Louisiana Still Debilitated From Hurricane Ida
Why move back?
cuz im poor. I cant just uproot my job and life and move somewhere else.
My mother-in-laws words the day after she was rescued, against her will, from Lafitte and we asked her to come live with us, “I was born here. I’m going to die here.” 🤦🏻♀️ My grandmother used to say the same thing. It is their way.
@Rip Peronis ok enjoy the weather.
@Ahavah Reaper ok enjoy the weather.
@Mike K By the way, the evacuees have not moved away and so aren’t moving back, they just left temporarily and are going home. So, your question should be “Why not move away from there?” Which someone could then ask, “To where?” One side of the country is experiencing drought and fires, the other side flooding, the middle often has tornadoes, the north snow storms, and the south heat. Every place has its issues, it’s not about moving to some place safer or with better weather, it’s just what a person is willing to live with. I’ve seen multiple people that moved to South Louisiana from elsewhere and went through this hurricane that have commented that they’ll take a hurricane over a snow storm any day. So, enjoy the weather yourself.
There is no time to focus on Americans . We must keep allowing migrants through are Southern Border and flying in Afghanis . Americans last !
Biden 2024
Yeah must be the emigrants fault, couldn’t be out of control capitalism that continually puts profit above people, or all their bought and paid for reps in government.
@Chris Jelley Yes , those are the globalist , the ones funding the politicians to increase Immigration , helps to keep the wages low with a surplus of cheap workers . Tax payers pay for the health care , education , subsidized housing , welfare etc. The liberal elites , corporations get off the hook on those things and stick us with the bill . Those corporations and Wall Street funded Biden , and now we are being flooded while millions of Americans live in poverty .
Anything to distract from Biden’s spineless incompetence in Afghanistan and here at home.
Lol because nature cares about the news cycle. And people wonder why America is at the bottom of education in developed countries. xD
@Kurai Abernathe
Wonder no more. There are trolls like him who would rather sit around making stupid baseless accusations than get a real job and contribute to society.
How quickly some people forget, if they even knew, that it was the former guy who negotiated with the Taliban for our withdrawal and left no play book for doing so, and now gets on whatever media that will put him on and places all the blame on the president.
@John David Wolf It isn’t that they have forgotten, it is that if it isn’t their guy doing it, it is done wrong. If Biden had signed a peace treaty with the Taliban they would have lost their minds, but since their guy did it, it was okay. That is just how they operate, they are in essence, a cult.
Yeah its Biden’s fault for attacking Afghanistan instead of Saudi Arabi where nearly ALL of the 911 attackers came from.
It’s time for us Democrats to start taking responsibility for Biden’s spineless incompetence. We need to stop acting like school ground children pointing fingers!
Incompetency for not stopping a hurricane? Or for not doing more to prevent the climate change that created this hurricane?
@Kurai Abernathe maybe Trump can get one of sharpies and draw the hurricane away.
@Julian Shapiro too late for that Dumbo.
@Lefty Loser too late for that Dumbo? Too late for that Dumbo? I just wanted to point it out about the Sharpie because Trump and his supporters live on Fantasy Island. They believe in the deep state and QAnon which people who believe in that are really uneducated and pathetic.
@Lefty Loser Lefty Loser were did u go!?!?!?!? Hello.
Taliban thanks Biden for leaving behind billions of dollars worth of equipment, weapons and ammunition. Aloha snacbar
Lol i love how liden biden showedup for a photo op . Near a tree.
https://youtu.be/urH_-Zl4Yws
What about Americans stranded in Afghanistan that are getting hunted down???
I’ll grab my ankles whenever a lib is around 😲
@John Yost what is your problem?
@Hayward Robinson well Louisiana does have a Democratic governor. Gov. John Bel Edwards is his name. The Louisiana State Legislature is sadly controlled by the Republicans.
@Mike Jones I’m Jewish as you know.
Like most libs, bleaching my brown eye 👁 is more important than the truth.
NBC dumbs down their stories more gooder so libs like me can understand 🤪
Is there anyway they could just get some battery operated generators of some kind to give people some power? Is that possible?
That’s why there are long gas lines
I have relatives in Baton Rouge who were told they won’t have electricity for 4 weeks.
https://youtu.be/zFJ2AN_CZH8
Sure, its possible, its possible for Fema to come in, set up HUGE generators, make areas that are cooling areas, set up trailer cities, but cant run power when you have that many half houses and houses underwater, they would all catch fire. Of course tho FEMA is following the Katrina model of..do nothing, 1/2 of those covid carriers will die, no great loss. That’s how they think.
Decentralize the power grid. Imagine if power were generated at the point of use: no grid to maintain, oh but the the utility companies couldn’t make their money. Instead we are trying to run the 21st century with 19th century technology.
I’m reading posts from people in these devastated areas that have spent hours on hold trying to call the FEMA numbers they have been given only to be hung up on. Something is wrong with this picture. Where is FEMA? Why are they not set up to process peoples needs? Where are the FEMA sites handing out food and water? People with no power using what little phone battery power they have spending 2 hours on hold only to be hung up on. Not OK.
WTF America this is NOT acceptable. No food or water where’s all those tax $ we spend on the military, for that matter where’s the f%=ing military? Amazing we can spend trillions on 20 yrs of war but when our citizens need help, nada.
@Angie V actually we are on the way down there Tues, would have been there last week but our super was in quarantine. I’ve actually worked several hurricanes, was in Huston for three weeks for the ice storm and numerous tornado outbreaks so I do “know what I’m talking about”. The bigger question is why we continue to build and rebuild major cities in flood plains. How many lives lost does it take to get the message?
@Alana Weaver Raytheon and Lockheed etc only make money when the military is blowing things up.
@Mark Trinidad way past angry.
Biden is too busy arming terrorists and giving them their own country.
Why didn’t she go get her mother? Oh but it’s their fault?
Right
WHY DIDNT YOU GO GET YOUR MOTHER THROUGH THE STORM .
I know right!
WHERE ARE THE DEMOCRATS YOU VOTED FOR.WE DO NOT SEE THEM ADRESSING PEOPLES CALL FOR HELP.ALL THE WORLD NOTES IS BIDEN ,HARRIS AND NANCY SITTING AROUND DOING NOTHING.AMERICA HAS HIT ROCK BOTTOM SINCE THE DEMOCRATS TOOK POWER,AND IT LOOKS LIKE WORSE IS STILL TO COME.UNBELEIVABLE AND TOTALLY PATHETIC.
my whole shack is gone.
Are you making fun of them?
@Julian Shapiro Yes I believe Brooke was making fun of them but needs to be careful because what goes around comes around.
@Patricia well, it’s true what comes around goes around. Also, we all learn as time goes by. I’m worried about our country. Anyways, you have a pleasant evening Patricia and God bless.
they were barely alive anyway.
HORRIFIC
JHC it takes more than a week to recover from a category 4 hurricane 🌀
Post hurricane, the electric utility had given an estimate of 3 weeks. From experience, you can double whatever they say just for clarity.
So how many hurricanes have hit the Gulf in the last 100 years? Our government is so broken.
@Chris Jelley They’re not broken yet, just morally twisted. It’s the earth’s biosphere that’s been damaged.
This is so sad but hey at least Trump ain’t there to throw paper towels at them.
@Mike Jones haben sie gut geschlafen.
@Mike Jones video after video what could it mean? I’m going to sleep.
If you build your house on the rim of a volcano you are going to get burned.
no doubt, it’s sad but , did someone not think it would happen again, its just the American way to be denialistic
@S Wilky they just make a career of being a victim and demanding govt assistance from food to healthcare to shelter. it never ends
@BIG BEEF thats right, it’s sad
BIG BEEF Where do you live that never has disasters?
It begs the question, should some of these areas be reinhabited if these storms are going to be more commonplace?
Exactly.
https://youtu.be/lo6ZCiUZ3Ew
Definitely not Grand Isle. Duh
🇺🇲 doesn’t care they rather help Afghanistan 😂😂😂😂😂😂🤦🏿♂️
So…..
@I am Energy Oh shut up. Preach somewhere else.
really need that infrastructure bill
We really need a FUNCTIONAL government.
Only if it would actually go to infrastructure. Have you read some of the trash they threw into the bill?
It’s just the beginning the worst is jet to come
You believe in climate change?
Just wait until Yellowstone erupts
That’s terrible
Biden just “building back better”
Well, Ben that’s what I would hope we would be doing….building back better. President Biden I know is better at building stuff than Trump. I mean look at Trump’s border Wall it’s falling apart lol.
@Mike Jones I’m Jewish.
@Julian Shapiro The cognitive dissonance is strong with this one!
I dont understand they can other countries but can help our people
Lisette You are leaving out a lot of important words that would make it an understandable idea.
It’s tough but they literally live in a place that floods every year
i see what you mean, but homes dont flood every year. also the same storm flooded major cities in the northeast.
@Rip Peronis As you pointed out, this isn’t an isolated storm that just hit the Gulf states and they don’t get this flooding every year. We shouldn’t confuse wall to wall news coverage of every problem everywhere with any specific place having a constant string of disasters.
Place has been trashed since the ice age ended and left it a swamp only suitable for swamp creatures. Get real.
@Tasteapiana Try not to be an ignorant tool your entire life.
@Rip Peronis I’d just like you to focus on the now. Is there anything else you’d like the world to know about yourself or are you satisfied with them knowing that you’re a pathetic troll?
You’re not kidding. New Orleans is full of swamp creatures for sure.
Let them go to Delaware Trooper2 they will Rob them sorry they will help them
PEOPLE OF GOD IF YOU ARE READING THIS THE LORD IS TRYING TO GET YOUR UNDIVIDED ATTENTION HE’S GIVING YOU ANOTHER CHANCE TO REPENT AND SAVE YOUR SOUL!!!
Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner, and I ask for Your forgiveness. I believe You died for my sins and rose from the dead. I turn from my sins and invite You to come into my heart and life. I want to trust and follow You as my Lord and Savior.
It was a storm man chill out with you nonsense
Chill out dude you will be ok. Giggity giggity goo!!!!!!
We are AMERICA… why is it soooooo difficult to have a plan in advance to get nursing home residents out and help before a storm?!?!?
It is difficult precisely because it is america
@Thas Tayapongsak Troll
Buttercup Baby Remember this is complicated by the Delta variant. Keep your rose thorns sheathed and don’t attack those who need help not criticism.
Ual dnt get it ur government dnt care u see how fast they got them Taliban aka Afghanistan ppl out of their country lol not funny America dnt care especially if affected area lower class ppl dnt matter colour yahweh dnt play u think this is hand of devil no this where keep madigrah worship devil
Because literally most Americans are literally unprepared.
The world is experiencing all the conditions and the many specific events and signs that were biblically recorded signaling the end of the age. Prophecy is about 1/4 of the Bible letting us know what will happen in the future, here is one that helps make sense of this video.
Luke 21:25-28 is a verse spoken of by Jesus that foretold some of the signs and world conditions that would indicate the end of the age and his second coming.
“25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; 26 Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. 27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. 28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.”
We have been experiencing distress and perplexity of nations upon the earth unlike anything in modern history. There have been record hurricanes, cyclones, typhoons, and flooding which appears to relate to “the sea and the waves roaring” and according to research this was a one time celestial alignment involving the sun, moon, and stars that accurately matches the reading of Revelation 12:1-2 word-for-word, the last book of the Bible concerning the foretold end times. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revelation_12_sign_prophecy A 3 minute video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jYgoX4NL7g
“When Noah and Lot warned their respective people of God’s coming judgment and destruction, the people would not listen. Instead they treated Noah and Lot as “extremists”. Then the destruction that DID come found the people unprepared. Thus it will be when Jesus Christ returns.” “This world is hearing and seeing the last warning message from God.” https://www.signs-of-end-times.com
I have created spaces that cover a good portion of others that have recently come to pass, how to be prepared, learning more about the bible, prophecy updates, and encouragement which can be found on my profile here. God bless.
ABC’s of salvation. http://abcsalvation.com
“Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” Acts 4:12
“For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;” 1 Timothy 2:5
“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 3:16
Oh these are the end times? Gee….ive never heard anyone say that before. Well….ummmmm……im going to go ahead and let you in on a little secret….ITS NOT THE END TIMES!!!!!! GROW UP!!!!!!!!
Don.t worry. Afghanistan will send aircarft for Americans wanting to leave USA…
What?
@The Probrush Snowflake.
Thibodaux a town a bit north of Houma got hammered super bad. I to left my home after the storm. Truly horrid conditions to stay in. Constant heat and trash spawn all over
Thanks for sharing. It’s heartwarming to see so many people in the USA are experiencing suffering
Wait wait hey man you good?
Really worried about you
Bryan, lay off the cannabis.
😂😂 yeah, I like it too !
That’s an awful thing to say
How many more times are we gonna rebuild these areas?
@Lit’l Miracles Farm We’ll be sure not to help you when disaster strikes you. How many times do you have to be told that nobody is immune?
NYC got flooded by IDA as well. I guess we should just walk away and let it rot.
@Islamisthecultofsin “NYC got flooded by IDA”
Something that does NOT happen EVERY YEAR!!!!
“I guess we should just walk away and let it rot.”
Like your school teacher did with your brain.
@Raging Monk I recall New York flooded like crazy before so the comparison is valid. Maybe you need to realize that weather happens and it’s not a sign of climate change or global warming or the End Times.
That’s what I’m saying it’s a natural bowl why can we fix it by relocating to better land it’s going to happen every year
does anyone know where to send donations for these people?
Check Samaritan’s Purse
Sure. Just send it to my main man Reverend Fastcash. He knows what to do with it.
Yeah straight to me and I’ll make sure it gets distributed evenly
I will take any donation I have to drive home in morning I’m drain tired of hurricane I’m in Texas for last 9 days 🙏
Girl don’t. This is America’s curse for the bad things they done to blacks. Most hurricanes form from Africa. Google it.
We finally did it, we pushed the Earth over the tipping point. There’s no going back now. We’ll become Venus in a century.
Exactly ! I see how the sun is 🔥burning plants
Good.
Jacob Sockness The sky is falling, the sky is falling?
The earth is actually cooling. Stop letting the Communist propaganda media lie to you.
That’s crazy

😷1:46….I REALLY WISH PEOPLE WOULD LET IT GO….WE ARE ALL GOING THROUGH 😩😢💔💔💔 SOMETHING…
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. John 14:6
Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the LORD, and he will reward them for what they have done. Proverbs 22:9
Now go load your car with supplies and help these people instead of being a keyboard preacher.
If Trump was President and this was STILL going on he be labeled the Grand Wizard.
Really… it’s been what a week
Dontcha just LOVE 1.) People stupid enough to live where Mother Nature has said NOT to live over and over again. 2.) That nursing home, they are ALL about money and NONE are about care. Gebus. 3.) ER worker with no mask, is she like the state’s emblem or something?
U can’t run u can’t hide Climate change is here to stay get ready
Queen Anne’s,
1721 Revenge ; )
Quick let’s rebuild our houses in the same spot for the next hurricane!
Cracker Jack Hurricanes don’t hit the same towns repeatedly or with anything like this strength. Look it up and enjoy an education.
Someone needs to pull joe off his granddaughter and let him know all is not well in the US and he sould cut his vacation short.
Only a pervert would think that, hows Epstein?
Finally able to check some news things are bad down here. Lines for gas lines for food lines for water. And we are hunting for gas I’ve had to drive to Mississippi a couple times.
I question why they lost so many power towers, was this purposely done, a test. Never seen so many towers collapse, storm was bad but not that bad, this never happened before?? There is so much lying, who can you trust….. what is the big picture? Depopulation? Control? Create a crisis so it won’t go to waste….. and they can manipulate and change things to the elites advantage? We need to question and see what the people with the money and in charge are doing to us!! and fight back!!
Terrible. Hurricanes will not go away. People will continue to suffer.
This is what you get when you elect a president like Joe Biden that plans America’s largest withdrawal in the middle of hurricane season and fire season 😡😡😡😡😡😡
Wooooooow this is really sad This is America 😢
according to sharon stone this is karma
Ужастики снимают
Well if you people know about the hurricanes coming through like this every single season why than why stay why live there move !!!!!!!! ??????????
Robbie Ortiz Most of the time they aren’t very bad. People in Tornado Alley live with tornadoes. People live with floods, ice storms, blizzards, droughts, wildfires, earthquakes, tsunamis…. Don’t be such a delicate little flower. Toughen up.
you know this happens year around so why should the world have sympathy for you do you know what happens and you still live there move away if you’re really tired of it
Impeach Biden now
WoW
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Third world america…
UNITED STATES OF AFGHANISTAN
Biden Admin.
CIA SAD Troll
And the best thing for there stress. Is to just move on. Move to higher ground. Unless they just want to lose everything let’s say 2 or 3 years from now. Is living on those little islands worth it???. 🙏🙏🙏🕊
เราดีใจมักจะมีน้ำตา
These are the biblical end times
This is what you get for privatized healthcare. They won’t move you until the insurance company agree to pay for it, which is never lol.
Nature vs. Modern times, can we really fold into survivalist living?
Just like Katrina. Southern states and their governors are absolutely failing their own people. From crime to poverty. These red states are just awful.
LOL, La had a democrat governor during Hurricanes Katrina, Laura and Ida. And crime is much worse in blue cities.
Why live there
From there, jobs there, family there, friends there. Kind of a dumb question.
I would never ever live south of the Mason Dixon line
sugarcookiecube Are you aware of what happened in the NYC area?
Nobody cares
Over dramatized story. One week after the storm 90% of Baton Rouge and 50% of New Orleans has had power restored.
Other places exist outside of major cities
Jordan Ramsey that part!
Its definitely not over dramatized. I live in Hammond (Tangipahoa parish) and we got hit pretty bad! It’s hard reading some of these comments.
https://youtu.be/IxcFkPRh7aU
Why do people still live their? like you know youre in storm town use this happens every year
Where did prison inmates go to🤔
Don’t go to California. It would be like jumping from the frying pan in the fire. You have too much water and they don’t have any.
Biden’s fault
Lord jesus 4 weeks, wow! Praying so hard for y’all louisiana !
People should leave louisiana
Gee, I thought after a cat4 hurricane I’d be able to charge my phone anywhere?
The nights shall be dark and full of terror… And the crows shall come… Jesus is the ONLY WAT OUT!!!
Keep this headline and just paste over next years storm, and the flowing year..
Let me guess. Red state gonna beg for blue state money again?
Stories of capitalism
I pray help comes soon because we have no electricity, we’re out of food and it’s so hot that if we run out of bottle water we will die out here! The tap water is contaminated but we can’t boil it because of no electricity. We can’t leave because there is no gas! FEMA denied us because we’re homeowners, but homeowners insurance doesn’t do advance payments. I walked 3 miles just to get some internet and cell service!
Evacuated after the storm to Arkansas. Ain’t ever going back to New Orleans.
what did they expect to happen?
You should come to Cameron, Lake Charles, and the surrounding areas… It’s been a year since we were hit this hard by Hurricane Laura and we still aren’t rebuilt and are forgotten by most. This will take years to recover from. We went 3 months without power in our area. There’s still a lack of housing, building supplies, and other necessities.
Over a million without power, nation news just keeps talking about Texas, we need to come together truly help each other.
Louisiana is a toxic dump. Always has been. People are crazy to live there and this will happen again, maybe even again before the end of the year. High crime, pollution, obesity, substance abuse. A very unhealthy state. Bunch of racists too.
Joe Biden needs to be put in one of those nursing homes
Man some trashy folks came to beam al. left trash in hotel parking lots cigarette butts laying around. Funny how hurricanes being out the trash in people.
