      Nothing lasts forever except life in Christ alone.
      Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever" is a phrase from the Bible, Hebrews 13:8. The verse conveys the idea that Jesus is reliable and unchanging, and that the things he has said are also reliable. It can also be interpreted as a reminder that Jesus is the one person we can depend on to be the same, regardless of time or circumstance.

      In times like these we need a Savior;
      In times like these we need an anchor.
      Be very sure, be very sure
      Your anchor holds and grips the Solid Rock!
      This Rock is Jesus, yes, He’s the One.
      This Rock is Jesus, the only One!

      Your anchor holds and grips the Solid Rock!

      In times like these O be not idle.

    Amen! Everything you said is correct. People move here and buy lux beach homes and expect that lifestyle. When they don't get what they think they paid for they get outraged. They don't have a clue that this lifestyle is a major risk. You are living at the ocean and weather happens. My house is not beachfront, and I made this decision because I want to keep my family safe. My house was built in 1959, it's not in a gated community but we are safe and still enjoy my home state of Florida. So, we have to drive to the beaches but I am willing to do that! Living in Florida we have hurricanes but in other places you have weather events too. West coast has earthquakes, the south and Midwest have tornadoes and flooding, North has snowstorms and artic freezes. There are risks everywhere you go. Money doesn't buy happiness or entitlement.

So my brain is broken and that's what happens when you have too much trauma. I have videos on my RUclips channel and I watch them and I don't even remember being there but I know I was there because I see my little dog in the stroller. The video and I hear my voice, and yet I can't remember being there. That's what trauma does it messes with your brain? So I really pray for all those people that they don't get messed up brains.

    I really love your message. After Ida in south Louisiana, we had to gut and rebuild over half of our house. We were “lucky” bc we didn’t lose everything. But the amount of frustration and depression that ensued was terrible and it lasted over a year. BUT, it triggered an awakening inside of me. I realized that more than ever, all that really mattered to me in life is peace. I now have a plan to move further inland to something very small and modest and stop stressing about things like a house and possessions. It’s just not worth it. I can’t take it with me anyway. Living in a stud house for months, cooking on a plug in 2 top burner without a kitchen for a year taught me that I really can do with less.

    There’s a lot of plus’s about living in the state of Florida if you are fairly wealthy. If you can afford possibly evacuating yearly or every other year for hurricanes. If you can afford very high and possibly getting higher homeowners insurance. If you have a home also in another state that you can evacuate to when hurricanes strike. And if you can afford to rebuild your house over and over again, after each time it gets flooded out or damaged by storm winds. If you can afford low wages, high cost of living, and high fuel costs. And off and on air conditioner repairs. And you don’t mind every kind of insect and other types of pests. Very hot and humid summers, and year round weekly yard maintenance. Florida is the state for you.

    I left Florida in 1993 after Hurricane Andrew. Not because of the storm itself; my apartment didn't get damaged and my workplace was not damaged (LUCKY!). It was the evacuation. Even then it was horrible. Now I can't even imagine. One evacuation was enough for me! I loved Florida at the time. I lived right across the street from the beach and I was young and having a great time. But the disruption to your life that a hurricane causes even when it doesn't directly hit you was not something I was going to put up with. I was a climate refugee 31 years ago. The term to my knowledge hadn't been coined yet.

    I live in Fort Myers area. After Ian I saw the opposite. I was blown away by how people pulled together. How strangers pitched in to help each other out. The giving nature of things was truly heart warming to the point that it gave me hope. I saw people who weren't road raging because they lost their fabulous couch, but because THEY were beyond the breaking point because their lives had been destroyed, because they were exhausted from the shock of the apocalyptic environment they were surrounded by. I saw strangers to them reach out and comfort them. Hate to say it, but the things you saw may be a reflection of you.

    We considered buying a canal home on Punta Gorda Island a few years ago, but decided against it because of the risk. The barrier islands are do tropical and beautiful when the weather is nice. But when hurricane force winds and storm surges threatened the barrier Islands, living with the.ongoing theat of severe damage or having your property destroyed is not worth it. It's far safer if you live inland about a half hour on higher ground.
    Living with the risk of the storm surges is simply unacceptable for us. When possible 12 or 15 foot storm surges are in the forecast for barrier islands, we feel like we dodged a bullet, choosing to not own a home on a barrier island.

    People will get angry at losing things but everyone that chooses to live in areas that can get hurricanes really have to be able to accept the risks involved. I've lost everything before and over time replaced it all. I'll never let other people ruin my enjoyment of living in FL though. If they want to be angry that's on them. Hurricanes are probably the most destructive force of nature so anyone that wants to live in areas that can get hurricanes really do have to just deal with it and if anyone doesn't want to deal with the risk of hurricanes then FL may not be the state for them.

He had insurance which cover things like furniture appliances etc. the lot is worth 60+ thousand and has no lien. He was planning on replacing his place next spring with a new prefab extreme high winds He already locked in the price for a 2 bedroom and upgrade to a 2 bathroom and car port for 80,000. He Already order 8 steel pilings 16 feet long to be planted 12 feet in the ground. The local ordinance says new construction must be at least 3 feet above ground

Y en 2010 , salió 250.000 dólares. Acá en Argentina 🇦🇷, no podíamos comprar ni muebles de a poco fueron apareciendo.

      Just the flooding alone, forget about the rest of the hurricane damage, is way worse than anything snow can do. Snow typically accumulates slowly, and melts slowly. A hurricane or flood happens in a blink of an eye.

    I understand what you are saying. But, the people that you enjoy being with on your uber drives have multiple homes to choose from and if one is lost in a hurricane they just fly to another home somewhere else until the vacation home is rebuilt. They still have plenty of money and everything else they need so of course they are going to be jovial , carefree and happy. Most people tend to run away from people who are sad and or poor. It takes time to get over a catastrophic loss... Most people get through it but that also can be a time to discover who your real friends are. Some leave them behind and some friends are with you no matter what. Just give people a break. Hardship is new to a lot of them and they are not going to snap back quickly. Some may but that is rare. I believe they will recover, in Florida or somewhere else. They won't be sad forever. They will laugh again. It remains to be seen how the really wealthy ones would behave if they become totally destitute.
