  1. President Biden! Are you sure he is?

  2. Hurricanes are bigger in global warming Florida is in trouble.The death toll must be in the top 10 historic worst.Its absolutely brutal.Homelessness can end up as suicide.I would not invest there myself.

  3. why anyone would choose to "ride out" a cat 4 is way beyond my ability to comprehend

  4. Some who drowned in the hurricane may’ve been eaten by alligators, so they might not find all the missing who died but it’s a big task digging through layers of broken homes and mud to search diligently for bodies

  5. "It'll come back better." Wanna bet? You need to move away from the coasts. Climate scientists have stopped warning us and are now protesting to force policy changes. If you continue to do nothing, you will have nothing left. Change your behavior humanity, or you will go extinct.

  6. fema needs diversity…. do they have a stock ticker or na >?

  7. I´m very scared for the children that will disappear and nobody will know.

  8. 😭😭😭🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🥰

  9. .#zZz#.⚡⬆️⬇️💀☢☣ЭКСПЕРЕМЕНТ – УДАЛСЯ???!.💀⚡КАК МЕЛ С ДОСКИ…💀⚡🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫💀💀💀💀⚡⚡⚡

  10. Homegirl can get D.

  11. I live on the edge of the North atlantic. Risk we take. Mother nature shows no mercy. God bless those who had damage from Fiona and Ian. From the Maritimes in Canada to Florida.

  12. Have they said how many people are missing?

  13. Tell Biden to stay t.f there… we're fine. everything he touches falls apart. (orlando Fl here)

  14. Prayers from Australia 🙏🙏🇦🇺🇦🇺

  15. even at the height of the storm only ten percent of the state lost power

  16. God bless those rescue workers. I cannot imagine.

  17. I hope they are checking the homes of the elderly and children with disabilities first. Here’s my question, where’s the water, the food etc?!!

  18. It is called a CADAVER DOG. Don't sugarcoat this!!!

  19. Great video. you've remind me of what someone once said❤The richest people in the world build networks; everyone else is trained to look for work.” “There is a difference between being poor and being broke. I once attended seminar and ever since then i been waxing strong financially, and i most tell you the truth..

  20. Good thing DeSantis is spending the Florida taxpayer's monies on political theater.

  21. Maybe it's time we started to urgently address climate change. That will help much more than prayers.

  22. But who’s going to pay for it? The #republican #trash voted against #FEMA funding

  23. When deciding if you should leave, consider if you can survive and recover with no outside help! If not, GET OUT!

  24. Governor de Santa's doing a great job

  25. Devastating..prayers for all and lots of ♡
    I'm in Florida as well we were definitely spared in the area we are in..continue prayers for everyone..

  26. I hope the K9s don't get hurt in the debris.

  27. This Just illustrates Desantis’s Incompetence . He’s probably on the phone with the pillow guy and Donald Trump asking for advise

  28. I’m volunteering with Team Rubicon USA to help out with tree and debris removal starting Friday. I’ll be there for a week of 12 hour work days. We are already operational with route clearance crews working from a tent camp set up in a parking lot.

  29. Vote red! They will keep you safe

  30. Karma! Florida should not have snubbed the victims of Hurricane Sandy! You can blame Rubio and Desantis!

  31. Vice President Kamala Harris sound like Hitler!!! wanting relief by the color of your skin!
