  1. Insurance company will fully cover for it, Don't worry, everything will be fine

  2. child molesting priests praying for you✝😑📖

  3. Climate change will keep affecting these extreme and devastating weather systems.

  4. Would you people stop saying “a whole Nuther level.” No such word.

  5. My prayers 🙏 to you all!❤❤❤

  6. FRIGHTENING🥺😱
    UNIMAGINABLE
    LOOKS LIKE WAR ZONE

    NO WORDS COULD DISCRIBE FEELINGS OF LOSS…….🤭😪🤧🤒🥺

  7. It is no longer a story that the world is experiencing a global economic downturn, I’m so happy that I’ve been receiving $45,000 from my $10,000 investment every 10 days.

  8. This is just devastating, but looking at the video, it clearly shows that Florida is sandy all around. I'd never move to Florida.

  9. This part of Florida should rest in peace. Nature owns it. 3 times as of late. Strike four is coming.

  10. MDMSSB💦⭐💫 wish everyone Happy New Year 2022.Lets work otogether to overcome the covid-19 trauma asap. Latest news sharing. J

    "We support human Work life balance"

  11. Everyone uses drones for observation so Y not use them to carry food to those cut off.Carry water to those that can't get to the trucks of water.

  12. Rebuild? You coastal dwellers learn anything from this? Haven't had enough yet?

  13. Paper towels are on the way enjoy!

  14. THIS WORLD WIDE EXTREME WEATHER IS THE WRATH OF GOD (THE WHOLE WORLD HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING ALL FORMS OF WEATHER FOR THE PAST 7 MONTHS) (THE WORLD IS ENDING (THE BOOK OF REVELATION HAS COME TO LIFE) (REPENT TO JESUS THE CHRIST TO BE SAVED) THIS WEATHER, CRIME, DROUGHT, FAMINE, VIRUSES WON'T STOP IT WILL ONLY GET WORSE (THE MOON HARDLY COMES OUT ANYMORE, THE STARS DON'T SHINE BRIGHT ANYMORE, THE SUN SHINES BRIGHT WHITE ITS NOT YELLOW ANYMORE, THERE'S RAINBOWS COMING OFF THE SUN, IF YOU HOLD YOUR PHONE SCREEN OR A MIRROR UP TO THE SUN YOU WILL SEE RAINBOW STREAKS COMING FROM THE SUN) THESE ARE SIGNS FROM GOD (HE'S ENDING THE WORLD, SEEK CHRIST TO BE SAVED, REPENT AMEN 🙏🏾) 🌈🌥☀🎑⚡ (GOD BLESS ALL) 🙏🏾

  15. The Anchor was definitely fishing for more dramatic responses from this guy so they could get better ratings lol 😂

  16. Actually actually actually actually actually

  17. Prayers to everyone. God be with you all. But you are living below sea level on sand, not dirt. When hurricanes come , so does sea water. We get hurricanes every year in any part of Florida. They are only going to get worse. You rebuild, it will go again, lose everything. Again. Is it really worth it. It's a lot of stress when this happens and alot of money down the drain. Insurance companys never give back full amount to recover. It's just not worth to take that chance and have to die of either drowning or get hit by flying debris. Everything you work for, gone, no matter if they did rebuild. That alone will take years. And that's what hurts.

  18. Gov. DeSantis has stated more than once he doesn't want D.C.'s Federal Govt. SOCIALIST bailout money in his isthmus state that gets hits with devastating hurricanes like clockwork. Now Ron is immediately asking President Biden for Federal Govt (socialist) money to help bail his Floridians out of their swamp due to ….wait for it…. ANOTHER HURRICANE…(DUH)….leaving behind another massive costly region of destruction and death. Floridians living near the ocean KNOW HURRICANES HIT FLORIDA REGULARLY. Why keep bailing residents and rebuilding when another hurricane can wipe it out in hours. Ridiculous.

  19. It seems these places should be tourist towns, not nursing homes….. they are hurricane prone and on the beach soooo
