FINALLY! A drone video showing an aerial view of actual damage. 👌 TY
They have yet to do any power line work in this entire county. Horseshoe beach is Dixie county. 0 homes restored as of right now 27 hours after landfall out of 9000 homes
Shocking images; excellent drone navigation and video editing.
Thanks very much for all of your work on this video!
Thank you
Thx . Great video of the sad state of affairs in that great little town.
I know Horseshoe Beach quite well.
A friend of mine, Donnie Ownby, just accepted the pastorate of First Baptist Church of Horseshoe Beach, FL a few weeks ago. He and his wife moved all of their possessions to the parsonage from their home in Knoxville, TN and were in Knoxville completing the sale of their house this week when the hurricane hit. From what I understand, the church and parsonage were severely damaged or totally destroyed and they lost everything.
Donnie is an older minister like me, in his sixties, and plans to get to Horseshoe Beach as soon as he and his wife can get into the area so they can help the church start over from the disaster.
PLEASE PRAY FOR THIS COUPLE AND THEIR CHURCH AS THEY TRY TO REBUILD THEIR LIVES AND THE CHURCH!! And pray for ALL of the people of Horseshoe Beach and the surrounding areas as they try to put their lives back together. I know Carol and I will be praying and seeing what we can do to help.
My wife and I lived thru Rita and Ike (and a few others) while living in Orange, TX and personally know what it is like.
Why do people in tropical areas build these metal carports and sheds...they seem very flimsy.
"Man belongs to the EARTH .EARTH does NOT BELONG TO MAN"! Chief Seattle Wise words!
So do REICH WING EVANGELICAL CHRISTIAN MAGATS still DENY Climate Change? DENIAL- It's not just a river in EGYPT! IMHO! 🤔🇩🇪🇨🇭🇺🇲💙🌊💙🌊💙🌊💙🌊💙🌊
@@daren7889 sad statement from a heathen idol worshipper, the bible says the earth belongs to God and he gave it to man to be inhibited, nowhere however does it say to build on sand quite the opposite as a matter of fact
@@bluefishbeagle1 LOL! I am not a an Idol Worshiper but you probably are, since you worship the "Orange Jesus", the "Chosen One", 45 or as I call him the False Prophet ! Must be nice to be so certain that you claim to know the will of GOD ! And FYI, the Bible was written by man and changed depending upon your politics to reinforce your beliefs! IMHO! And in the words of Jesus Christ " Go in peace to love and serve GOD"! Or are you one of those REICH WING EVANGELICAL CHRISTIAN MAGATS who believes that Jesus was too LIBERAL????? 🤔🤔🤔🇩🇪🇨🇭🇺🇲💚💙🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊✝️✡️☪️
My thoughts are with everyone in the hurricane area. I got more out of your drone video than another guy talking to people about the hurricane This must be a nightmare for the people in those areas
No one forces them to build on the beach, plenty of land inland
I used to rent a little house there years ago and there's many that I still recognize. But the devastation is bad. Back in the mid 90 the house we rented had to be gutted and remodeled after the storm surge flooded everything except the ones on stilts. I'd imagine it's a similar situation this time.
Notice how homes built on stilts and permitted as required are relatively fine when compared to old construction.
Not 100% true
@@dannymbass Mold, dry rot, wind damage, etc?
@@py_a_thon I went through 2 in Lake Charles La in 2020 (delta and Laura). The water inside our home cost was much greater than the outside wind damage
Notice homes in this video on stilts totally demolished.
@@SterlingStudios💯😖
So sad to see people lose there homes 😢. Thank you Brandon for your unmatchable skills with your drone. I appreciate your work and showing us the results of a hurricane. 🫶
many mostly all stilts homes made it pretty well and some random homes in between are blown out. Its like some Tornados came through.
Great Drone Footage as Always ! They make a huge diffrence in Storm Damage surveys
Thank you for showing this. I spotted our waterfront home from my childhood. Very memorable to see this.
Current building restrictions in flood zone areas have to be met when rebuilding after a hurricane. People in our county (Citrus) cannot obtain affordable flood insurance unless they are on a five foot berm or up on stilts. All these homes that were destroyed unfortunately had a long life than expected these days. Feel awful for all these residents.
Thank you so much for the drone footage ,we could see our friends house,at 1:46min.,center pic., Is fine,thanks again & keep droning!!!!😁
What is striking to me is that all houses (well the majority) that has been built on piles are still standing. The majority of the houses built on bare ground is mostly gone. I think the code will change for building houses near hurricane prone areas in the future. All my thought and prayers to all affected by Idalia, so sorry for those who lost their homes and businesses. It is heartbreaking. One thing i know is that you Americans never give up, you rice again and brusch off the dust and have fate that the future will be a good place. Bless you all.
the code was changed many years ago. the structures you see standing are build to current code. the old ones were built before the code changed.
source: I survived Hurricane Andrew
@@gator347The building codes are changed/improved every three years, things are learned after each and every storm
@@gator347 They've known for 70 years what happens to ground during a hurricane that close to sea level. The problem is, footers are only dug to 'frost line' specifications. Other factors aren't considered. Nor are concrete blocks adequate material in a hurricane zone. Deep footers would be just as effective as stilts, especially the entire foundation wall was solid concrete. But FL allows footers of only 16" depth at 24" wide. MADNESS!!!
You can build a concrete bunker, it is still prone to flooding ... WE are on a sponge @@crforfreedom7407
water does the most damage
This is certainly a strong case for a house built on stilts. Apparently, these houses-on-sticks can withstand the brunt and brutal forces of hurricane-strength winds as well....apparently.
Stilt house allows straight line winds to go under as well as the water. Not all stilt homes could withstand this but with building codes it sure helps
Thanks for showing us this !!😮😢
Lucky to have a fast storm. GL to everyone.
Such pain and sadness depicted. So very sorry for these folks.
With all in the news about Idalia, seniors including us who rely on their home equity for financial stability might have faced some challenges if their homes were affected. Ian was bad not to us, we were impacted this time and to a large extent. Now we can relocate.
Absolutely, even if their homes weren't directly hit, the economic fallout from the hurricane could have ripple effects on property values, which could impact their home equity.
That's a valid point. If the local housing market takes a hit due to the hurricane, it could affect property values and subsequently impact seniors' home equity. This could impact their retirement plans.
I also wonder if insurance coverage plays a role here. Seniors like you who were affected might rely on insurance to cover repairs, but the extent of coverage could vary and potentially impact their ability to tap into their home equity.
Coupled with the emotional toll of dealing with a natural disaster like this could impact other seniors' decision-making. They might be hesitant to make major financial decisions, including leveraging their home equity.
I agree. Having a strong support network, including financial advisors who understand these challenges, can be invaluable during times like this.
.......-------******* THANKS FOR THE GREAT FOOTAGE ********---------...........
I truly feel for these people who live in surge areas. As pointed out by others, having a house on stilts is what saved so many houses. How did the contractors get a permit to build on concrete slabs in a known surge/flooding zone is beyond me.
Foolish man that builds his house on the sand.
most of the houses were built in horseshoe back in the 60s and 70s
And four-foot tall concrete block pillars/stilts are just wishful thinking!
@@markhicks8377In the US, there are still many, many people who think that a building code is unecessary. "Let me do whatever I want", they say. "I know better than the experts", they say. "Any regulation is bad", they say.
So this happens. Because, guess what. Even in the 60s and in the 70s, this place was proned to surge. Nothing has really changed. There will just be more storms and the storms won't be softer. And there will still be people who go back there and rebuild. Because they've been taught since a young age that Americans can conquer Nature. I guess Americans cannot conquer 4 meters of water being pushed onshore from the sea by a category 3 hurricane during an EWRC with a full moon tide. Who would've known?
Many older homes were grandfathered in when the new storm codes were created. You can bet the insurers won't pay for or let them build in those spots again without stilts. A friend in Pensacola got flooded by a storm 3-4 years ago and the insurer would only cover rebuilding IF HE PAID FOR THE STILTS / Elevations.
T Y for the drone footage. I send prayers to everyone effected!
Those metal roofs are tough!
Wow, I am surprised there was not more damage 😮.
You must be blind. This video shows EXTENSIVE severe damage that will take years to rebuild.
We have a condo there and just spent 2 days cleaning up. You have to see if yourself to understand. We are in a state of shock. So sad. ❤ horseshoe
I'll never understand how people can afford to keep rebuilding their homes every year like this.
If I lived near the water in Florida I would have my house built on stilts.
I am wondering if the occasional patches of total destruction is from tornadoes.
While I am sorry for everyone’s loss, that was a great before and after video.
just sooo sad - - I feel for alll those devastated by that hurricane - - just horrific - hope the loss of life isn't tooo many......but even one is too many.......
Very well done. Thanks for sharing!
Clean-up time. Q: How far can this drone be from its controller?
Thank you for documenting these disasters. I've been through several hurricanes and worked relief for several others. My heart breaks for those people who barely escaped with only their lives. In my personal post storm observations, it appears that "new construction" seems to sustain much less damage than "old construction". Some of those older buildings don't even exist anymore. I know that my local building codes where I used to live on FL East Coast, were completely revamped after 2004 when we got hit with Francis and Jeanne within a matter of weeks.
Ty for the excellent video. Lots of misinformation from media and keyboard commandoes. This video straightens a lot of this out. My house is clearly pictured several times and went unscathed. Thanks again.
Thank you for this drone footage I was able to see a family friends house luckily is still standing.
Hugs and prayers to you all from Saskatoon Saskatchewan Canada. It breaks are hearts for you,
Idea? Is it possible to set a drone to a specific path pre storms and then do same path after?
Yes that's possible with many drones. Just program some waypoints and the drone flies it automatically. This can be saved and the exact path can be flown as many times as you like.
Mother Nature sure has a bad temper!!
Thats my Dads dock next to the 2 slabs (which use to be nice houses)@11:47, his Condo is above the pool across the street. Breaks my heart looking at all the damage Horseshoe suffered, its one of my favorite places to hang out.
You do a great job on showing us the good and bad areas , its a beautiful place but every year the threat of a storm would be enough to keep me away
ruclips.net/video/coVMfrViiV0/видео.html
Why would you want to risk it all by living in Florida? Very beautiful but to much of a bullseye for hurricanes. Praying for everyone.
That is the reason why Carol and I left Orange County, TX almost a decade ago---after 5 hurricanes, I had all of it I could stomach.
Thank you for sharing florida. I prayer for people homes sad.
I am heartbroken to see all of the devastation that happened there. It especially hurts to see only the foundation of the Dolphin House remaining. Prayers for that whole community.
Thank you so much for your efforts on this video. This just breaks my heart...I know the town well and this will set the community back quite a bit. They are resilient folks though...old Florida. Cleaning up the debris will take all winter with a LOT of trackhoes and dump trucks. I would imagine that most of the people who owned the mobile homes and 1950s structures did not have insurance. They are all in my thoughts. Again, thank you so much for this condition update. Your piloting skills are sweet!
I wish you could slow your drone down and fly closer to the ground, hard to see details. Thanks for flying.
What do you expect living on the Gulf of Mexico where you know that it can be destroyed by a hurricane every year.
imagine this being a Cat 4+ and lasting for 10 hours!!! that's what Hurricane Ian did so even houses on built on pilings were gone, not just damaged but gone and for miles! not saying this isn't horrible because it is and I feel sad for those that lost it all. Time to Get a Governor that can fix the insurance problems because many people up the coast will now see that they will be either dropped or their rates will skyrocket. taxes also.
I’m always amazed at why people choose to live in these areas that continually get hit with hurricanes. I will never understand it,
Look like a war zone! Continued prayers🙏🙏🙏
These storms will comer every year, regardless!
Wow!
Note the fishing boat with both anchors out, not damaged. Housed the were built before the first floor elevation was above surge stage was require.
I saw that as well🎉
No one has to justify still certain Stilton, how old they are the storm a tragedy, no matter what my heart goes out to you people
i didnt realize how frigile those beautiful old houses were.
I feel terrible for everyone in the destructive path of that hurricane. Katrina was far worse.
Katrina was only worse due to a corrupt city government that didn't utilize funding that was earmarked for protecting the city from catastrophic flooding. It's interesting that the surrounding areas faired much better even though some of those areas took a more direct hit than New Orleans did. It was a tragedy, but also a media hit piece aimed to protect local politicians (D) and hurt Bush (R).
It’s beautiful to live near the coast in any part of Florida but it sure isn’t worth the price …
Right, any part of Florida where the sand looks like mud, and the water looks like black contaminated waste.
@@karkule5919 🤣🤣🤣
@11:25 the boat house is pretty cool
I would take insurance money and leave. Not rebuild. Goodbye ....
It is all stolen land!
@@melaniehale5382: Hurricanes will be knocking on wood for years to come!
Insurance is leaving and not paying out.
@@MelBelle55 State Farm has not pulled out of Florida. I think they are pulling out of California.
It’s heartbreaking to see so much destruction. 😢 I hope everyone was insured and can rebuild soon. So sorry to all who went thru this. 🙏
Prayers for Speedy Recovery 🙏😢
I feel your pain. This was us after Hurricane Ian a year ago 😢
Prayers for yall
So sad... so sad for the lost livelihoods, lost treasured items, broken families, injuries and deaths. I hope we can learn from these disasters.
You see a building with roof and walls. You think it is ok. If water was inside, the mold is already starting in the walls. The wiring is starting to corrode, the floors warp, and the foundation may be compromised. Hidden damage may mean it is a tear down.
Would like to see a home, on stilts, with a reverse wing roof design. Instead of causing lift, it would push down in the winds.
Sending prayers to all
Yeah that’ll help. Because God is waiting on prayers before helping anyone
Question to: The National Hurricane CENTER How do they name those hurricanes by the way????????last year it was named Ian, this year - Idalia - WHO name them all ????
Thirty years ago we thought a river front property would make a nice house lot. After the first flood we experienced we couldn't wait to sell the place. I have never had any desire to live close to any water source and I stay as far away as possible.
Someone needs to give a free seminar on tying your boats down securely...and how to construct a sturdy dock.
The Great Waves of Change are here
One of my favorite places to go scalloping. Hopefully the little Marina that's there did alright
Well done to those well built stilt homes. Those people have seen a few hurricanes. This hurricane hit during a king tide so yea a full moon.
Newer constructed homes on stilts are hardly damaged, looks like older poorer constructed structures blew apart.
Seems houses up 8ft & higher did well except for some roof wind damage -
Heartbreaking 😢
4:28 Notice how there is no sign of pile attachment on the left top or bottom. (Pile on slab with no doweling or through bolting) Notice on the right the driven pile with all the gussets. More obvious at 6:58. Choose your General Contractors and your A/E firms wisely.
WIPED OUT!! PARADISE LOST///
Tempting mother nature, when you build on any Florida coast or on any barrier island; eventually a cat 5 will get your house, even ones on stilts. Except for those dome houses. They can take about any wind or surge..
The desturction pulls on the heart strings bad.
I stayed there at El Sea's fish camp about seven or eight years ago Elsie and Danny were wonderful I was there for two days and I just saw the property from the drone it looks pretty bad I'm heartbroken
I hope all the people that said it was just a big rain storm , see this
Wow! Unbelievable what Mother Nature can do in one day! So very sad. I;m so sorry for all who lost so much! I have not heard about the death toll but I hope noone died in this.
Brandon, do you know a guy called Jonathan Petramala? He uses you footage on you tube..
My home town.
I’m so sorry Horseshoe Beach. Fort Myers /Lee County feels your pain! It will look better a year from now. Investors will swoop in, and building codes change. Unfortunately, it won’t be the same place, but perhaps safer for the buildings.
Heart breaking. After Hurricane Michael I feel for these people. I always thought, well they had insurance. 5 years later I am still fighting the insurance company! I almost wish it had flattened the house. They have a long hard road ahead of them.
😮
Yeah, living next to water could be risky sometimes
looks like a lot of the house on stilts held up?
This is going to be the norm. I would move.
If you have a house to come back to or not, you don't own your land even if you bought it. You rent it your whole life from nature.
This is why I prefer the living in PA with the mountains
No wonder insurance companies are bailing!!
A hurricane during hurricane season, oh my, has this ever happened before, oh my
The grass needed it.
I live 30 miles east of horse shoe beach and still with out power 2.5 days later running on a generator internet tv and light and a fan
Dangg
It's crazy but people will rebuild and move straight back into the same area.
If this is not as bad or worse than Ft Myers area,its dang close to it.
I think Miss daisy already put the 52 Chevy PU in the creek.
If your roofer says "metal roof" get one.
Ya tienen k construir casas concreto
Those heavy concrete houses will sink in the sinkholes 😢
Does anyone know how high the REAL storm surge was?
In Crystal River it was said the storm surge was 25 ft. It went onland as far as eight miles in some area. The springs in the area that are fresh water have mixed with gulf, salt water. If it weren't for the springs I believe the flooding could have gone so much worse, and Crystal River was over 100 miles from where the storm hit.
