    Watching from Australia and can't believe how bad it is, wish everyone the best to get back on your feet. Thanks for capturing this, love to see more on the rebuilding and clean up too, just can't imagine how some of those boats will get recovered.

    Thank you for this video.
    A lot of us had nowhere to run. We had to hunker down where we were, not realizing how close we were to potential annihilation.
    This is the fourth week since ... I'm glad I'm only seeing it now.
    God be with all affected, especially those who mourn. God be with all the kind people who showed up with water, food, and generators to charge our phones so we could let our families know we were ok.

    Thanks for putting this video together so the world can see the Heartbreak this storm caused. Many lost their homes, businesses, jobs, and way of life. I know that many of the retirement mobile home villages will probably not be permitted to rebuild due to new building laws, many of these were awesome close knit communities that are simply gone.

    It’s absolutely crazy to think I was down there for the Fourth of July this year, driving right through Fort Myers right by Doc Ford’s and Dixie Fish. I also ate at Snug Harbor a few times. Seems like a total loss. Sad.
    I don’t mean to make it about me, but it’s just that we are cognitive dissonance like I think it’s totally fine still but the reality is it isn’t I can’t really comprehend it.

  • @MrJdsenior
    @MrJdsenior Год назад +1

    From Orlando, pretty impressive. Do you guys all have your power back yet, or most of you? Our damage even in Charlie, power line wise, didn't look nearly that bad and we were out at the house for three weeks.
    AND taking a large tree off of the roof, so power for AC would have been nice. Bought window units for the living room and bedroom so we can run them on a small generator now. Still a PIA, but massively better. This storm did very little in Orlando area, a few places of local flooding. Some lakes and rivers REALLY high, like Jessup/Monroe/St Johns, but very little wind damage.
    Power was out three days this time, but with AC available it wasn't nearly as bad. Most everything else is secondary, IMO, from a power standpoint.

    Nobody expects boats and mobile homes to be anything but heaps of trash after storm hurricanes. But for the money spent for decades of enjoyment the risk of total loss is nothing if you think about it. Thing about hurricanes in these modern times are we know they are coming. Hopefully people heed warnings and get out of harms way. It is those places with earthquakes and massive tornadoes the nation needs to question letting people live!

      "You know to share and someone else's tragedy is actually a clinical medical disease"
      Really, what's it called? Haven't seen that in the DSM. Telling everyone what they should and shouldn't do is a bit of a problem, though. Especially when it concerns you not one tiny bit.
      You might want to look into a writing course, because there's this thing called punctuation that makes your writing more readable. People tend to carry more weight when they don't appear to have flunked out of second grade.
