The ONLY PEOPLE AT RISK were those clearing snow. WHERE IS HER HUSBAND OR THE FATHER OF HER CHILD? A shovel in her closet and SHE could have shoveled her way out. NOT THAT SHE COULD GO ANYWHERE. *She couldn't call MALE FAMILY MEMBERS to bring shovels and take her someplace with power?* In the past I have had neighbor's wives shoveling my snow because I am disabled. After this storm I have had one neighbor blow out the end of the driveway and another plow the driveway. PERHAPS SHE NEEDS TO MOVE INTO A NEIGHBORHOOD WHERE NEIGHBORS CARE ABOUT EACH OTHER. OR IN AN APARTMENT BUILDING WHERE SHE ISN'T IN A BASEMENT OR HIGHER THAN THE 2ND FLOOR. Anyone believe after 8 years without symptoms her son was IN ANY DANGER? Now those trapped in cars, in boxes or under a bridge THEY were in danger. How many were sent to help all the homeless that were in danger? What will she do when thanks to Biden, Americans are sending their children and grandchildren to bed COLD & HUNGRY? WILL SHE CALL 911 or her local Democrat activist for food and power? How many of our European Allies are already having to choose between HEAT & FOOD? If only Biden hadn't shut down American and most of Canada's oil production. Cutting use of FERTILIZER might reduce greenhouse gases but what about the millions worldwide who RELY on imported food to eat?
@@mgheichert maybe her family lives in another state or even country! Anyway, if the recue team could get there, how do you think any one else could do?
@@cubanenglish The rescue team COULD get there but there wasn't a REAL EMERGENCY. She could shovel her way out or quit expecting men who owe her nothing to dig her out. MEN die shoveling snow. Let all her single mother friends dig her out and give her a place to stay. ISN"T there a back entrance from her apartment building?
This broke my heart. My son and I were fortunate during this blizzard. One thing I will say is this made me very mindful of looking out for my neighbors 😢🙏🏽❤️
The first night if I couldn’t get help, the new channel would have been called. That’s too many days to go without power. Something had to be done about it. Thank God they survived it. I can imagine she was pretty upset than being calm now. And she is relieved finally help arrived. Maybe it’s time to think about moving? Like now.
It's very fortunate that Shanita and her son made it through...I pray for both of you , AND ALL PEOPLE AFFECTED BY THIS STORM...LOVE FROM ILLINOIS 👏🙏😊👏🙏😊👏🙏😊👏🙏
Crazy how they lived for 5 days straight stuck at home. Crazy. They almost died. There was 3' of snow trapping them inside their home with a door that opens inwards.
At least she still had phone service. Down here in Texas, during our freak winter storm last year, I had no cell service whatsoever... No electricity, no water, no cell service... It was awful
Dallasite here. I had poor cell reception during the storm but luckily for me I never lost power and live within walking distance of a grocery store that opened for business. Glad you made it out ok. That first day was tough though, had been awhile since I rationed food but nonetheless, still blessed 🙌🏽
I’m so glad her and her son are safe and made it. I couldn’t imagine what her and her family were going through knowing they couldn’t help her either. Thank God they’re safe
My grandmother was stuck for 3 days I went to go see her when the storm stopped and a police officer wanted to give me a ticket 😢😢 the city gets a big fat F .I thought I lived in the city of good neighbors
Shame on the property management for not calling back & just saying, “Hey. We got you’re message; you & your son matter. We can’t get the truck through, but we are trying”. Just a friendly hello could make all the difference to people scared & in those conditions. They just ignored them & made them feel like their lives didn’t matter. They were probably calling lawyers & worrying more about lawsuits than whether those people actually lived or not.
This is buffalo lol the residents aren’t as concerned worried nor scared as ur message states .. don’t let a storm fool u ✔️ bad weather is common in the winter they just thought they can manage per normal we always get a lot of snow just not all n one day maybe over a few days
@@lavenderflowersfall280 You've never met me. I promise you, each and every one of my residents is cared for and treated like a friend. I manage over 100 apartments. A few months ago, one of my residents fell and was injured (not at home). He could barely move and take out his trash. I e-mailed all of the residents and within 5 minutes, the phones were ringing off the hook by other residents who wanted to help him. The two residents are now friends and she takes him to doctors appointments. I assure you, not all managers are the same. Many are, but some of us do care.
She seems like a nice person, but she apparently believes that the only reasonable step to take is to depend upon others. Hopefully she will be better prepared for the next storm.
Thank God they are alright! I too was stuck in tge blizzard! But my daughter all the way from NC, got a rescue fron 2 young Black men, Shaquille Jones and his side kick Rob, wo drove. They rescued me from a cold and and killing storm! I thank them very much! ❤😓
Did y'all miss the part where they said this is what it looks like after some had melted? Also, where would she put the snow if she did have a shovel when the snow was that high? Inside the apartment? What happened to empathy and common sense?
Hello from 🇨🇦! When you open your door and the snow is to the top, you start digging from the very top. It would have been rough to dig a path all the way to the sidewalk but not too difficult to just dig a little clearance in front of their door. Use a bucket if you don't have a shovel in the house. We keep 2 shovels in the house for when we get buried in snow. Put the snow in a garbage can and then dump it in the tub. Repeat. You only need to do this until you've made enough space for you to step outside and start throwing snow overhead. It's important for them to clear a little space in front of the door for ventilation. Also, God forbid, to get outside in case of fire. I hope she gets a shovel for next time.
SHE IS HEALTHY why wasn't she shoveling her way out OR SHOVELING SNOW FOR HER MALE NEIGHBORS? You want some men who don't know her to risk a heart attack to shovel her snow? WHERE WAS SHE SUPPOSED TO GO SINCE THE PARKING AND ROADS WERE STILL BLOCKED? I am disabled and in the past I had neighbors wives shoveling my snow but I lived in this town for most of my life. After this last storm I had 2 neighbors one blowing the windrow at the end of the driveway and another with a plow. NOBODY was digging their way through this storm for anything but a REAL emergency. Women are less likely to have a heart attack than a man so you should be shoveling snow for your male neighbors. YOU ARE EQUAL AREN'T YOU? She couldn't have called her male relatives to shovel her out and take her and her son somewhere safe since she wasn't prepared to shovel her way out? You think after 8 years with no symptoms her son was in any danger? If he was she would have a landline and lived near the hospital. THOSE IN CARS stuck away from a building they were in danger. Can't walk to safety, stay and freeze unless they have a WINTER EMERGENCY BOX. Boys USED to be taught about these, not those raised by single mothers. How many homeless with NO PHONE, NO WALLS, NO HEAT, NO SLEEPING BAG & NO FOOD during this storm? How many DIED while women who were SAFE called 911?
People buy power packs .They have lights with usb plugs. If you can ,the next step up is a generator that you charge and it needs no gas. seems you cannot depend on land lords or contractors!! watch videos on people camping in snow storms and you will learn that there are so many gadgets out there to help you survive!!
I saw my neighbours, weeks ago, take a shovel and free the way from their door to the street/parking spot. And they are older than she is. I used to have a shovel in my car too.
That’s why I never choose to live on the first floor. It’s snowed in Dallas for the past 2 winters and residents on the first floor are always snowed in
I get that if you rent you shouldn't be responsible for shoveling snow, but come on people. Everyone needs to do their part when there is a natural disaster. If she was really that worried about her son, she would have been out there shoveling it out herself little by little. Especially after 5 days... People expect way too much sometimes.
***I sincerely don't want to disrespect the family members of those who died in this horrific storm*** I don't live in an area that gets storms like this, but, I'm wondering how 60 people have died in Buffalo. Are they dying from car accidents? I'm sure some have died from hypothermia but were they in their houses, or out in the blizzard trying to get help, and were most elderly? I've heard about the gal that died of carbon monoxide poisoning from her exhaust pipe being covered in snow. I know they didn't have power or heat during the storm and probably still don't have power. I don't know the population of Buffalo NY, but 60 people seems like a lot to me and I don't understand how that can happen!
Imagine freezing to death in your car bc you are to scared to knock on a random person's house... city people are weird and helpless I'll just sit in my car in the middle of the street and die instead of looking for shelter...
Suspect those not perishing from preexisting illness (shoveling snow, heart attack, etc.) ignored/underestimated the cold, depth of snow, possibility of impassable roads, need to run the vehicle only 10 minutes per hour for heat, keep exhaust pipe clear, lower car windows for ventilation, emergency supplies for disasters, etc. Possibly no experience with bad weather? Dire lack of planning at a minimum. Experience is a harsh educator, if you survive. We offer condolences to those who survive.
I believe what you're all missing here is that the young lady who died in her car also had on Scrubs, as in hospital Scrubs because she was a nurse who just got off work. No matter the weather, some people have no choice but to be out there. Please don't forget this fact again. It is true that some of them shouldn't have been out there, but some of them had no choice.
The door opens inward and they were trapped? If being in the house for 5 days is an emergency, you'd think a person who could dig themselves out, would do so. I mean, if I really couldn't survive for 5 days in my own house without 'leaving' and I was dying, I'd dig through 3 feet of snow. Lol. It sounds ridiculous when you put it into perspective.
Always prefer candles,lighter, battery,torch/flashlights, biscuits/cookies, drinking water or packed juices,charcoal,or gas stoves, stuck some water in the gallons, necessaries things whether the weather is good or bad bcos u don't know when u gonna use it all. And always have a back packs and keep ur important papers there.
Her next move should be to form a neighborhood group so the residents can check on each other and help each other. It is clear that government cannot handle emergency situations. Glad that her story had a good result.
Poor dear, there were many people in terrible situations who ALL needed help at the same time. She and her son were not in imminent danger. Very unpleasant and uncomfortable but not life threatening. They had shelter and blankets. It's awful, people were found frozen to death in snowbanks and vehicles. Did she not have anything to dig a little path? Even just a few feet beyond her door in case of fire? Are she and her 15 year old son both physically disabled and can't do any work like shoveling? A seizure disorder doesn't mean he can't shovel, unless he has other health problems, but I'm sure she would have mentioned those as well. In a crisis everyone has to be prepared to take some responsibility for their families well being and safety. Rescue/clean up crews can't do it all immediately. We get blizzards here but we prepare ourselves for being snowed in and outages. Thankfully, this lady and her son are OK, and hopefully she learned to be prepared for when this happens again.
Wow! You sound so dumb, didn't you hear her say that her son has seizures? The snow was actually covering the entire door of her BASEMENT apartment & when she opened the door the snow fell into the BASEMENT apartment; even the reporter had trouble getting to her door. They had no heat or electricity and you assume that this is not life threatening? Honey, let me send you some money so that you can buy a vowel and a clue. Learn to listen to the entire segment before posting stupid comments. TF.
@@the4cqueen148 I did listen to the entire segment, did you? You seem hangry, have some 🍲. She said it has been 8 years since her 15 year old son had a seizure. Up to 75% of children who have had seizures when they were very young will no longer have seizures once they are in their teens. This young man has been fortunate and hopefully his neurologist will declare him seizure free very soon. A seizure disorder is frightening but not a death sentence. I have a neurological disorder that causes pain and occasional seizures. Not pleasant but that's life. It's nerve-wracking to be snowed in with no power. Happens up here 🇨🇦 from time to time. I still have to get to work though, no matter what. We keep shovels in the house so we can dig ourselves out. We even keep shovels/sand/blankets/flashlights/extra clothing/candles/ lighters/trailmix/etc, etc, in our vehicle, so if we become stranded we don't freeze to death or suffocate. When you open the door and the snow is to the top (like she indicated) start digging from the top using a shovel, bucket, large bowl, dustpan, whatever you have on hand, that will scoop snow. Place some towels by the door to catch the snow that falls in. Put the snow in a garbage can or garbage bag lined laundry basket, whatever you have on hand to lug snow and dump it in the tub/shower. It will eventually melt when the heat is restored and she can run hot water on it. No one is taking a bath without heat anyway. She only has to do this to clear enough room to step outside. She could carry on and dig a narrow path for a few feet, throwing the snow up and away. Take little breaks and don't overheat. Overheating leads to hypothermia once you start to cool down. "Sweat is death" is a old saying up here. She needed to do just a little digging on her own and not wait to be rescued. What if the building caught fire from fallen candles? At least now they could get out the door. Opening the door occasionally when you're burning candles is necessary for ventilation. "Imminent" means very soon. Like the people outside who died of exposure within a few hours. She and her son hunkered down for 5 days, did their best to keep warm and stayed safe. Not starving or dehydrated, no frostbite, they were OK. Unless she drives a 4×4 with chains, they weren't going anywhere anyway. Maybe you and this lady are originally from a warmer area that doesn't get blizzards and don't know much about winter survival and how such weather paralyzes an entire city. Emergency crews can't help everyone at the same time. People with significant disabilities ♿️ would be prioritized over those who could dig and walk. The elderly/the bedridden, people who would normally have caregivers arrive to their home daily, would need help more urgently than her and her son. People on home oxygen who need their oxygen delivered to them and CAN'T exert themselves to shovel will need help sooner. Those who have the ability to help themselves need to take some responsibility during a crisis. Waiting for someone to shovel for you and then calling the media when you don't get a quick response, knowing other people are in worse situations..... this really didn't need to make the news. Anyway, go back to watching Wheel of Fortune, sweetie.
Great Lakes Energy, N.W. Michigan, nonprofit cooperative, great service. The customers own the company. I've never been "brushed off" by them when I've had a question.
Successful people don't become that way overnight. What most people see at a glance- wealth, a great career, purpose-is the result of hard work and hustle over time. I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life..
I find it concerning that people rely on others to keep them safe at this level. Own a shovel and at the very least make sure you can crawl out in case of a fire
If you look at the walkways they were waiting to get shoveled out too, lol. People nowadays are useless. It's amazing they don't get "stuck" on the toilet waiting for someone else to wipe their arse!
Why does the state not call for assistance from the national guard, in the UK the government can and has asked for military assistance in major events, the army is driving ambulance in the UK while the ambulance staff are on strike and the army was called in when the firefighters went on strike the other year.
BPD had plenty of funding to prevent this. Maybe they shouldn't have wasted it on LRADs and MRAPs. Then they could have actually helped the citizens who pay their checks. This is a really great example of why defunding is not only necessary but a matter of life and death.
I hope this never happens again. They need a 911 system there that will go to people immediately and help them. My heart breaks for her. I'm glad she's okay now
Rule number one; secure your own seat belt and oxygen before helping others. In other words, the conditions did not warrant emergency personnel risking their lives to help. We live in the moment and never prepare for emergency if no one could get to you. We're too comfortable with our cars, cellphones, television 📺 and internet. I'm watching more and more videos on how to survive without the essentials.
Simple rule never live in basement, and never live higher in a building then you are willing to walk if a power outage kills the elevators, the sweet spot are the 4th, or 5th floors.
You said some really dumb sht and acted like it was profound 🤦🏻♀️ Do you think there’s that many housing options that everyone can decide to live on the 4th and 5th floor?
@@bobg3633 real tough guy huh I would just like to see what you would do in that situation it's a fuckin blizzard dumbass if the snow is almost over the door what are you going to do walk through it to shovel
It's crazy that people prefer to sit for whole days and hope that they dont die, when they can take shovel , bucket or whatever and clear way to the street on her own
Are all the residents arms and legs broken? They can't operate a shovel or put one foot in front of the other? Evvvverybody in WNY had to walk through snow at some point in the last few days.
@@Jesse-gr2xo about a foot. Into 6 feet of snow. Kinda swam across front yard then walked to the gas station which was open and got some snacks and my cigs. All is well. Shitty part was shoveling when I got back to get to the door. Took nearly 3 hours just to make one path
Where did all the snow go? If it was 6 feet like she said and there's no undisturbed snow around there which the camera shows. I know it didn't melt yet, I'm within 50 miles of her
all bullshit,, 5 days, cold, no power, cell lasted five days without power, come on, really. .....anybody really in this situation would burn down the house, that would get attention! !!....stop the drama!
@@southtownsjoe32 I have a Ulefone, it has EVERYTHING you would ever need. I go horse camping in the wilderness at least 50 miles from the nearest small town. I need a phone that connects wherever I am...this phone does it. The battery life (there IS a video) goes on forever. It can stream live video continuously for 25 hours, and you can talk continuously for 54 hours. Google is the only phone service provider I have found that will work for a Ulefone, other providers SAY they can...but, they CAN'T. And, no...I do not work for Google or Ulefone...just an extremely happy customer.
@@southtownsjoe32 😂I was reading that cell phones couldn't be charged because the power was out...I was just trying to recommend one. I'm so sorry you are/have experienced that. But, your comment was funny...in a good way, of course. 🤗
she had a son... and he didn't shuffle snow? like before it reached the top of the door? What is it I'm missing here? oh yeah, brains... like every winter, snow will fall, have your snowboots and a spade ready to shuffle. Or suffer the consequences. Like every winter before, and every winter after.... No excuse, I grew up in Norway and when I was the age of her boy, I shuffle snow for every neighbor and earned good cash... 2 times a day shuffle if the snow was bad... good cash. Just a terrible parent... no parents I know would have let the snow get that high without sending their kids out to shuffle. If you wish to come with an excuse, before you start, friendly reminder: you chose to suffer the consequences, it's a choice...
Thank You Jesus for Saving Her and her son
I'm glad her and her child is okay now
The ONLY PEOPLE AT RISK were those clearing snow. WHERE IS HER HUSBAND OR THE FATHER OF HER CHILD?

I get that if you rent you shouldn't be responsible for shoveling snow, but come on people. Everyone needs to do their part when there is a natural disaster. If she was really that worried about her son, she would have been out there shoveling it out herself little by little. Especially after 5 days... People expect way too much sometimes.
***I sincerely don't want to disrespect the family members of those who died in this horrific storm***
I don't live in an area that gets storms like this, but, I'm wondering how 60 people have died in Buffalo. Are they dying from car accidents? I'm sure some have died from hypothermia but were they in their houses, or out in the blizzard trying to get help, and were most elderly?
I've heard about the gal that died of carbon monoxide poisoning from her exhaust pipe being covered in snow.
I know they didn't have power or heat during the storm and probably still don't have power.
I don't know the population of Buffalo NY, but 60 people seems like a lot to me and I don't understand how that can happen!
Imagine freezing to death in your car bc you are to scared to knock on a random person's house... city people are weird and helpless
I'll just sit in my car in the middle of the street and die instead of looking for shelter...
Suspect those not perishing from preexisting illness (shoveling snow, heart attack, etc.) ignored/underestimated the cold, depth of snow, possibility of impassable roads, need to run the vehicle only 10 minutes per hour for heat, keep exhaust pipe clear, lower car windows for ventilation, emergency supplies for disasters, etc. Possibly no experience with bad weather? Dire lack of planning at a minimum. Experience is a harsh educator, if you survive. We offer condolences to those who survive.
Why don't they prepare? It's not like it wasn't predicted 🙄🙄
@amandahulsey6165 especially since there was a driving ban in place that obviously was ignored.
I believe what you're all missing here is that the young lady who died in her car also had on Scrubs, as in hospital Scrubs because she was a nurse who just got off work. No matter the weather, some people have no choice but to be out there. Please don't forget this fact again. It is true that some of them shouldn't have been out there, but some of them had no choice.
Incompetent and uncaring property management.
So you want manger go kill self to help her hmmm she knows winter here should been prepared buy stuff ahead winter shovel you on space
@@sylviarivas741 5 days? You read what i said.
No they could not get there
The door opens inward and they were trapped? If being in the house for 5 days is an emergency, you'd think a person who could dig themselves out, would do so. I mean, if I really couldn't survive for 5 days in my own house without 'leaving' and I was dying, I'd dig through 3 feet of snow. Lol. It sounds ridiculous when you put it into perspective.
You cant count on your landlord or the city. You have to be prepared I guess.
True.
I am sorry for you.
نسأل الله السلامة والعافية.
نسأل الله أن يرفع عنكم البلاء والمحن.
Always prefer candles,lighter, battery,torch/flashlights, biscuits/cookies, drinking water or packed juices,charcoal,or gas stoves, stuck some water in the gallons, necessaries things whether the weather is good or bad bcos u don't know when u gonna use it all. And always have a back packs and keep ur important papers there.
Ohhhh, my GOSH !!!!!!!! I can't even imagine going thru that.
Her next move should be to form a neighborhood group so the residents can check on each other and help each other. It is clear that government cannot handle emergency situations. Glad that her story had a good result.
Everyone pray together to send the snow to Toronto.
Scary I remember it flooded in state and alot of people died in basement apartments
That red towel saved her life
poor people
God blesu
Poor dear, there were many people in terrible situations who ALL needed help at the same time. She and her son were not in imminent danger. Very unpleasant and uncomfortable but not life threatening. They had shelter and blankets. It's awful, people were found frozen to death in snowbanks and vehicles. Did she not have anything to dig a little path? Even just a few feet beyond her door in case of fire? Are she and her 15 year old son both physically disabled and can't do any work like shoveling? A seizure disorder doesn't mean he can't shovel, unless he has other health problems, but I'm sure she would have mentioned those as well. In a crisis everyone has to be prepared to take some responsibility for their families well being and safety. Rescue/clean up crews can't do it all immediately. We get blizzards here but we prepare ourselves for being snowed in and outages. Thankfully, this lady and her son are OK, and hopefully she learned to be prepared for when this happens again.
Wow! You sound so dumb, didn't you hear her say that her son has seizures? The snow was actually covering the entire door of her BASEMENT apartment & when she opened the door the snow fell into the BASEMENT apartment; even the reporter had trouble getting to her door. They had no heat or electricity and you assume that this is not life threatening? Honey, let me send you some money so that you can buy a vowel and a clue. Learn to listen to the entire segment before posting stupid comments. TF.
@@the4cqueen148 I did listen to the entire segment, did you? You seem hangry, have some 🍲. She said it has been 8 years since her 15 year old son had a seizure. Up to 75% of children who have had seizures when they were very young will no longer have seizures once they are in their teens. This young man has been fortunate and hopefully his neurologist will declare him seizure free very soon. A seizure disorder is frightening but not a death sentence. I have a neurological disorder that causes pain and occasional seizures. Not pleasant but that's life. It's nerve-wracking to be snowed in with no power. Happens up here 🇨🇦 from time to time. I still have to get to work though, no matter what. We keep shovels in the house so we can dig ourselves out. We even keep shovels/sand/blankets/flashlights/extra clothing/candles/ lighters/trailmix/etc, etc, in our vehicle, so if we become stranded we don't freeze to death or suffocate. When you open the door and the snow is to the top (like she indicated) start digging from the top using a shovel, bucket, large bowl, dustpan, whatever you have on hand, that will scoop snow. Place some towels by the door to catch the snow that falls in. Put the snow in a garbage can or garbage bag lined laundry basket, whatever you have on hand to lug snow and dump it in the tub/shower. It will eventually melt when the heat is restored and she can run hot water on it. No one is taking a bath without heat anyway. She only has to do this to clear enough room to step outside. She could carry on and dig a narrow path for a few feet, throwing the snow up and away. Take little breaks and don't overheat. Overheating leads to hypothermia once you start to cool down. "Sweat is death" is a old saying up here. She needed to do just a little digging on her own and not wait to be rescued. What if the building caught fire from fallen candles? At least now they could get out the door. Opening the door occasionally when you're burning candles is necessary for ventilation. "Imminent" means very soon. Like the people outside who died of exposure within a few hours. She and her son hunkered down for 5 days, did their best to keep warm and stayed safe. Not starving or dehydrated, no frostbite, they were OK. Unless she drives a 4×4 with chains, they weren't going anywhere anyway. Maybe you and this lady are originally from a warmer area that doesn't get blizzards and don't know much about winter survival and how such weather paralyzes an entire city. Emergency crews can't help everyone at the same time. People with significant disabilities ♿️ would be prioritized over those who could dig and walk. The elderly/the bedridden, people who would normally have caregivers arrive to their home daily, would need help more urgently than her and her son. People on home oxygen who need their oxygen delivered to them and CAN'T exert themselves to shovel will need help sooner. Those who have the ability to help themselves need to take some responsibility during a crisis. Waiting for someone to shovel for you and then calling the media when you don't get a quick response, knowing other people are in worse situations..... this really didn't need to make the news. Anyway, go back to watching Wheel of Fortune, sweetie.
Keep safe 🙏
Great Lakes Energy, N.W. Michigan, nonprofit cooperative, great service.
The customers own the company.
I've never been "brushed off" by them when I've had a question.
Had that been my neighbor. Id of been there all night shoveling if I had to. People need to work together to help people.
OH MY GOSH!!!!😪

You are right and it's the truth 👍

I totally agree with you, the c r y p t o currency market is the most profitable venture I ever in-vested in
I reached my goal of $257k yearly trade earnings. Setting realistic goals is an essential part of trading
Safer at Home
🇧🇩🖤 Prayers for everyone 🖤🇧🇩
I find it concerning that people rely on others to keep them safe at this level. Own a shovel and at the very least make sure you can crawl out in case of a fire
Just melt the snow bonfire too keep warm
I want my all my tax money back
She wasn’t the only one trapped, this is why you prepare before the storm !
Property Managements don’t care and speaking from experience.
Imagine how much worse it would be if it weren't for the global warming.
does she Not have a snow shovel??? how does a cell phone stay charged for 5 days without power ?
were the hell is your neighbors ?
If you look at the walkways they were waiting to get shoveled out too, lol. People nowadays are useless. It's amazing they don't get "stuck" on the toilet waiting for someone else to wipe their arse!
This is why you say hello to your fellow tenants and exchange phone numbers for situations like this.
So happy this turned out a happy ending Godbless
Not always, some neighbors especially men who live alone are not people you wanna be giving numbers too !
Wow!!!
How is it that a building design like that is approved for an area known to get a lot of snow annually?
They all need electric shovels.
Batteries are no good when it is cold. The need gas powered shovels.
@@grantofat6438 Batteries are fine in the cold. The battery run shovels make shoveling much easier. And you don’t need gas.
Where the heck are the neighbors?! WTF
"PANAMA RELOCATION TOURS! WITH JACKIE!🙋 😊 👍❤ 👈"
Why does the state not call for assistance from the national guard, in the UK the government can and has asked for military assistance in major events, the army is driving ambulance in the UK while the ambulance staff are on strike and the army was called in when the firefighters went on strike the other year.
Man NY must be cursed cause those poor people didn't deserve this, it should be 66 degrees without snow
BPD had plenty of funding to prevent this. Maybe they shouldn't have wasted it on LRADs and MRAPs. Then they could have actually helped the citizens who pay their checks. This is a really great example of why defunding is not only necessary but a matter of life and death.
Cuaca yang sangat ekstrim. Saljunya sangat tebal.
I hope this never happens again. They need a 911 system there that will go to people immediately and help them. My heart breaks for her. I'm glad she's okay now
I guess you have no clue what happened there, do some research before you talk
Why didn't she shovel?
Rule number one; secure your own seat belt and oxygen before helping others. In other words, the conditions did not warrant emergency personnel risking their lives to help.
We live in the moment and never prepare for emergency if no one could get to you.
We're too comfortable with our cars, cellphones, television 📺 and internet.
I'm watching more and more videos on how to survive without the essentials.
Dang that's crazy, we leaving here January 3rd bc I have things to do however being trapped anywhere sucks even if it's on a ELEVATOR sheesh
Simple rule never live in basement, and never live higher in a building then you are willing to walk if a power outage kills the elevators, the sweet spot are the 4th, or 5th floors.
Money determines were u live.
You said some really dumb sht and acted like it was profound 🤦🏻♀️
Do you think there’s that many housing options that everyone can decide to live on the 4th and 5th floor?
I could of dug out the entire area with a spoon in 5 days! lol
The snow haulers dumped a mountain of snow on my property, yet cleared downtown for a party as directed by the mayor
People are absolutely helpless .
They want everybody else to things for them. I see it all the time where I live.
No people are not helpless people are dumb, how do ypu bot have a shovel,
This is why i prep for everything.
Food water ammo.
When a phone or computer can't help you...
And dumb
@@bobg3633 real tough guy huh I would just like to see what you would do in that situation it's a fuckin blizzard dumbass if the snow is almost over the door what are you going to do walk through it to shovel
You’d think after you pay rent you’d get treated better by the owners
Why would you think that?
It's crazy that people prefer to sit for whole days and hope that they dont die, when they can take shovel , bucket or whatever and clear way to the street on her own
Well Done God's Blessings to them n ChanneI from Ireland hope send Donation but will tk tm with ! +**+weather over tr
I didn't even know buffaloes lived in apartments.
🙏🙏🙏♥️🙏🙏🙏
😳OMG😨scary😱❄❄❄❄
Are all the residents arms and legs broken? They can't operate a shovel or put one foot in front of the other? Evvvverybody in WNY had to walk through snow at some point in the last few days.
OMG this is so ridiculous LOL like they couldn't shovel and get out. That's ridiculous
I was stuck for 5 days
Got out this morning had enough of that shit and jumped out my window
Shit was whack. Ran outta cigs and everything
How far did you have to jump? Hopefully you're ok. And then stores were probably closed, if a person could make it to one.
@@Jesse-gr2xo about a foot. Into 6 feet of snow. Kinda swam across front yard then walked to the gas station which was open and got some snacks and my cigs. All is well. Shitty part was shoveling when I got back to get to the door. Took nearly 3 hours just to make one path
Where did all the snow go?
If it was 6 feet like she said and there's no undisturbed snow around there which the camera shows. I know it didn't melt yet, I'm within 50 miles of her
all bullshit,, 5 days, cold, no power, cell lasted five days without power, come on, really. .....anybody really in this situation would burn down the house, that would get attention! !!....stop the drama!
@@southtownsjoe32
I have a Ulefone, it has EVERYTHING you would ever need. I go horse camping in the wilderness at least 50 miles from the nearest small town.
I need a phone that connects wherever I am...this phone does it.
The battery life (there IS a video) goes on forever. It can stream live video continuously for 25 hours, and you can talk continuously for 54 hours.
Google is the only phone service provider I have found that will work for a Ulefone, other providers SAY they can...but, they CAN'T.
And, no...I do not work for Google or Ulefone...just an extremely happy customer.
@@danni1993 That's just great, we're you also camping in this apartment for 5 days?. .....stop the madness!
@@southtownsjoe32
😂I was reading that cell phones couldn't be charged because the power was out...I was just trying to recommend one.
I'm so sorry you are/have experienced that.
But, your comment was funny...in a good way, of course. 🤗
Wait until it all melts
she had a son... and he didn't shuffle snow? like before it reached the top of the door?
What is it I'm missing here? oh yeah, brains... like every winter, snow will fall, have your snowboots and a spade ready to shuffle. Or suffer the consequences.
Like every winter before, and every winter after....
No excuse, I grew up in Norway and when I was the age of her boy, I shuffle snow for every neighbor and earned good cash... 2 times a day shuffle if the snow was bad... good cash.
Just a terrible parent... no parents I know would have let the snow get that high without sending their kids out to shuffle.
If you wish to come with an excuse, before you start, friendly reminder: you chose to suffer the consequences, it's a choice...
Remind me of Palestine 😢 free Palestine 🇵🇸 please 😭
Your kid was 15! Lmfao when I was 15 I would of found this fun!
My dad would've handed me a shovel and said "get at it, girl!"
