  1. We have to hear about this BS every year from Florida. Here’s the breakdown

    1: Hurricane is coming evacuate (a lot of citizens stay)
    2: People have to endanger themselves to rescue the trapped citizens
    3: The inevitable quote “now we just begin to recover and build again…”
    4: Back to normal
    5: Next year comes (here comes the hurricanes)
    6: “I’ve lived here all my life, and even though my business has been destroyed 47 times.. I can’t leave)
    7: Business is destroyed a 48th time
    8: news interviews “I just feel so devastated… this business is everything to me”
    9: clean up begins, rinse and repeat 😂
    I have empathy! It’s just the hilarity of the yearly drama and nonsensical behavior of those people that makes us laugh. If a cataclysmic mudslide destroyed my city at the bottom of a mountain every year and I kept building my house and the city on the same spot every year… you think people are gonna get tired of hearing the sobbing and drama of it all

  2. Dude… new world… don't build on sand and water.
    I'm 70 years old and since a kid never understood building on riverbanks, beautiful cliffsides, coastlines, etc.
    It's science based common knowledge, but not rocket science.

  3. I'm sorry, but that shot with the stop sign while the waves pummel it is quite hilarious!

  4. Nah really? Every year these residents know multiple hurricanes are coming 😂 and they always have to broadcast these sob stories to everyone. These people refuse to build their businesses elsewhere and the chance of hurricanes is 100% every single year. I have no sympathy

  5. I would move after my first Hurricane. He must got money to keep rebuilding.

  6. Cedar key- rosewood, you could change the name but not the fame.

  7. I'm sure Ron's wife will be there to vacuum up any donations to the state.

  8. And if you live by the water EXPECT TO GET WET.

  9. Sometimes I feel like dead people are watching me do private things.

  10. Chinese: thanks for not letting us to buy your underwater assets, governor DeSantis. You are our good little agent.

  11. The media “ how are you feeling” lady are you slow? How do you think he’s feeling

  12. Well they're lucky it was water and not fire like Lahaina. DON'T FORGET LAHAINA
    and Palestine, and…..

  13. 👍👍👍👍. I was at a retirement seminar and the speaker spoke on how he quit his job after he made well over $950,000 PROFIT within 3months he invested $120,000. I just began investing and i will really appreciate any tips or helpful guide

  14. YOU REPAIR! AND REBUILD! OVER! AND OVER! AND OVER! AND OVER! AGAIN!. AREN'T YOU TIRED! AND FED UP! WITH DOING SO?. I BECAME TIRED! OF REPAIRING MY CAR! SO I GOT RID OF IT!.

  15. What a useless reporting. He lives in Florida, has a restaurant right next to the water, and he mentions it's not the first time this happens because of a hurricane. Idk maybe im missing the point?

  16. Constantly being hit with Hurricanes and staying to wait for the next time is insane. How many times will people get the same destruction before they learn that it's not going to stop.
