No only in zone A and B they were ordered to leave. They cannot evacuate ALL of Florida. And they evacuated where the storm _surge_ was expected to hit (badly, in the beginning they feared it could be 10 to even 15 ft). This couple was flooded because of the heavy rainfall RAIN. So essentially these residents thought the worst was over, they had been lucky - and then the flood came. The surge retreated back into the ocean - but not the rainwater.
I think on the surface we think leaving is simple. It's not. The majority of average people don't have the funds to just leave. I know I don't, but I'm a single man with many friends. I have plenty of support and options. A sofa is always there for me. Many people are also on their own. No family, friends, or support. It's a very difficult situation.
@@lawmansama Why be so negative folks? Think positive folks. We received 30 inches of rain in Fort lauderdale last year and my flood insurance gave me and my neighbors our homes back. Flood insurance is federally backed and as such has less strings attached. Make your claims and be patient.

Well I hate to burst anyones bubble but this issue is only going to get worse and worse and by 2100 large amounts of land will be gone from Florida, which will only be sped up each time a hurricane comes through and takes more and more and more land and the hurricanes will be increasing in frequency and scale, which further takes away land and the cycle continues until Florida is quite literally uninhabitable. You can't live in a state where a hurricane barrels through the state every year and does this. Just like you can't live in Arizona if it's 130 degrees.

I was born in NL. The Dutch solution includes levels of state intervention and funding that would horrify the average US Democrat. It's worth it, it keeps a generally rather happy and healthy, economically successful small country from having half of its most thickly populated areas under water at every Spring Tide. But the forces at work on some parts of the US Gulf coast would be beyond what even Dutch engineers could deal with.
@@carelgoodheir692 there are already dunes along the Florida coast. They could start to make those bigger. And instead of building real estate (out of pure greed) inside low laying area's, like in Sarasota and Bradenton for instance; they could turn those low area's into natural flood zones. Instead of doing nothing, they could do something. Yes, the storms and conditions are worse. No, 100% protection would not be possible, even with Dutch innovation. But 60% less damage for instance, would still be a lot less worse than what we see now.

This is why you shouldn't live in Florida anymore it's definitely not safe. I can only imagine they'll face 3-4 hurricanes in a span of a month in the future with the way things are going.
Some areas of Florida have about the same risk of extreme weather events as anywhere else in the U.S. However, considering that Florida has the most coastline of any of the 48 connected U.S. states, the Gov’nr should have taken a better leadership role than just banning the mention of climate change from state documents and school textbooks.
I am glad FEMA is helping these people but... I am really conflicted on people rebuilding in Florida. FEMA money is just wasted if its given to rebuild their houses over and over every year... at some point you need to force them to rebuild in another state, or only allow them to rebuild with concrete buildings etc. There is a reason home insurance is basically not available / scam / over-priced in Florida, because its not practical at least not the way the homes are built.
Honestly, I am surprised the death toll isn't MUCH higher. So many people refused to evacuate and didn't take the storm seriously. People getting tornado warnings going outside to look around when they hear the tornado coming. Having parties, going surfing, running generators indoors, not turning off their electricity as flood waters entered their homes. It truly is shocking that the number isn't higher. Glad for it, though. Hopefully the survivors who learned the hard way will take warnings more seriously next time.
More people left for this storm than any other storm in the past 7 years. That's why the death was so low. It could've been a lot worse. If Helene didn't come first a lot of people would've stayed and died in Milton.
Such an offensive over simplification of what happened. Perhaps you should limit your insights to something you have experienced and not blaming victoms and the dead for your judgmental imaginings. Oh I'm From Asheville with a Daughter in Tampa and the best thing you can do at this point is to simply apologize!!
16 dead is awful. But what happened to hurricane Helena ? Almost 300 dead, 700 still missing. 11 in one family, swept away in flood waters. Has everyone just forgotten about them?
@@michaelhapgood782 people don't give a fuck about Kids dying in Yemen ect.... certainly not gonna let these people hold more weight for no reason 16 people died , woopty fuck doo.
My home took a direct hit and minimal damage. Sent the family up to Virginia and rode it out on my own. Got block construction and cat 5 windows. My house took it like a champ. Plus every storm season i have a storm prep of water, food, batteries. Also keep plenty of fuel and generator. So far its been 3 days without power and haven’t touched my reserve fuel yet. My advice to anyone living in Florida is don’t move here unless you can handle a big hurricane hitting at least once a year. And as nice as living on the water is don’t live their unless your prepared to dump money into your home every year.
The islands are facing the same thing that Florida is facing. Specifically, the prime minister of the Bahamas has been telling the UN emphatically about this. Not enough people of power and position are paying attention to him or this to the point of DOING anything. This has to change. If you don't like immigration now, wait until islands and lands are getting closer and closer to being underwater. This is a WORLD problem, and we need to get serious about acting on it.
There are dumb people that keep buying property in FL, no matter how expensive. Some people just don’t have the brains. FL is a disaster zone that should encourage people to move up north.
Everywhere has risks of natural disasters. Should we not build in tornado alley? In areas that can get big blizzards/ice storms? In areas prone to earthquakes? In areas with active volcanoes? In areas prone to wildfires? In areas where flash flooding/ mudslides occur? Where would you expect everyone to go? If anything out of everything I mentioned hurricanes are predictable. Everything else you'll get very little warning.

Almost every whether channel in the country was reporting that a hurricane was on the way days in advance. I don't think throwing funds at an early warning program would have made a difference.
I want to know why no one is asking the hard questions to our congress about why THEY are not taking it upon themselves to come back and discuss funding. Do they know stuff that we don’t?
Because the speaker of the House who is a Republican will not call them back. They said they gave them the 20 billion they asked for but all they did is allow them to spend next years budget now. Basically they would rather campaign and make the present administration look bad then do their job and I'm directly talking about the Republican controlled House of Representatives .

I grieve with those who have lost so much, lives of loved ones, houses they thought were a fortress strong enough to withstand Milton and all the other tragedies we're seeing coming out of the mid-state area of Florida. I say that sincerely. Here's the question that comes to my mind: how did anyone expect to remain safe when living on reclaimed land from a swamp? Florida is mostly on reclaimed land that used to be the Everglades. The panhandle aside, that long peninsula is a giant swamp- nothing but flat lowlands. My dearest late mother-in-law had very sane advice for choosing a place to live and her #1 criterion was "don't live in a flood plain.", the rest of the list is short but easy, DON'T live, #2 near a volcano that has erupted in the past 2500 years, #3 on a fault line, #4 in the path of the northeast gale (we both have lived in New England coast all our lives. Remember George Clooney and The Perfect Storm?) #5 near a landfill, particularly a dumping ground for toxic waste-(most of you don't remember The Love Canal where 9 children on the same street died of cancer after living there for only a few years). There are other sane, safe rules for habitation like being hooked up to the town sewer and having a mailbox the carriers can get to easily, making the front of the house disguise the beauty inside and to the rear (this discourages burglary), having house insurance to cover as much as you can afford every month, grow your own herbs, plant wildflowers for the bees and butterflies and hang a feeder for migrating hummingbirds. The lesser list is long but just as obvious. I'm lucky to have found housing that fits all these criteria. Our backyard had an area of the typical suburban lawn but the other portion, much larger, was tilled every year to discourage small trees from sprouting and seeded with wildflowers. It was amazing to see who showed up to drink nectar, dine on seeds and fish for small aquatic denizens as we lived on an inlet of a saltwater harbour. The thing that slaps me upside the head, and though I recognize that many wouldn't have this choice, are the interviews with owners of flooded and destroyed property in which the same phrase echoed when asked if they were going to rebuild in exactly the same place that flooded about every five years, "We love the view." I find it very hard to sympathize with stupidity.
Planet earth isn't creating the acceleration of a warming planet, that's burning fossil fuels, for which climate scientists have been warning for many decades and trumpsollini calls 'fake' or for desatan 'woke' declaring war on woke
But there are many places that are not prone to such massive devastation on a yearly basis. An earthquake can theoretically happen anywhere but it is much more likely on a fault line. Hurricanes can devastate places we normally wouldn't consider but coastal communities, especially on the gulf are definitely going to get hit over and over. It all depends on whether you want to risk it every year or if you want to mitigate those chances by living somewhere that it is much less likely to happen. I've lived almost my whole life on the Alabama coast but I won't live on the beach, and if and when it becomes more threatening where I live I will not remain here.
Be smart and make a long-term plan to move from low lying areas of Florida or any other flood prone area. Having a secure home is important. Storms will only get worse.
If that is true then why is the worst hurricane to hit florida in the past? Also why did we recently have one of the longest hurricane droughts of 11 years? You aren't making sense. That is feelings based nonsense.
1. If you live there and dont have flood insurance I can only feel so bad for you. 2. They want congress to act NOW even though Kamala offered funding to DeSantis and he refused because that would mean democrats doing a good thing and helping republicans and all people who need it, and he cant have that narrative. 3. There have been hurricanes destroying parts of Florida for how many years now? With all this technology and resources and experts, they can't figure out a way to prepare better for these situations? Maybe build large condo like shelters meant for hurricanes so people can evacuate there.. Instead of continuing to build condos in south beach and charge 5k a month for influencers to move into
We live in tampa and survived the storm. It was terrifying but we didnt flood in our neighborhood. My neighborhood is ravaged. Pray for us- we have a long road ahead of us!
These storm are going to get more frequent and more powerful. The power comes from the warming ocean water. Florida is not a good place to buy real estate.
Lmfaoo not they arent.. its the same rhetoric every year but im not seeing a rise in intensity or frequency.. there were worst storms measured in the early 1900s. Try again loser
You people are acting as if we've never had hurricanes before and that somehow humans are responsible for them..

Feel for all affected i could never live in those regions and since I don't swim it's a double nono🙏🏽
No only in zone A and B they were ordered to leave. They cannot evacuate ALL of Florida. And they evacuated where the storm _surge_ was expected to hit (badly, in the beginning they feared it could be 10 to even 15 ft). This couple was flooded because of the heavy rainfall RAIN. So essentially these residents thought the worst was over, they had been lucky - and then the flood came. The surge retreated back into the ocean - but not the rainwater.
“Oh no, how could we have known….” Unbelievable.
I think on the surface we think leaving is simple. It's not. The majority of average people don't have the funds to just leave. I know I don't, but I'm a single man with many friends. I have plenty of support and options. A sofa is always there for me. Many people are also on their own. No family, friends, or support. It's a very difficult situation.

@@lawmansama Why be so negative folks? Think positive folks. We received 30 inches of rain in Fort lauderdale last year and my flood insurance gave me and my neighbors our homes back. Flood insurance is federally backed and as such has less strings attached. Make your claims and be patient.

Well I hate to burst anyones bubble but this issue is only going to get worse and worse and by 2100 large amounts of land will be gone from Florida, which will only be sped up each time a hurricane comes through and takes more and more and more land and the hurricanes will be increasing in frequency and scale, which further takes away land and the cycle continues until Florida is quite literally uninhabitable. You can't live in a state where a hurricane barrels through the state every year and does this. Just like you can't live in Arizona if it's 130 degrees.

Florida needs Dutch innovation to deal with future hurricanes and floods; dunes, floodzones and waterworks.
The water came from the sky 😂😂😂
@@kingjesus7926 please look into how the Netherland deal with flood both from the river and the sea.
Dikes keeps the river within its boundery. If a dike breaks or water comes too high, we have both active and passive flood zones.
It doesnt matter where the water comes from, we control the flow and we control where the water goes to.
@@kingjesus7926 regardless, where the water comes from, the Dutch know how to deal with it
I was born in NL. The Dutch solution includes levels of state intervention and funding that would horrify the average US Democrat. It's worth it, it keeps a generally rather happy and healthy, economically successful small country from having half of its most thickly populated areas under water at every Spring Tide. But the forces at work on some parts of the US Gulf coast would be beyond what even Dutch engineers could deal with.
@@carelgoodheir692 there are already dunes along the Florida coast. They could start to make those bigger.
And instead of building real estate (out of pure greed) inside low laying area's, like in Sarasota and Bradenton for instance; they could turn those low area's into natural flood zones.
Instead of doing nothing, they could do something. Yes, the storms and conditions are worse. No, 100% protection would not be possible, even with Dutch innovation. But 60% less damage for instance, would still be a lot less worse than what we see now.

Some areas of Florida have about the same risk of extreme weather events as anywhere else in the U.S.
However, considering that Florida has the most coastline of any of the 48 connected U.S. states, the Gov’nr should have taken a better leadership role than just banning the mention of climate change from state documents and school textbooks.
Sure did when Jeb Bush was governor.

I am glad FEMA is helping these people but... I am really conflicted on people rebuilding in Florida. FEMA money is just wasted if its given to rebuild their houses over and over every year... at some point you need to force them to rebuild in another state, or only allow them to rebuild with concrete buildings etc.
There is a reason home insurance is basically not available / scam / over-priced in Florida, because its not practical at least not the way the homes are built.
Yes, additional FEMA funding should be provided but with the stipulation that it’s used to make homes more resilient to hurricanes
Insurance isn’t over-priced. The risk is underestimated.

@@nurulhudaghazali6213 Nah
Honestly, I am surprised the death toll isn't MUCH higher. So many people refused to evacuate and didn't take the storm seriously. People getting tornado warnings going outside to look around when they hear the tornado coming. Having parties, going surfing, running generators indoors, not turning off their electricity as flood waters entered their homes. It truly is shocking that the number isn't higher. Glad for it, though. Hopefully the survivors who learned the hard way will take warnings more seriously next time.
More people left for this storm than any other storm in the past 7 years. That's why the death was so low. It could've been a lot worse. If Helene didn't come first a lot of people would've stayed and died in Milton.
Because they are liars and the truth is NOT 🚫 in them

My home took a direct hit and minimal damage. Sent the family up to Virginia and rode it out on my own. Got block construction and cat 5 windows. My house took it like a champ.
Plus every storm season i have a storm prep of water, food, batteries. Also keep plenty of fuel and generator. So far its been 3 days without power and haven’t touched my reserve fuel yet.
My advice to anyone living in Florida is don’t move here unless you can handle a big hurricane hitting at least once a year. And as nice as living on the water is don’t live their unless your prepared to dump money into your home every year.
The islands are facing the same thing that Florida is facing. Specifically, the prime minister of the Bahamas has been telling the UN emphatically about this. Not enough people of power and position are paying attention to him or this to the point of DOING anything. This has to change. If you don't like immigration now, wait until islands and lands are getting closer and closer to being underwater. This is a WORLD problem, and we need to get serious about acting on it.
Whites will never get serious about it. It requires admitting they have been wrong. This is not a racist statement, just the truth.
Are we going to make it illegal to build and sell homes and land in these hurricane zones???
They want to build more houses and golf courses.
There are dumb people that keep buying property in FL, no matter how expensive. Some people just don’t have the brains. FL is a disaster zone that should encourage people to move up north.
Good luck with that lefty, sugar goat.
Dude this is America I should be able build my house wherever I buy property
Everywhere has risks of natural disasters. Should we not build in tornado alley? In areas that can get big blizzards/ice storms? In areas prone to earthquakes? In areas with active volcanoes? In areas prone to wildfires? In areas where flash flooding/ mudslides occur? Where would you expect everyone to go? If anything out of everything I mentioned hurricanes are predictable. Everything else you'll get very little warning.

How many times have we heard this has never happened before? Floods and droughts where they never happened before, over and over and over again. The people in Florida didn’t care when my home flooded from a flash flood up north. My empathy tank is on E.
I heard it did happen to Tampa 100 years, must have been the beginning of climate change.
@66el so it happening once 100 years ago is the same as it becoming frequent?
@@cheshireket3132 Considering 100 years, in the scope of Earth's history, is nothing, yes. The fact that it happened twice in 100 years is concerning. Use your brain, please.
@KitKatNisa
that's not what I'm talking about.
I'm talking about the rising frequency of hurricanes as a whole, the picture as a whole, is concerning.
If you took your own advice, you wouldn't talk in circles. But here we are.
@@cheshireket3132 well we can point out the Galveston Hurricane in the 1900s. Sometimes weather is weather. It’s not all climate change or climate engineering, maybe people should build away from the coast and give the land a buffer
I’m so sorry everyone.Sending prayer’s
Two working hands are worth more than a thousand hands clasped in prayers.
@@Danny451hateful person. Bless you 😢
I'm genuinely asking... why do people want to live in Florida? I've never been there. What do people love about it?
The weather. Palm trees. No snow. Beautiful place most of the year
I love that its on the other side of the country from me. See, when someone says "beautiful most of the year"......that's someone who doesn't mind sweating in awful humidity. I almost feel guilty because southern Michigan has had probably the best three years of weather for my tastes that I can recall in a long time, so while its changing everywhere, that seems to be positive change for me here.
@WBrown-cg6kd The weather huh?🤔😆🤣
Google "Emerald Coast".
The Sunshine State, beaches,warm weather all year, it's a retirement Community.
It’s so sad God please keep them safe 😢God bliss everyone
And the toll is over a thousand in NC and Tn with people still trapped on the mountains!!
One of the perils of living in a Holler.
sad
They ain't used ta tropical weather round those parts, I reckon.

We literally don't know that and you claiming that a lie is true to push a narrative should make everybody hate and distrust you.
NOTE to self…do NOT move to Florida -
Yes tell your friends. We don’t want you here 😂
@@johnsmith-q7q on it…
@@johnsmith-q7q Fine, we don't want to go there 😂
Let’s not discourage anyone.
See you in heaven @@johnsmith-q7q
The ENTIRE state is a flood zone. If you left & returned to an empty lot, buy a house boat & sit it on your property & pray a tree doesn’t fall on it when the next hurricane comes because even a house on stilts can fall or fly apart. And buy boat insurance.
everywhere is a flood zone except the lake wales ridge and the garbage mountains. there are " mountains" in florida ( new new york) made of garbage.
That's a brilliant idea. Sort of a converted trailer into a houseboat. Now, you would have to have really strong anchor lines on the house.
@@SteeveeKeys Thank you 😊. After watching these poor people in FL deal with these storms year after year as if each one is new, I’m convinced they either 1-Are new residents from the northern states & got conned into buying a good deal 2-Have been there forever & just hope the next one takes their home so they can rebuild or 3-Just plain delusional.
Meanwhile Trump shrugs and says it's just more beach front property.
You mean Biden and Kamala

Ain't no way in hell you never expected it to happen to you ... Y'all folks crazy as fuck ...
Stupid, not crazy.
What a hateful ridiculous comment!
@@paulabrown6840 no it ain't... You live n Florida and have the audacity to think that you could never be impacted by a major hurricane whether it's coming from the Atlantic or the Gulf of Mexico that makes no logical sense to me...
Just because you been down there 20 plus years and nothing has happened doesn't mean it's not going to happen you can't live in such a state and not think you will not be impacted by a major storm that's on top of the fact that they keep telling y'all that the storms are getting worse and you want to sit your dumbass down there and "ride it out"...
@@paulabrown6840why? It IS stupid to live in an area prone to extreme weather and then be surprised when your neighborhood is shredded.
DeSantis, Scott, Rubio and other Maga politicians need to re-examine their priorities.
When will CNN stop saying "both sides" as if both parties are the same? One party cares about people and one side cares about money. Simple. One has principles and the other has orange Jesus. Please cut it out.
Are you really this dumb??? Really???
The repubes have never been about the working class or poor, they have always been about the rich and always will be. This is why it confuses me when union workers say to vote for trump because the repubes are for working class people.
Hurricanes, Volcanos, earthquakes, and many other painful natural phenomena are the retribution of abused elements to humanity.
Humanity abuses natural elements, and then the abused elements punish humanity for wrongdoings.
Now Rick wants tax payers to pay for people living in risky areas. Won’t be getting my vote if that’s the case!
I grieve with those who have lost so much, lives of loved ones, houses they thought were a fortress strong enough to withstand Milton and all the other tragedies we're seeing coming out of the mid-state area of Florida. I say that sincerely. Here's the question that comes to my mind: how did anyone expect to remain safe when living on reclaimed land from a swamp? Florida is mostly on reclaimed land that used to be the Everglades. The panhandle aside, that long peninsula is a giant swamp- nothing but flat lowlands. My dearest late mother-in-law had very sane advice for choosing a place to live and her #1 criterion was "don't live in a flood plain.", the rest of the list is short but easy, DON'T live, #2 near a volcano that has erupted in the past 2500 years, #3 on a fault line, #4 in the path of the northeast gale (we both have lived in New England coast all our lives. Remember George Clooney and The Perfect Storm?) #5 near a landfill, particularly a dumping ground for toxic waste-(most of you don't remember The Love Canal where 9 children on the same street died of cancer after living there for only a few years). There are other sane, safe rules for habitation like being hooked up to the town sewer and having a mailbox the carriers can get to easily, making the front of the house disguise the beauty inside and to the rear (this discourages burglary), having house insurance to cover as much as you can afford every month, grow your own herbs, plant wildflowers for the bees and butterflies and hang a feeder for migrating hummingbirds. The lesser list is long but just as obvious. I'm lucky to have found housing that fits all these criteria. Our backyard had an area of the typical suburban lawn but the other portion, much larger, was tilled every year to discourage small trees from sprouting and seeded with wildflowers. It was amazing to see who showed up to drink nectar, dine on seeds and fish for small aquatic denizens as we lived on an inlet of a saltwater harbour. The thing that slaps me upside the head, and though I recognize that many wouldn't have this choice, are the interviews with owners of flooded and destroyed property in which the same phrase echoed when asked if they were going to rebuild in exactly the same place that flooded about every five years, "We love the view." I find it very hard to sympathize with stupidity.
I would say any active volcano regardless of how long it's been since it erupted.
There is nowhere on this planet that we are safe from the planet.
Planet earth isn't creating the acceleration of a warming planet, that's burning fossil fuels, for which climate scientists have been warning for many decades and trumpsollini calls 'fake' or for desatan 'woke' declaring war on woke
Nowhere. Nice observation
Amen
But there are many places that are not prone to such massive devastation on a yearly basis. An earthquake can theoretically happen anywhere but it is much more likely on a fault line. Hurricanes can devastate places we normally wouldn't consider but coastal communities, especially on the gulf are definitely going to get hit over and over. It all depends on whether you want to risk it every year or if you want to mitigate those chances by living somewhere that it is much less likely to happen. I've lived almost my whole life on the Alabama coast but I won't live on the beach, and if and when it becomes more threatening where I live I will not remain here.
The LORD YAH can keep us Safe here and there,safe in the cleft of the rock,in his hands Amen 🌸🌷🌸🌸🌷🌸🌷🌸🌷🌸🌷🌺🕊️🌸😇😇😇😇😇😇😇
Be smart and make a long-term plan to move from low lying areas of Florida or any other flood prone area. Having a secure home is important. Storms will only get worse.
If that is true then why is the worst hurricane to hit florida in the past? Also why did we recently have one of the longest hurricane droughts of 11 years? You aren't making sense. That is feelings based nonsense.
1. If you live there and dont have flood insurance I can only feel so bad for you. 2. They want congress to act NOW even though Kamala offered funding to DeSantis and he refused because that would mean democrats doing a good thing and helping republicans and all people who need it, and he cant have that narrative. 3. There have been hurricanes destroying parts of Florida for how many years now? With all this technology and resources and experts, they can't figure out a way to prepare better for these situations? Maybe build large condo like shelters meant for hurricanes so people can evacuate there.. Instead of continuing to build condos in south beach and charge 5k a month for influencers to move into
These ppl are wild. Y’all live in Florida but u crying talking about never thought it would happen. Weird af, are ppl THIS slow?
We live in tampa and survived the storm. It was terrifying but we didnt flood in our neighborhood. My neighborhood is ravaged. Pray for us- we have a long road ahead of us!
These storm are going to get more frequent and more powerful. The power comes from the warming ocean water. Florida is not a good place to buy real estate.
Lmfaoo not they arent.. its the same rhetoric every year but im not seeing a rise in intensity or frequency.. there were worst storms measured in the early 1900s.
Try again loser
Other than the cost and 2A violations, I'm so glad to live in SoCal.
I think the destruction of the Amazon rainforest is causing this adverse action!!
That is not helping either, but I bet it is cars burning fossil fuel.
You people are acting as if we've never had hurricanes before and that somehow humans are responsible for them.. We had major hurricanes far more frequently in the early 2000s, and the strongest hurricane ever recorded was in the 70s. This is completely normal. Hurricanes also regulate the earths temperature. Less hurricanes could be a bad thing.
@@r33thwow. Just wow.
@@r33th Hotter oceans make hurricanes more powerful, That is uncontoversial meteriological information. More CO2 on the air causes less of the sun's heat to be reflected back to space. That is uncontroversial climate information, understood since back in the 19th Century.
@carelgoodheir692 The amount of Co2 released into the atmosphere by human intervention is negligible to the formation of hurricanes. It doesn't move the needle in the slightest when it comes to these storms.
"EVACUATE NOW!"
"No! I dun wanna"

"Help me!"

Operation Popeye people. They have been controlling weather for decades. Look it up yourselves instead of gluing your face to CNN and believing every word. They actually fucking TELL YOU THAT THEY DO IT. Watching this garbage is your problem. Think for yourselves. Absolute zombies my God!!!
😂 Yes, yes. Paying the gooberment higher taxes, riding a bike & eating bugs will give them magic powers to "fix" the weather. 😂 Pathetic.
Could someone please explain why these people stayed in the path of a category five hurricane?
Can someone please explain why we give aid to other countries and get nothing in return.
