thought, which is our greatest quality, can change nature. We only need to understand the direction to which we should aim our thoughts. What should we think about? What condition or state should we aspire to and ask for?
In order to save our planet, we should think about positive human connections. That is, how can we, in our connections, keep nature safe? How can we all together protect our world? If we truly wish to better our planet, then we should see people holding a concern for how to positively connect everywhere that we look.
It has nothing to do with recycling or other activities that we commonly associate with as being sustainable. If we come closer to and consider each other, that we will reach an entirely organic, perfectly connected and round state, then the negative forces will disappear from the world.
We need to understand that if we start thinking better about each other, then the planet will recover from all harm, because our thoughts are the strongest force in nature. Likewise, our negative thoughts about each other are entirely to blame for damaging the planet. That is why the more we recycle and invest in energies and activities that we commonly think of as being sustainable, the worse our planet becomes. Nothing will work to benefit us until we reach a state where our attitude changes toward each other for the better to protect and improve our planet.
I like this………
every year still not ready
All carribean Islands are in a hurricane path so it can happen over and over no matter how prepared you are
ooh GUADELOUPE🌸🌸🌿🍃🌿🌸🌿🌸 🦋🦋RIP Mesi'✝️😧🙄👀❣️🙏
Can’t catch a break
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
So what are all you "Puerto Ricans" doing for your home country besides saying prayers?
My favorite RUclipsr moved there last year hope he's doing good
Praying for all of you in Jesus name
Kind of ironic considering American Jesus doesn't like brown people...
