    Years ago, I was going to buy a home in Florida. My wife talked o me into change my mind because of the hurricanes. I'm so glad now she changed my mind for that. Now just spent my winters in rented homes. I feel so bad for all the losses that people have saved to live in tropical paradises and then things like this happens to them.

I'm praying for you my brother God bless you for all the things that you do I will be honored to stay on your Channel, Good Bless Keep up the good work.❤❤❤❤

    Thank you for your video! In the beginning, you were talking to your friend on the phone & came to a 4 way intersection of a main road where the stop lights were out & you didn't stop. Please, please, please for your safety & other's make sure you & anyone watching this, stop at 4 ways when power is out & stop lights not working! You never know when someone from the other direction is doing the same thing & it could end up bad! I had a friend who was a passenger that was killed in the same situation as the driver thought it was so early & after a storm. You never know! Please be safe & thank you for your videos!

    São Paulo, on the night of this Friday (11) strong gusts of wind were recorded in several regions of the state, in addition to a lot of rain. The highest speed recorded was in the South Zone of the capital of São Paulo, where the winds reached 107 km/h (66.4867). We were desperate.
    Imagine a class 1 hurricane of 119 km/h (73.9432) in Brazil.

    I have subscribed for a while now and enjoy your content. Kind suggestion here (as PI) when you video to capture a scene remember NOT to pan/scan the area so fast. The audience gets dizzy and can't see anything. Also, when you come to a new area, show zoom out so we get the whole context and then zoom in. again slowly. For the most part it appears that you try to do that..but boy, please try to improve on that. Thanks Alfred.

    My prayers for all those who have some or any loss during Hurricane Milton... Good job getting the word out. But...The trees still have leaves on them and the tree bark is still attached to the trees..Also the lawn grass is still attached to ground. Obviously he has never seen the aftermath of a Cat 5 in the Caribbean like in the lesser Antilles or Puerto Rico. We got lucky with Milton. Cat 5's in the Caribbean don't lose strength on landfall because there just isnt enough land to weaken them, so you get a Cat 5 coming in, and a Cat 5 going out. After Hurricane Maria in PR, the most incredible thing I saw was a car shish kabob'd on a telephone pole and the weird thing is that pole was still standing upright.

I said i can help if the owner approved. A man said:"this is my house; but the garage flew in from somewhere; broke the tree landing there.

    I always find it odd when someone looking at the damage caused by a hurricane calls it " unbelievable." What do you expect when you combine high wind, driving rain, storm surge, shifting sand, and possibly tornadoes all mixed together. I visited Florida for the first time in 1961 the summer after hurricane Dona hit Ft. Myers nothing looked like the travel ads. We moved to Ft. Myers Beach in 1966 and while boating around with my best friend we still found pieces of boats and houses stuck in the areas you could only get to by boat. Although I do find the pictures of the damage terrible I am not surprised or shocked by them. After 54 years living in Florida I am happy I moved out of state.
