#News #Hurricane #Ida
They never learn thats why here in the caribbean the houses are concrete and block
yeah but this is a different type of soil and geography. So learn science.
@TONIE SEDRICK no, they just learned how to extrat oil and gas so you can drive your car and have nice polyethylene so you can have a computer and a cell phone.
@K B i can get technical if you like first of all buiding in flood plains should require pileon supports 8 to 12 feet along with being stilted so dont insult me Im not a kid I have 30 years of building houses all over the world
@JD i know i inspected condos in st petersburg
@Jack Of trades It’s the contractors building the homes. Using the cheapest materials and hardware and meeting code to the bare minimum. Buying any house on the gulf coast you better plan on spending $15k to $20k just to make it safe. I just don’t see how buying any home down there in the hurricane zones can be a good investment, as you are already spending $10k to $20k on just basic move in remodels. That’s upwards to $50k and that’s if you do all the work yourself. The californians fleeing have already made me $80k. I’m gonna double down in the midwest now with the gamble that the Floridians will start to flee. lol.
save the livestock, save the livestock!
Looks like a movie
when people stay they have the assumption that when the storm passes even if theirs damage their will still be general means of communication, and the ability to travel…. and thats mostly far from the truth. Power and electricity goes down, even if its up it will likely go down by measure of safety until the, electrical grid is looked over and repaired. Then theirs flood water. No means of basic hygean utilities such as use of a bathroom. Its all the things that you dont think about which are the very reasons to never stay during a truly major storm.
Praise Jesus , savior and protector of all.
Psst, they stayed in their homes on that little island… DONT save them… let them wait…
I’m sure they all have good insurance.
Jesus Christ saves from sin.
Romans 3: 23
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Hebrews 9: 27
And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
Isaiah 64: 6
But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.
Revelation 21: 8
But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
Romans 5: 8
But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
John 3: 16
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
John 14: 6
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Romans 10: 9-10.
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
Jesus said John 5: 24
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
1John 5: 10-13
He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son.
And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.
These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.
Ephesians 2: 8-9
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Romans 8: 1
There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
1 Corinthians 15: 3-4
For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
2 Corinthians 5: 21
For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

Have a God blessed evening.
God Bless the Rescue teams!
Can’t they build their buildings better because that’s just a normal British weather without the tornado or hurricane
You said without the Hurricane. This is a Hurricane, which is a lot different from the weather you’re describing. Plus, a lot of the people in New Orleans are probably poor, so they don’t have the budget for something like that.
No. Unless you’ve been there and understand exactly how it benefits you…I’d pull back on comments.
Louisiana has been trying to relocate those residence for years and they have refused every offer. It is well known that it’s sinking and one day the water will no longer recede. That day may be today.
Sad thing is there was new construction going on of $500k homes and now everything is gone.
@Rooster 101
Living below sea level these days is stupid, dont you think? 😁 unless u think climate change is fake news
Actually, I live 10 feet above sea level here. But thanks climate expert.
@C.A. WHODAT
U welcome, stay safe
@C.A. WHODAT Not anymore lol
Hope this humbles people, Mother Nature is no joke.

Neither is harp
Amen 🤍❤️👁️👁️🙏🙏🙏🙏
Please Lord!, Begging your Forgiveness… It’s not President Biden’s Fault in Afghanistan…By not having a chance of a meaningful Transition from the previous Administration…All The President and American people can do are just praying for the safety of every mankind with the best possible outcome for our planet…God Bless America…
Wow, an actual sane person.
The destruction is amazing. 😬
@Vogel Vogeltje I’d argue bad word choice. Shocking would probably be a better word, since amazing usually has positive implications.
@Vogel Vogeltje
Maga country 😁 climate change is a hoax yall
@SpiritofChaos
Its all a HOAX 😁 maga
1:11 -Is it really necessary to stand in the water when you can simply stand on the dry road?
https://youtu.be/zFJ2AN_CZH8
I INSIST they stand in the water or I’m changing the channel.
@Khal of Khals It’s like they think we won’t believe there’s flooding unless we see them in the water.
He said that the road and town was still under several feet of water but the water only came up to his ankles 🤔
@Dead Ringer no it isn’t. No telling what’s in that water
Just got Arial photos of where my dad’s fishing camp on the cherniere and all the camps wiped out. Gone washed out into the bay behind it. Th eye wall had them camps for dinner. So sad😭😭😭😭😭
You all need to move to phoenix Arizona
… and bring your own water
WHY IS THIS HAPPENING BCZ NEW ORLEANS IS KNOWN FOR THERE WITCHCRAFT OF A STATE.
THE LORD IS NOT HAPPY AGAIN WITH THAT CITY! ALL BETTER REPENT NOW/START PRAYING!
GODBLESS YOU ALL†
🤔😬😳😓👼🏻
HOW IRONIC IS IT THAT BY COINCIDENTALLY THIS HURRICANE IS HITTING AGAIN THE SAME EXACT DAY SINCE LAST ONE (KATRINA) ¿
READ THE SIGNS PPL:: REPENT!💁🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️💯
💔💔💔
Send in drones to see what is all there and map a way to get them out.
Intelligent and practical advice.

They can wait for the jesus or do it themselves
Good night Mr. Lester Holt and team, job well done.
frikin Miguel really?!?
For libs like me brown eye play is always an option 👁👁
*The Lord’s coming*
Birthing pains before his return.
Stop building in swamps and marshes and in hurricane country. You’re asking for it.
😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲
I wanna marry u sweet heart
Exactly
Biden’s hands are stained with American blood, and he is not qualified to be president.
Those who voted for Biden also had their hands stained with American blood. It is true that things are gathered by kind,
and people are divided by groups. Yesterday I saw the remains of the dead soldiers on the plane. I cried.
I really feel distressed because they are so young. I am also a father,
and I can imagine how sad the families of these 14 soldiers should be.
Twenty years ago, these soldiers were either just born or just went to kindergarten,
but they (them) have to remember this problem left over from the war.
It’s not fair! Obama is the culprit, and he should be held responsible.
All Americans, especially those who lost their children because of Biden’s incompetence,
should retaliate with Biden’s own words: We will not forgive! We will not forget! We will retaliate!
—Biden should kneel down to apologize to the American people!
Floyd received 27 million compensation.
Biden Pelosi knelt down and 14 heroes sacrificed.
How did the Biden government explain to the people?
Why don’t they build houses made of concrete, that is solid foundation.
Stick framing is cheaper, here in Florida most of our homes are concrete block construction.
You can’t fight the changes of the Earth. My prayers go out to all.
You know that they can create something like this Hurricane?
They can’t leave ! I would leave this area permanently. These poor people. And this happens a lot. Move north.
No they could leave act was told it was a mandatory evacuation but they chose to stay like they do every storm and like they’ll do for many more storms to come.
LOUSIANA RESIDENTS – PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT YOU PREPARE AND DO WHAT YOU NEED TO DO TO BE SAFE AND TO PROTECT YOUR FAMILY BECAUSE IF OUR MORON PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN HAS TO MAKE A DECISION DURING THIS HURRICANE, THERE WILL BE TONS OF CASUALTIES JUST LIKE WHAT HAPPENED IN AFGHANISTAN. DON’T DEPEND ON OUR GOVERNMENT TO TAKE CARE OF THINGS. DO THE THINGS THAT YOU KNOW WILL WORK AND WILL PROTECT YOU DURING THIS VERY DIFFICULT PERIOD. WE ALL HOPE YOU CAN GET BACK TO NORMAL AFTER THIS HORRIBLE HARD HURRICANE. GOD BLESS…
They tried to warn ppl but they didn’t believe and stayed. “Oh it won’t be bad”.
🙏🙏😥😥😥outvplanet
By the end of this year’s hurricane season Louisiana’s shoreline will have to be remapped.
S

That satellite image you trying to compare is before the storm hit and during with 12ft surge covering the island. Don’t mislead everyone check modis one week from the 29th of Aug when the water goes down.
believing in Jesuchrist you have the salvation and eternal life
pray for your family and the persons . only Jesuchrist save read in the holy bible
Romans 10 : 9 and 10 , St John 14 : 6 , St John 3 : 16
omg
If someone can get me a ticket ill fly out to help fix buildings and other construction lmk
You’re on an island …you don’t leave…then ask for help?
They refused to leave. I wouldn’t stress it too much.
We’re not have place to go !!!
“But the Jews and the Christians say, “We are the children of Allah and His beloved.” Say, “Then why does He punish you for your sins?” Rather, you are human beings from among those He has created. He forgives whom He wills, and He punishes whom He wills. And to Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them, and to Him is the [final] destination.”
Why would you live on a fake, man made island that’s only purpose is to help protect the main land from hurricanes???
Because that’s where your oil and gas comes from. Somebody has to make it.
@K B no it doesn’t
Mudem-se para locais mais seguros, pois está mais a do que visto que esse lugar vai desaparecer! Muita força e coragem para todos os que sofrem estas tempestades!
Well secured with i n t e l l e c t w e b no doubting thanks you are the best term in the world thanks for the payout
What is Biden doing about it?
Nothing like in Afghanistan..

People don’t want to take advice and get out until they’re 10 feet underwater.
Praying for all 🙏🇺🇸🙏💯
The cataclysms that are now taking place in the world are cyclical. And strength, power, constancy will only increase. Many people think that the cases are lonely and temporary, but they are not. People need to understand that unification will help them to survive. More detailed information can be obtained by watching the conference: Global Crisis. This already affects everyone
America leave Ethiopia alone!

If you didn’t evacuate, you wish you did. Can’t play with nature.
Becareful you never know what’s in the water!! You don’t want more problems 🤩🙏🏽
“like being in a blzzard?” Ok? That makes no sense at all…
All thoughts to those who suffered this terrible hurricane! Take care!
You didn’t listen huh??? He was speaking of his visibility when he said it was “like being in a blizzard.” 🤦🏾♀
Are Biden Democrats this inept?
My Uncle was Commander of the Coast Guard in the 70’s. I remember it well and had many happy and irreplaceable memories. The stories I could tel …..
Please, don’t rebuild, make a nice state park.
It’s industrial land for oil and gas. Do you like to put gas in your car? Thank them.
Or move somewhere else
¡Por Favór Tradúzcan al ESPAÑÓL!!!
I hope all the homeless people are OK. I know how it is going through a hurricane in a tent.
10 years ago there would be a lot of sympathy in these comments. Not anymore. People have to learn that we can’t keep challenging nature. When you’re told to evacuate it’s for a reason. Living in a swampland in this climate is not a joke
Boi got them tight jeans😱
The lord Jesus Christ is coming soon! Everything is getting worse
All my support from Martinique we Know how is hard.
Tout notre soutien depuis la Martinique, nous savons comment c’est eprouvant et douloureux.
Le temps de la reconstruction va être long. Ma résilience et la solidarité doit être le seul mot d’ordre.
Millions missing presumed dead 😢 💔 😔
Million salutes to my awesome mother nature)
It’s just weather. It doesn’t deserve, nor will it accept a salute.
U r in control!!!!!!!🙏🙏🙏👁️🤍❤️
I do hope all can be rescued in Louisiana. With Gods help. Amen.
C’est ce qu’on appelle La Puissance,

@m: They really need to teach better English in your cult because it’s not even clear what you’re talking about.
I detest media people. Every last one. They could care less about any of this.
Horrible. Mother Nature strikes again. Please be and stay safe guys. Much respect.
i ask God to help New Orleans and Lousiana. I ask them to bless the hands of these heros to help these people to safety. No one on Earth deserves to go through this. I ask God to help these people to safety. I am very devestated and sad that this happened. Please continue to pray for these people and if there are any donations please donate and im encouraging this and help these states that got hit bad. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽They need our help.
Why live in an area that gets hit every year? Why not leave knowing u are living in a low lying areas with gators about? Where is common sense?!? Govt should pay off homes to residents, deem the islands uninhabitable.
@echt114 mohmad are devil. Read undersatnding mohmad book. Google download pdf
Being vaccinated or not means nothing. Being vaccinated will not stop death. Cant GB o in restaurants unless you are vaccinated God will destroy it all vaccinated or not means nothing with the power of God.God is going to destroy this whole world one day.
I live in Matthews. The damage is pretty significant and it may takes weeks, but we can rebuild.
Grand Isle however, is a lost cause. The island barrier might never pop up back on the map ever again. 50-60% of all structures there are complete destroyed. The island keeps sinking 1.2 inches every year. It’s done.
Pay attention and Heal Signs of Time 😔🙏🏾🙏🏾
Biden care
Biden dont care about people doing without food water an gas he lives good life
