Weather Nation correspondent Erik Fox reports from Punta Gorda, Florida, which appears to be one of the worst cities hit by Hurricane Ian as the back side of the storm has dislodged boats from the nearby bay and has taken out trees over 100 years old.

  1. I got cured from Herpes virus after using #DrOSABA natural remedy, I got my medicine from #DrOSABA within 7working days through UPS delivery service, you can contact #DrOSABA on his YouTube channel for help.

  2. Anyone who would give 5 cents to a leftist loser politician reflects perfectly Jesus's statement that He made, when He asked His Father, "please forgive them for they know not what they do!"

  3. Hi from Virginia Beach!!⛱

  4. No problem Biden said he given the rich 39000 to the owners of damage..

  5. I can never understand people who won't leave the house and a storm is coming, and then someone has to save them, risk their life, they should be told that they won't be rescued 😡 I'm sorry but I don't feel sorry for them, they put the rescuers in danger.

  6. Well at least those who lost homes, loved ones and property can watch the Tampa Bay bucs play NFL football on Sunday!! I really don't know what we would do without NFL football.

  7. where is REED TIMMER is he ok

  8. Looking around at the data, it seems the NHC may have greatly exaggerated the strength of the storm. You cannot find reports of a wind gust that was anywhere near what the NHC claims was the maximum sustained winds. That is typical for almost every storm. It used to be that surface winds were estimated to be something like 70-90% of flight level winds depending on the storm. The NHC used Andrew as an excuse to make it a flat 90%. Since then, their reports have been mostly unreliable. The NHC claimed the storm had sustained winds of 155. Find a reported wind gust over 130. Clearly this 90% rule needs to be dumped and the NHC needs to go back to using science instead of taking shortcuts. I'd like to see the NWS do the same with their phony severe thunderstorm warnings. You cry wolf enough, people are going to start ignoring the warnings.

  9. Some hours ago I let go all the fish and reptiles of my aunt's pet store before I locked it up. Couldn't let the animals suffer if the power went out. Good thing for flooding. I just put them all in the rain water and they swam away.

  10. I was in irma and it was bad

  11. Well no shyte Sherlock!!!! Im pretty sure everyone knows a hurricane doesn’t mean “gentle breeze”

  12. DeSantis can save everyone.

  14. There should be no surprises, rather surprised, no two fires, hurricanes and floods are the same, they are always different for that reason we must prepare for the worst. "Romasanta"

  15. I have friends in Punta Gorda. Pray for them

  16. How many more exotic reptiles have now escaped from pet stores to proliferate in Fla's climate?!😬

  19. Woke Hurricane gonna get banned … Climate Change is real — select better leaders

  20. The Decline of Intelligentsia, PART 6

    Some search in vain for an "original thinker" who has made a name by advancing a workable theory about important questions of our times. They ask: Has any contemporary intellectual intervened effectively, with a comprehensive doctrine, or a single compelling ideology, in education, science, industry, socio-economic structure, defense, mass-communications, or in any other important actuality!

    Why is it that the mere idea of calling upon one of them to prove his intellectual eminence

    in the media, in government, or in social planning, is enough to evoke our pity?

    Indeed, what are the origins of the decline of intellectual leadership, of the triumph of mediocrity,

    of the emerging double standards, of the frantic hedonism-nihilism and of the preference of

    immediate comfort and prosperity above long-term survival?

    But most important, can the ruling parties and the so-called intellectual elite spearhead the task of stemming the tide of decline in our vital domains of thought and practice?

    And if they can, will the prevailing methodologies help them deal with the totality of our problems?

    Do they have the proper philosophy to do so? Can they discard their old, presuppositions? /

  21. All the people that stayed are maga Republican desantis loving extremists according to CBS,NBC and cnn

  22. Considering everything is electronic now, I’m honestly curious how one gets into their hotel room when there is no power? Does the lock just stop working?

  23. Rain & wind. I’m sure the socialist will blame it on global warming..

  24. Lmao 🤣 awesome way to go Ian 👍👍👍

  25. Aloha 🤙from Waikiki! Stay hunkered down brother's and sisters!

  26. I'm in Sarasota…trees down everywhere, but the homes are intact for the most part.

  27. I just pray that everyone is vaccinated like Biden recommended. 🙏🙏

  28. NE Florida coast line now preparing for back side of the eye to hit, after that it's gone from Florida. It's already passed over every where it first made landfall.

  29. Give them paper towels

  30. I hope the Island Boys are safe !! 👈😃 .. watching from Santa Cruz CA

  31. Repent Repent God see and knows all

  32. Hurricane zones are dangerous? Wow, I heard that water is wet too.

  33. karma for the floriduh repukes

  34. "Storm chaser" Uhhhh. You can't chase a hurricane. That is for tornados. What is there to "chase" it is a hundred miles or so wide and you can see it coming at you because it completely envelops everything around you for miles.

    Just stay put. You don't need to "chase" anything. It is coming at you very slowly and will hit you like a ton of briks.

  35. Ya heard him. This storm isn't normal. H.A.A.R.P

  36. Dah. Climate change deniers WAKE UP WAKE UP. Big industry and greed at it's best.

  37. The reluctance or inability of "Conservatives" to acknowledge facts, truth & reality in a timely manner is what makes them a Clear & Present Danger to the safety, security, health & public welfare of America – and human existence on Planet Earth.
    The reluctance or denials of Democrats to acknowledge facts, truth & reality & ACT in a timely and APPROPRIATE manner is what makes them a Clear & Present Danger to the safety, security, health & public welfare of America – and human existence on Planet Earth.
    Democrats speak of urgency & emergency action needed concerning both the attack on American democracy & the Climate Change Crisis – but their actions are sadly lacking the crucial boldness necessary.

  38. that news guy better watch out
    it looks like there is a big storm
    right behind him. those are huge
    rain drops.

  39. The back side of a hurricane is almost always stronger. – -Common knowledge

  40. MATHEW 24: …… REPENT USA FOR THE MESSIAH IS COMING!!

  41. I left Florida for Ohio. Glad I did. Stay safe my Florida people.

  42. Neste eu Confio :-
    SENHOR JESUS CRISTO

    Palavra da Boca de DEUS Vivo em Nome do SENHOR JESUS CRISTO com o ESPÍRITO SANTO escritas nas Escrituras Sagradas:- Isaías 33:22. – "Porque o SENHOR é o nosso Juiz; o SENHOR é o nosso Legislador; o SENHOR é o nosso Rei: ELE nos Salvará." €€€
