#Storm #Weather #Florida
"I almost couldn't walk, but it was fine" legit such a Floridian thing to say. From one to another 😭
That happen to me when I lived there she ain’t lying 😂
😆
Stay strong 💪🏾
That cracked me up 😂”..but it’s fine.”😂😂😂
@@kalieoutlaw We went to a few beaches too for reports 🫶🏽🇺🇸
When you think hurricane season is over but winter says ALRIGHT EVERYONE!!! IVE GOT DIFFERENT PLANS!!!
Hoping all will be safe.
People are saying it won't be bad, hope that's true.
Seems there's always that oops moment these days. Praying for all's safety.
Lol, this is nothing like a hurricane. It's a winter storm, there isn't millions affected by severe flooding. They're being overly dramatic.
LOL 😂, just another rain storm. But keep pushing that doom and gloom.
its literally not that serious🙄🙄
I mean it's actually raining here!
If only someone 40 years ago had warned us this would happen. . .
Rain? You’re a putz
Yes, this is so tragic. The flooding is so severe we have to live on our roof, except the roof blew away. So now we're all tied to palm trees so we don't blow away. This climate change is really something.
LOL 😂 ,drink some more koolaid.
@@billybrown7953 I mean, large insurance companies pulling out of a state should be a sign to run for the hills, literally.
No it isn't just drove down A1A four miles to get some BBQ. Nothing.
I'm in Sarasota we have a little rain with no winds. It's only parts of the East coast of Florida. The weather people always make a big deal over everything!
MAGAt boomers dont believe in climate change
Same, just got back from downtown Sarasota and the rain was a little annoying but nothing to freak out over. It's always the tourists that get so worked up about the weather.
Venice, 30mph winds and over 2 inch rain since 7am
They use such hyperbolic language. Florida is threatened by rain, wind, flooding, strong currents and tides. I live in central Florida...just not seeing it here, folks.
@@Lonniehands1fr im over here by sarasota springs, feels like a regular storm
It blows hurricanes all winter in Alaska and nobody gets their panties in a twist.
Alaska is extremely sparsely populated, and the topography is rockier. So this is kinda a false equivalency.
@@PaulBroekemeier OK Guam is not sparsely populated and they built concrete and cinder block houses because typhoons blow trees and houses away and if you stand with your head back and mouth open you would drown, but nobody gets their panties in a twist over an ordinary rain storm. Soon Biden will create a Department of Climate Defense, Al Gore managed to monetize it with Cap&Trade, now every Mil.Gov.Sci.Edu scrum sucker is working a 'climate' angle on every hyped-up weather report, crying: "HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF AMERICANS AT RISK OF NEW CLIMATE CATHOLIC!" ☺🤡
Is the storm we didn't get during the summer. Right before Christmas 😮
What about Hurricane Idalia?
Exactly 😭😭
@@WxIxLxLxIxAxMxS That was pretty much a "nothing". Media made it out like an event, but it hit a mostly unpopulated area. Some fishing camps saw some rain, but I didn't get any. I was close too. Some rain would have been appreciated. I was looking forward to it, but was disappointed.
@@cherryjuice9946 look up Perry, Florida. Idalia hit them hard. And I live 20 miles from where it made landfall; homes and local businesses where flooded out
So, a normal Tuesday in Florida.
It hasn't stopped raining for 3 days (since Wednesday)
Rain is a good thing because it helps wash out your gutters and rivers and it waters any crops grown in Florida.
Stay safe.
The only problem I have is 3 days of rain means zero solar production. I'm buying electricity.
Proves that green energy isn't going to save the world
I live in Central Florida and it's just like another regular rainy day and night...😂😂😂...whatever
I’m in Orlando myself. It’s been raining since about two this afternoon and it’s 930 right now. It’s supposed to rain through tomorrow. It’s not unbearable. Hopefully it won’t be.
The, the liquid! It's falling from the skies! Run!!!
Happens in Seattle all the time 😂
I remember something similar to this that happened down in the Naples Florida area back in the late 90s. It was not fun.
Where are those guys in shorts doing the monkey dance in the middle of the road?
I took a walk tonight, but the media wasn't there. I'm not sure if I can still walk on my hands anymore, but i would give it a try just to show the camera there was no storm (as they pretend to be blown away).
Doesn't this happen EVERY YEAR in Florida?
Yes. It rains every year. That's all this is.
We needed the rain. This is a non-event.
If they really wanted to shut down the State, then have a cold snap that drops to the 20's. It's probably been 25 years since that's happened.
Yes
@@cherryjuice9946 Yes, but with a drought and then sudden rain, the soil wont absorb as well and you can get flash flooding. Also a lot of people can underestimate a storm and that causes a whole host of issues, be prepared not scared.
@@PaulBroekemeier We weren't in a drought, but my grass needed the rain anyway. Florida has sandy soil, and it absorbs just fine. I took a drive this morning and didn't see any puddles on the road. A few of the ditches along the road had a little water, but it will all drain before the frogs can lay their eggs.
Hope this is as going to be in gta 6
Lol!!
I live here and it's drizzling 🤣
Something tells me Florida will be okay. This isn’t exactly unprecedented .
But their lack of home insurance is definitely unprecedented!!
@@Emeritus75 that!
@@Emeritus75that.
@@DL-xo7fn that! What?
It’s not that, it’s the fact it’s like having a tropical storm in mid December. None of my neighbors have power.
I wonder how homeowners will survive the hurricane season if this is the off season.
Hi NOT SO BRIGHT
@@billybrown7953 alright hill billy
Prayers for all in Florida my friends an family are there in bartow an jacksonville so y’all be safe an I love you all
Climate change is coming for us all, red and blue, unfair as it is
Beautiful...
I'm as shocked as anybody that a major storm is hitting florida, next thing you know you're going to be telling me that there's alligators in the local swimming pool
Florida,the swamp state.When I get older and retire,I want to move to Florida and drive slow in the fast lane......NY,NY."The city so nice they named it twice".
In December yes it is strange.
I know! Simply SHOCKING!
There is no major storm hitting Florida. This is just the news media again. I'm sure they'll find a parking lot where there's a few shopping bags over the gutters, and there will be 4" of standing water that will look like a flood. The viewers will think we all drowned, but don't get your hopes up. It's impossible for someone to understand what's really happening simply by watching news that aims to be sensational.
Major storm? This is nothing. You want to shut the State down, drop the temperature down into the 20's. A little wind and rain isn't unusual. Freezing temperatures is.
Floridians gone thru cat 5 hurricanes and we're supposed to be worried about some flash flooding and wind? Smh
Exactly
Be prepared not scared
Looks brutal
This storm was very odd, we are still getting winds here of above average speeds for this time of year.
It looks like y'all are getting the beginning down there, the rest of the East Coast is going to get swamped with this too.
@@PaulBroekemeier ... Seems that way, a friend of mine way further up the east coast said the same exact thing you did just now! Be safe for you and the family.
Way to spread the fear msm! 😢
That's all they do 24/7/365.
@@billybrown7953 Just a friendly reminder 🤣☺️
This could have easily been a hurricane if this was summer season. Anticipate worse weather-wise in the upcoming years for Florida.
This similar thing happened 15 years ago.
It’s what weather does.
So should they not report it because it happened 15 years ago? What’s your point?
o my god that is crazy
"Threatening"😂😂😂😂
We’ll be alright Floridians 🇺🇸🫶🏽
Yes
Im okay with it as my grass was dying
I'm sure they'll keep the Elbow Room open in Fort Lauderdale
Aaahhh, not sure what the heck this report is talking about! I live in the FL panhandle. Absolutely nothing more than a bit of rain this afternoon. Gone now.
It sucks when ppl who are supposed to know geography still persist in thinking FL is just the peninsula.
Sucks to be them!
Be safe.
Was surfing today, finally good waves...
Mihalo bro
Knarly.
as a resident of the Tampa area this storm was severely overrated.although it did rain and blow a little i seen worse thunder storms
Moving to Florida for the weather......🙄
It’s great here. Sometimes it rains. Now I don’t have to water anything or fill the pool.
😂
just paid off my condo here in CA, bought in 2002 for $120k
I am on Tampa and really not that big of à deal.
DeSantis is learning climate change science the hard way.
Hi NOT SO BRIGHT, weather events have been happening long before man walked the earth.
Noted.
So glad I'm not down there anymore. I hope noone gets hurt.
...and once it passes, we have no workers to repair everything. Yay!
💙💙💙
Yeah..,they are off getting useful "College Degrees" in important things like Gender Studies, Leftist Ideology or Critical Race Theory. All HIGHLY i Demand!
dont u have a crap ton of migrants?
@@balancedactguy So just use some reich-winger "manly-man" repair service. Being Flordia, that should be easy enough to find...being that It's a RED STATE! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@sleepycare1509we have our fair share of illegal aliens but they're not allowed to work without a green card so it's not a problem. The ones that are able to work have been working 6 or 7 days a week on new construction. There's new apartment complexes and neighborhoods going up everywhere.
@@balancedactguy When you say things like this, it shows you have likely never stepped foot on a college campus
Now palm trees are "iconic"?
Stay out the waters...the beach is a live sand blaster 😂
Beautiful nature😅 love it
Oh Wow….Fear to keep the masses in Check 😮
Only MAGAs are fear-based to the point of believing an obvious con-man like Demented Donnie.
Idiots that get their news from "The View" believe it.
Did you like the severe flooding they were talking about, and the headline claimed? Then they show cars where water isn't even up to the rims.
If we had a king tide along be with this storm then there would be some minor flooding. But I don't think there's a full moon at the moment.
It's amazing how many brain - washed - 🐑 - there are.
Katrina came-in directly over Hollywood and wasn’t too bad - but Wilma the same year was awful.
And? This isn't a hurricane, it's not even a tropical storm
Hi NOT SO BRIGHT, hurricane Andrew went right over Homestead.
Congratulations!
"If thunder doesn't get you, the 🌩 will"
Truth. 😮
So far no thunder yet. Just wind and rain
(~);}
Always amusing to see these reporters that have to stand outside in the weather elements.
BE SAFE!
Yes, you have to tell those Floridians that. Otherwise, they would have no way in knowing.
Hmmm testing the Blast Wave Accelerator are you??
The weather in California and Florida is very unsafe and people living in both states should move out to a better location.
America rain and snow sounds snug and delightful compared to Down Under Its a oven
Thanks for sharing 🙏🏾
Prayers out for those in Florida 🕊️
Since when do 50 mph gusts cause so much damage in Florida? I’ve been in 85 sustained and it didn’t do that much.
That can still down tree limbs and do roof damage
don't live below sea level you're welcome
Necesito más información son Cubana
It's not bad. The normal here in Jacksonville. Praise 5he Lord 🙏🙏🙏
Tell Ronnie D to go surfing Florida; you would be ahead of the game.
Glad I live in AZ, we just have forest fires in the summer and lots of snow in the winter.
snow in AZ??!!
@@jenn26134yep. Up in Flagstaff
@@jenn26134 Oh yeah! I have seen many videos of it! Funny to picture, but it is true! Remember there are mountains there too!
Horrible oh no
How good does battery electric cars last in water
They don't. If we really did have flooding, then the EVs start bursting into flames days afterwards.
Hope GTA6 make this part of their weather system
Florida is such Paradise!!
Hurricanes, sinkholes, and DeSantis!
Then don’t come
DeSantis is term limited and will soon expire. Maybe you could offer him a job in your state.
Says the ABCXYZLBG 🌈 community member. LOL 😂
@billybrown7953
I don't hate on them, but I'm more of a MAN than little billy. Grow up!!
@@FishFace1776-mi7ce I highly doubt it. LOL 😂
Its not bad in nw fla.
Its been raining all day💦💦💦💦💦
Poor wildlife, keep nature safe
It's a much needed rainfall for the wildlife after such a dry summer.
You can really live a free life in Florida. Every year few storms, you never know when you will get flooded and what what all is gona cost you.
We always flood in Florida. Its nothing like the news is saying. ❤
Thank you Jesus 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Less than 4" of water on the road shouldn't even be considered flooding
Jose loves any chance to use his Spanish.
Now?
Its raining its florida go figure
The real question is where is Florida Man proudly swinging the American flag, while playing air guitar to Freebird?
He's probably surfing is my guess. They're out there catching some decent waves
Millions at risk of flooding. Then you show cars in less than 4" of water. Oooh so scary. I live in Florida. The wind blows, and some palm fronds fall from the trees, and it's rained for 3 days off and on. It's a winter storm. People aren't dying from the flooding.lol.
Now let's talk about what 3 days of no sun does to a solar system. I've been buying all my power for the last 2 days from the grid because it's been an raining. How is solar supposed to save the world when it rains sometimes?
At least the gators will have some clean water.
This is a normal afternoon storm in Florida.
It's all good we're used to this in Florida this is a normal thunder storms for us we get category 5 hurricanes here lol this thing is just a joke
It's been 31 year's since the last Cat 5 hurricane. I'm still waiting since every year they tell us that hurricanes are becoming more intense and more frequent. I don't think 31 years qualifies as more frequent though. Heaven forbid when we do get one, the climate freaks will finally be able to say, We told you so.
We have learned not to expect much from nbc.....and we never get much.
There goes the $10k insurance premium. Now it'll be $15k. But everyone's paying the price in high insurance premiums not just Floridians. The difference? Floridians get sunshine and living in million dollar homes by the beach while many of us live in run down homes in the freezing cold.
So
Gta 6 graphics are insane fr
Fort Lauderdale is ok. A lot of rain and now clear skie
End of the world again according to the news.
Semoga yang mahakuasa melindungi hambanya 🙏. Semoga keadaannya cepat pulih kembali semula 🙏. Semoga tidak ada korban jiwa dalam bancana alam ini 🙏. Ini video kami file untuk pelajaran bagi kami yang tinggal dekat 4 gunung dan dekat 3 Danau dan dekat 2 sungai besar dipelosok Desa di Bali Indonesia
Good….
The girl at :15 usually has thin straight hair. That's how windy it was. 😉👍
Pay what you owe.
Who cares
Isn’t it the season for it?
No, typically this isn't our rainy season, but this isn't unusual.
It was super windy just look at my hair...😊
Exactly Bad hair day; My hat blew off. The Travesty. LOL.
As long as the Pelosis and Newsom are safe, all is good….who cares about the peasants??
Wasted my time
May GOD protect them...
♥️
This is nothing
God's sitting on the beach sipping margaritas at the moment.
😮
Wait until Christmas week..
❤ Thank you! For your hard work in keeping us aware of what is current..always turn to you 1st. ❤😊
TRUMP 2024
No wonder why Ron desantis wears the high boots. We don't want to lose the meatball.
