  1. look at the most high power work he is righteous and his judgment is fair

  2. Who would’ve thought the ocean could attack.

  3. Karma…. Florida lawmakers opposed federal aid to Hurricane Sandy's victims and the Infrastructure Bill…. so it's only fair now the state doesn't get any federal aid this time.

  4. Fake news this is all a hoax! I have seen no proof that a hurricane has it Florida this is all part of the deep state trying to trick us

  5. Nature is taking back the land.

  6. all those people's homes that got destroyed broke the 20/20 rule, a very important rule. 20 miles from the shoreline and 20 feet above the sea level, and a new construction home withstand the hurricane winds easily without any major damage.

  7. East coast version of California, pure destruction.

  8. People were told to evacuate. Why were the warnings ignored??

  9. Yep time to switch planets TO MARS! yep there goes my beloved house.

  10. The beautiful irony of DeSantis voting NO in 2012 for FEMA aid during Hurricane Sandy now DeSantis is BEGGING for FEMA aid after Hurricane Ian.

  11. The Climate Waits for No One

    Thirty years ago, a friend of mine got into the green energy business and tried to pull me into it. I asked him what for, it isn’t serious. He said, “You have no idea how much money is being poured into it. Everyone wants in on it, politicians, financiers, businesspeople, the lot.” He was right, of course. Yet, no one wants to promote green energy in order to save the planet, but only to swell up their pockets even more. The declarations, therefore, remain in the assembly hall where they are stated, necessary actions are ignored, and the climate waits for no one: It will keep deteriorating.

    This week in Glasgow, Scotland, the 26th UN Climate Change Conference is taking place. Officially, it aims to “bring parties together to accelerate action towards the goals of the Paris Agreement and the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change.” In reality, the countries plan to do the exact opposite. This year’s UN Production Gap Report, which tracks the discrepancy between governments’ planned fossil fuel production and actual global production levels, states the following: “Despite increased climate ambitions and net-zero commitments, governments still plan to produce more than double the amount of fossil fuels in 2030 than what would be consistent with limiting global warming to 1.5°C [2.7°F].”

    Energy sources and technologies do change, but not according to what is best for the planet. It changes according to the interests of politicians and money moguls, and it never benefits the planet or the majority of its inhabitants, namely all of us.

    Since the climate waits for no one, eventually, it will catch up with us. Earth is a closed system, and in a closed system, there are consequences to exploitation: it hurts the abuser as well as the abused.

    I don’t know when or at what cost, but eventually, we will all have to realize that we cannot take beyond what we need. We cannot keep exploiting Earth selfishly and thoughtlessly because it will turn against us.

    Earth is like a submarine: there is only so much oxygen on board. If some crew members take more than their quota, the rest will not have enough, they will die, and the submarine will sink along with those who exceeded their quota.

    We need constant reminders that we are one system, and we are all dependent on each other. We need to genuinely grasp that selfishness hurts us just as being exploitative hurts others. If we constantly remind ourselves that we are interdependent, we will behave with more consideration, and we will avoid the punitive impact of climate change.

    The other option is to keep working as the UN’s Production Gap Report states that we are planning to work, and suffer nature’s unforgiving response. I hope we wise up in time because everyone will pay the price for this mistake.

  12. The Defund the Police Democrat Party is worried about looters being shot in Florida… Unlike Democrat Party Cities where criminals are ENCOURAGED to loot stores with the Party’s assurance that the will not respond and – even if caught – the Party’s DAs will release w/o bail?

  13. The vast pollution perioperatively ask because juice dentsply choke anenst a gainful october. lyrical, puny gasoline

  14. it looks like a war zone

  15. Another disturbance in the Atlantic Ocean is heading west from Africa. It is picking up a lot of moisture and has a 50% probability of turning into a hurricane

  16. When the big one hits LA, it will be wonderful

  17. Florida and other states and countries all over the world have been getting hit by hurricanes/typhoons for millions of years. Just quit building an inch away from the coastline. The news makes it sound like Florida is wiped off the map. I live northeast of Tampa and didn't get much rain compared to the frequent rains we get in the summer, and there was just one night of fairly high winds, and I had no power outages. I'm originally from the midwest and had to endure tornado warnings all the time during springtime.

  18. There had to have been a safeguard Incase a outrageous enemy seized critical position's in our government! Why is the current illegitimate enemy government allowed to destroy America? Is this God's plan to fulfill the prophecy of Jesus Christ?

  19. FAKE ! To make it more dramatic they doctored the AFTER images by changing the colors

  20. So all the lies about global warming that these states have time to build barriers for the rising ocean levels. Well global warming is here and now and these 500 year storm events are here and next year and the next.

  21. So y’all are just building houses on the beach, in Florida?
    You’re just asking for it at this point.
