  1. Fake news this is all a hoax! I have seen no proof that a hurricane has hit Florida this is all part of the deep state to fool us and I’m no fool

  2. I went through Andrew in 92 and Ian has been just as devastating.. bless those who have been impacted by both these storms.. it's something we will never 4 get

  3. People Should Have Been Told The Truth-A Category 4 Hurricane Will Wipe Your Home Off The Slab It's On & The Map-You Cannot Sustain A Category 4 Hurricane-Get Out-Evacuation Mandatory. A Failure To Communicate On DeSantis Part. In My Opinion It Cost Floridians Their Lives.

  4. A storm of similar strength hit the Philippines but only 12 deaths, why Florida has more deaths?

  5. Has anyone seen Ian Phillips? He lives in Ft Myers and is blind and missing.

  6. I knew it was going to be horrific but WHOAAAA

  7. Wish we could see an area other than Ft Myers. As much as I love it we are seeing the same videos and photos over and over again. Praying for all involved in this massive search and clean up

  8. Why not make nicer shelters in each county that are stock with food water and more people would go to one if they made nicer ones where it's not like your stuck at a homeless shelter for days locked in

  9. Florida needs to prepare for a Cholera out break not only people dead in the water but animals horses cattle etc, any animals or humans drinking contaminated water can get Cholera which is a deadly disease.
    Being a rancher from Francis, Jean, Charlie and so forth the pastures are flooded the cattle and live stock have no grass or food or high ground to get to the fences are down they will try to move to safety. The grass will spoil their hooves will get scalded and drinking the contaminated water will cause massive deaths to the livestock effected and those bodies will rot and cause more to get sick and die from drinking the contaminated water.
    Try to hire some cowboys and move them across the state to unaffected areas.
    Tree's are all over the fences not the cattle fault so keep your trigger happy Yankee fingers off your triggers and let cattlemen move them.
    Most areas will be too wet for even horses and you can't see if your in a foot of water or yen feet.
    Air boats are needed.
    Let the cattle pass on roads keep your speed down walk them to dryer pastures.

  10. What i can't understand, is why do people stay, when they have the means to leave? You have late model RVs, nice pickup trucks and cars…but, you stay around to meet your demise.

  11. Respect the alligators and swamp life you Floridians

  12. Thank you dr osaba on YouTube for curing my herpes virus with natural root and herbs.

  13. They love to exaggerate to make news it is a Beach area so what you expect it is a very silly tv they have no real news to play with, after Trump lift not too much excitement in their TV.

  14. These are the way Tsunami happened.

  15. Guess DeSantis wont be Bussing ppl for a while.

  16. There’s going to be bigger stronger storms but that will not mean less people living there. What it will ultimately mean sooner or later is that homes will be much much stronger and nimbler capable of enduring a cat 5 . Building with traditional lumber is so 20th century and antiquated. We just don’t know it yet.

  17. 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.

  18. No bottled water? Democrat Biden is a joke of a government

  19. In my opinion Build the new buildings that can handle 160 mph winds…..

  20. There are no Republicans or Democrats at times like this. Just Americans helping other Americans. The way it should be all the time.

  21. Moma. Is ok safety home 🏘️

  22. I don’t think rebuilding is wise because it’s just going to happen over and over again.

  23. "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever shall believe in Him, should not perish but have everlasting life" (John 3:16). Life is uncertain, but death is assured, make sure you have secured your soul, for it is certain, wheresoever you find yourself to be, (judgment day is coming) it will be for all eternity.

  24. Living in the last days. Luke 21:25-28 is a verse spoken of by Jesus that foretold some of the signs and world conditions that would indicate the end of the age and his second coming.

    25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; 26 Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. 27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. 28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

    We have been experiencing distress and perplexity of nations upon the earth unlike anything in modern history. There have been record hurricanes, cyclones, typhoons, and flooding which appears to relate to “the sea and the waves roaring” and according to research this was a one time celestial alignment involving the sun, moon, and stars that accurately matches the reading of Revelation 12:1-2 word-for-word, the last book of the Bible concerning the foretold end times. https://enwik.org/dict/Revelation_12_sign_prophecy A 3 minute video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jYgoX4NL7g

    "The Romans Road to salvation is a method based on the biblical principles found in the New Testament book of Romans to explain how a person can come to faith in Jesus Christ. Shared with millions of people around the world, the Romans Road explains why we need salvation, how God provided salvation, how we can receive salvation, and the results of salvation.” The Romans Road to salvation – What is it?

  25. Senseless to rebuild. Cut your losses and get out. The next storm will be worse ! What a waste!

  26. What is the best way to give financial help?

  27. CONservatives vote against regulations for storm proofing that would cost devs a couple hundred per house. Then those pootin praising commies vote to make climate change worse.

    You get what u vote for. No wonder Cons have a life expectancy of 72 in some parts LOL!. Cons are a dying breed who want to end their miserable lives quickly, which is helping libs alot lol

  28. People in the world are sinful we have to put God first than anything, what we have or owned is nothing. When we have God we have everything. Pray for the people and peace in this world it so corrupted. God bless you.

  29. Global warming is real people!, this is just the beginning. What else do you think is going to happen when you dont take care of your environment and fragile ecosystem. This the end of days, may god have mercy on our souls

  30. And where is our dear governor here we are three days no power no water they haven’t even said anything up yet this is outrageous outrageous the way you have treated us I had all the faith in the world and you DeSantis but I tell you what I’m not a happy camper with you right now you told us everything was in place we’ve got nothing no food no ice no water no fuel nothing no power and I have lost faith in you

  31. One thing should be perfectly clear by now. There is a pattern. Centuries old.

  32. it looks like it only hit black peoples houses.

  33. With Andrew nothing was left standing.
