  1. Fake news this is a hoax nothing happened in Florida. I have seen no proof to make me believe a hurricane hit Florida.

  2. Prayers for loved ones❤️💙🗝️THE KEY TO YOUR SALVATION 💙🙏 1Corinthians 15: Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
    2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
    3 💙For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
    4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:💙
    Confess, repent, believe & trust that King Jesus died, paid for your sins, and was raised by God on the 3rd day! May God be with you! God loves you, Jesus loves you 🧡 God Bless!!

  3. Why we in Florida allow mobile homes, building on or near the beach, and continue to try to get people to move here is the real question.

  4. Who are Eric Coomer, Bryan A. Vordran and Scandal Pichai ?

  5. (4:17) Building Codes and Regulations matter is a potential disaster. I think that is a really good takeaway from this conversation. Learning from the science, never thought I would hear that coming out of Florida…

    🤔

  6. Hurricane Katrina comes to mind.

  7. This rant goes out to florida and everyone on the east coast being hit by the hurricane;
    Hopefully now my feelings of liberty our mutual.  You know the knot in your stomach your feeling as you watch and experience a life changing disaster?  The burning like you just ate a softball and it wont digest?  Now imagine that stress every single day of your working life since 2005.  Imagine being tricked into breaking your back for a sincere move and opportunity with your gf, only to have yet another mafia group fleece me as well as the rehab games of noise making continuing by elders who had it way easier.  Imagine going a week without power and the power company moving the goalposts to try to shut it off repeatedly, along with other utilities.  Imagine having a car with a full lifetime warranty the local mob mechanics break and dont honor, demand payment on under extortion of arrest.    Imagine an angry innefficient politicized food stamp and energy assistance offices losing your packets and not being able to eat everyday.  Again.  That is why i prayed for this hurricane.  Now when you are sore with a hurt back and necks after the cleanup.  We may feel about the same.  Again.  Its why i refuse to assist and i truly think with the job opportunities as well as housing opportunities that nobody millenial or younger should assist until a new deal is structured.  Across all emt paramedic fema firefighting essential services.  How dare you call us entitled.

  8. Maybe DeSantis could bus Florida refugees to America?

  9. I want everybody to look up Geo engineering they have been controlling the weather for 40 years

  10. Thoughts and Prayers NOT!

  11. Chucky looks so happy and excited.

  12. Thank you Jesus for punishing stupid Trump supporters! Amen!!!

  13. Have we crossed the point of no return in terms of damaging the planet? There is no such point. We need to trust that our thought, which is our greatest quality, can change nature. We only need to understand the direction to which we should aim our thoughts. What should we think about? What condition or state should we aspire to and ask for?
    In order to save our planet, we should think about positive human connections. That is, how can we, in our connections, keep nature safe? How can we all together protect our world? If we truly wish to better our planet, then we should see people holding a concern for how to positively connect everywhere that we look.
    It has nothing to do with recycling or other activities that we commonly associate with as being sustainable. If we come closer to and consider each other, that we will reach an entirely organic, perfectly connected and round state, then the negative forces will disappear from the world.
    We need to understand that if we start thinking better about each other, then the planet will recover from all harm, because our thoughts are the strongest force in nature. Likewise, our negative thoughts about each other are entirely to blame for damaging the planet. That is why the more we recycle and invest in energies and activities that we commonly think of as being sustainable, the worse our planet becomes. Nothing will work to benefit us until we reach a state where our attitude changes toward each other for the better to protect and improve our planet.

  14. Time to cut the fossil fuel industry. They're killing you. The fact the country is paying them to keep going is a travesty.

  15. Hดิฉันรู้ว่าใครทำฝนเทียมใด้นะคะแต่ท่าดิฉันไม่พูดแบบนั้นดิฉันจะรอดมาถึงวันนี้หรือคะและคุณบลิวบิลเลียมก็คงตายไปแล้วละคะเขาไม่ปล่อยคุณและครอบครัวคุณแน้แน้นะคะฟีดจะจับลูกเสือตัองร้อแม่เสือออกจากถำ้นะคะฟีด

  16. bet the immigrants are happy they were sent to Martha's vineyard….

  17. God is punishing you for using Christianity as a weapon for control of the populace. And what do we hear from DeSantis??? Crickets !!! Is he in Cancun with Ted Cruz or down in Mar a Lago kissing the Orange Jesus's pamper?

  18. No pueden lidear con un huracan y quieren ir a la luna la tierra es primero

  19. Ok this is Destantis State right, Biden did say he was sending funding right, well he said it but he's calling in a master to look over the bill and it mite take 2 month 🙄.
