#Hurricane #Florida #ExtremeWeather
Hunga Tunga volcano? Don’t ask.
Why would anyone wanna live in a place that has literal tsunami’s multiple times a year? The weather cant be worth the saftey of your family and prized possessions😢not worth it
A better way to turn FL BLUE!!!
Pero cómo no va haber devastación, si las construcciones son de madera y papel! Los techos, entonces, mejor ni decir. Me pregunto por qué en un país tan rico, que puede mandar trillones de dólares en impuestos de los contribuyentes para fuera de su território, no invierte para que los negócios de construcción puedan a los pocos ir cambiando esos materiales de “casas de muñeca” y fabriquen casas para PERSONAS que viven en zonas de huracanes, tornados, etc, casas DE CONCRETO Y VIGAS DE METAL, COÑO! Todo año, es la misma desgracera, y si no se elimina es porque hay mucha gente y negócios que dependen de ello. 🙄
Thanks biden!!!
Build your house upon the sand…? Now there’s a bible lesson of practicality.
Now where in the Bible does it say that? Chapter abd verae please.
Oh no, we don’t need to do anything about climate change…😂😂😂 . Yes the big storms can hit anywhere in the USA and around the world, but clearly certain areas are more prone and maybe people should just stop living there. Time to move out and go somewhere that isn’t aiming to be underwater.
maga has left me indifferent to red state disasters.
Out west & down south are beautiful places to visit but I wouldn’t want to live there..Thank God for the Mid-west
People who fall asleep on railroad tracks complain when the train runs them over
I don’t have the money to buy or build a home, but if I did I’d enough sense not to build in a disaster prone area where insurance is either too expensive or non-existent. I may be poor but I’m not a fool!
i cant be the only one who saw the title of this vid and read it as “40 reporters killed as helene….” and was like 😯😳
To me it sounds like the insurance company knew most these homes were uninsured, they created the hurricane to destroy those homes to rebuild. $$$ follow the money. They can actually create storms. Look it up. Do your homework.
Insurance: u pay us for emergencies like this, but if you use your insurance overage we will spike ur rates so you pay us back for covering you. So you’re not really covered. It’s a scam.
I don’t understand how they are not allowed to build their houses in concrete like the Caribbeans.
I literally can’t understand why you’d live in a place that will likely be destroyed.
The northeast only has cold to deal with.
Building houses in hurricane zones not a good idea?
Heartbreaking
Avoid the wrath! Watch Can you take the mark of the beast accidentally? By Tiff Shuttlesworth
And that’s the problem.the Govt should regulate insurance prices. So u live on the water ,can’t get insurance . shouldn’t the price of those high risk homes be cheaper??? Not in the millions
We act like this is the first time we hear about a hurricanes. Preparation is key…
We act like they’re not getting more frequent
@@Jc-ms5vv exactly, the better word I think is adapt. Because there is no reversing the shet we did to this planet
@@bonedyone unfortunately can’t adapt to a lifeless planet
I’m looking for information on USC Aiken. My granddaughter is a teacher there. She lives alone with her teen daughter. Cant find any specifics on Aiken.
People have been saying for years that we’ll start seeing unprecedented storms.
A “once-every-500-years” storm sounds like just the beginning.
Humanity will see its blunders eventually. The sad part is that we can’t even say “this is only the beginning,” anymore. lol The “beginning” passed a long time ago. We were just fools that didn’t take action…
What a catastrophe. My goodness. The scale and reach is unthinkable.
With all that extra melted glacier water there’s a whole lot more water for storm surges…study the polar shifts and learn what’s happening with the earth
Remember the days when we as Americans would come together and support this kind of devastation?
Political forces have won I guess 🤔
This hurricane was wild
Aquafence? Wow!! That’s pretty cool!
Oh no! Wish you all a speedy recovery. My condolences.❤
2 Chronicles 7:14-16 (KJV)
if my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
Maybe Trump can come toss paper towels your way….he’s a real leader after all
The F.B.I. Released a Photo allegedly of the Deceased Thomas Crooks, in this Photo, the dead person had Tattoos on his right Arm, a Birthmark on the Right side of his Neck and Scars on Both Earlobes. Thomas Crooks had none of these Markings, Maxwell Yearick did. Why Cremation? Fortunely we Have the Photos. Maxwell Yearick was mentioned initially on News Channels then just Disappeared, Maxwell Yearick Owned Yearick Armory in Arizona which had Ties to the C.I.A.
Maxwell hasn’t been Seen Since the Asassination Attempt, it’s Believed that Yearick was the Assassin and Cremated to Cover any Ties to the C.I.A. or other 3 Letter Agencies and Mathew Crooks, a Witting Pawn, Most likely met a Similar Fate.

I’m ok everyone ❤
These people where warned for 5 days. 5 days! And those who could afford to leave stayed anyway. Smh. Im sure i will be notified within 60 days my insurance premiums will be going up, and i dont even live in florida.
We built our house and cleared the trees around our house so that trees can’t fall onto the house. This should be a standard
Something “preppers” should take note of . Are your food containers waterproof ? Cans , Jars and the 3 – 5 gallon buckets will survive . Bags of Flour , Rice , Beans ? Depends on what the bag is made out of . Vacuum sealed plastic bags ?
Sad story
Hopefully sml does not die
I don’t feel bad for those that chose not to have hurricane insurance in a place that always has hurricanes… that’s ignorant
That’s what happens when you live in the path hurricanes take every year
3:30 Didn’t know Tom Llamas jumped ship to NBC
Thank God we have capable leadership in the White House.. Imagine what would happen if that other waste of flesh was in charge? He’d leave them to fend for themselves
Well, if he’s elected that will happen. Check Project 2025, FEMA is on DonOld chopping block.
I heard 1 guy on the news say this is his 3rd HURRICANE IN 13 MONTHS !! He wants to Rebuild !! PEOPLE DON’T LEARN !!
Climate change isn’t real right guys?!
It is possible to build hurricane proof homes. They are just too expensive for most people.
🙏🏼🙏🏿🙏
I hope in Jesus name the government step in and help our brothers and sisters, please 🙏
No separation of church and state, then? Better help your pastor with his taxes, he’s a noob.
So a huge, climate change-fueled hurricane devastates a ‘red’ state where most voters don’t believe in climate change, eh?
All I can say is, Thoughts and Prayers…..
So sorry for those affected. I don’t think they even stop to think which political party made their insurance rates so high, or non-existent, or unaffordable. And I’m surprised NBC didn’t close this news segment by blaming the right-leaning population somehow. We, as a country, will never be able to stand together as ONE and enjoy fair and reasonable insurance rates as long as one party instills threats, fear and repercussions as to HOW “their” system will work (not how it SHOULD work).
Way to go God
And yet the United States wants to vote for a criminal that doesn’t believe in climate change….who doesn’t see it as a treat.
I bet my lil’ friends are probably dead in Florida and Tennessee.
you wanna bet half of those that died are supporters of Trump just trying to eat their cats and dogs
🙏🙏🙏🙏
Don’t worry, folks. Worsening storms caused by global warming is ALL A HOAX! This is the work of Nancy Pelosi and her group of radical Dems!!!
Again, why live there.? Just leave.
I literally don’t understand how people can live in those areas, this happens every single year and it’s going to continue getting worse every single year. 😢
Destruction? Seems like a lot of that going on in the world nowadays…..KARAMA?
This happens all the time and you’re acting like it’s the first time. Smh.
were with you in tough times, God bless America
This is all mankind’s fault!!
And now we wait to see how quickly Investment firms rush in to buy up all the land and turn every property into a rental property to further destroy home ownership opportunities.
Where’s the people who don’t have boats. Did they drown and end up in the lake?😮😮😮
Oh man new sheetrock ..hes in his kayak 😂
Are they still voting for Trump…..
If so, he doesn’t believe in Climate Change. No sympathy. This is just the tip of the iceberg. They will be more and more powerful.
Climate change is not real, folks. Nothing to see here.
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
So heartbreaking to see all southern states effect by hurricane. God’s bless you all.
I am looking for my son. He was in that storm. I haven’t received any call yet. Holding my breath.
It’s the work of the Creator God trying to tell you something God is tired of the sin of man you better prepare yourself for something worse!!!!
For some Republicans, climate change remains a hoax.
So many deaths, this is so sad 😢 the displaced need to be placed in another home.
The saddest part is they failed to head national weather warnings depending on local stations who downplayed it all. They were told to head west two days before landfall.
I got out a month ago. Had to return to Trinity area for nusiness
When my plane took off I knew I would never be back. Now there is nothing to return to. I flew out of Asheville. I was the only persons allowed to sleep in the airport that night as the democratic presidential candidate had a rally in Asheville the next day.
Sadly Republicans still continue to ignore and deny the effects of climate change even when it’s happening to them. And there’s another one coming.
Amen and have allowed ballad health to monopolize the tri State area. I used to be a republication now and independent trying to figure out who the worst liar is. I fled to Midwest a month ago to leave southern justice in my rear view mirror. We are all people of color just different shades.
Get isreal lobby to pray to stop the hurrocane
War criminals
Just left 56 years of living in the South. Got out due to safety. Now everyone not smart enough to listen to the news is without power. Ballad healthovdc the lovely community hospital in Erwin TN to a flood zone on the nolichuckey river. Franklin woods is built on sink holes. Sycamore shoals now evacuated is built on the river. I used to walk the trail there. Ballad health is a for profit monopoly in the tri State area.
Everything is fine now, the hurricane has passed. Everything will be fine. My relatives in Tampa are all fine. It’s raining a little.
This is what we get for watching all those mega tsunamis on you tube.
Now lets have the same emergency aid for our American citizens.that the government has for Ukraine and illegals.
All them electronic cars and bicycles burning down peoples homes in FL, guess it’s helping the environment, SMH lol
WE ARE STRANDED IN ASHEVILLE,NC & SURROUNDING AREA. PLEASE SEND HELP!!!! PLEASE SEND HELP!!!
Jesus keep me near the cross and protect so many unfortunate!
I feel safe living an hour from the beach in Florida because we have storm drains and canals, but in Florida you can be 90 minutes to both coasts and 150′ above sea level.
Florida is a awesome and special place and I appreciate the direction Desantis has been going, but we are in trouble with our population growth, housing prices, Insurances costs and crazy HOAs. Gov needs to realize no building code or code enforcement is ever going to be good enough here. I’ve written our state and local governments to consider a new approach that will fix housing in the state and lead to an explosion in home ownership where they relax zoning, building codes and code enforcement. Let people take the risk they want and live how they want on land they own outright. Mandate evacuations and get out of the way. Focus on better infrastructure. Regulate real estate transactions, Insurances and banking putting the full burden on buyers to know what they buying. Inform and protect the consumer and GTFOOTW. THIS will restore the American dream and truly make Florida the land of the Free and the Brave.
Trump don’t care about them
Climate change, how many of these disaster weather catastrophe have we had around the world this summer. It’s not going to get better unless we start paying attention
Next year extreme weather is only going to get worse.
Welcome to the new normal
Where are you Meatball Ron?
Kamala Harris will help
Too bad they given all our tax funds away to foreigners already.
🙏
Water should be under our Control. Not We under Water’s Control. 1 mile wide and 1 mile deep well should be dug where such floods start. Thus, we preserve the water and contribute that to the farm lands also later on. All around the well, drums should be dropped into the water in the nights without any effort and Energy of the Sun should be used to pull them up in the days. The Turbines thus will be forced to produce Electricity at nights !
Equity huh? No insurance & rebuilt anyway huh? As for Florida, didn’t they just trash all the so-called “black history books”? “Jah strength is in the clouds” or “God don’t like ugly” smh sad when will America’s get it? 🙏 sooner than later.
Praying 🙏🙏🙏
tragic , I was there like a year ago playing pool with my ex gf
Bahahahhahaha!!!! God is good!!!!!
I wonder what’s next . These hurricanes keep getting worse no one will have money to keep rebuilding after every storm.
My heart goes out to all those affected ❤❤. I live in the Caribbean and most times in the path of the hurricanes and storms… So i can imagine the heartbreak seeing all your items and memories destroyed 😢😢
is trumps golf course ok
This hurricane was so bad and costly, everyone’s insurance across the US might go up.
