  1. Why was it so deadly? …

  2. Where are these people staying? They’ve got no place to go, probably little money since they’re lost their cars, their homes, in many cases their employment.

  3. That's the price you pay to live there. How many times before we stop building in these areas and bailing them out?.

  4. As always, they don't think it will be so bad.

  5. 🙏 TURN TO JESUS TODAY(Romans 5:9)because God is about to unleash His full blown wrath on this whole world very soon and Jesus is our only hope, you do NOT want to be here!🙏
    Nahum 1:2-10 KJV
    2  God is jealous, and the LORD revengeth; the LORD revengeth, and is furious; the LORD will take vengeance on his adversaries, and he reserveth wrath for his enemies. 

    3  The LORD is slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked: the LORD hath his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.

    4  He rebuketh the sea, and maketh it dry, and drieth up all the rivers: Bashan languisheth, and Carmel, and the flower of Lebanon languisheth.

    5  The mountains quake at him, and the hills melt, and the earth is burned at his presence, yea, the world, and all that dwell therein. 

    6  Who can stand before his indignation? and who can abide in the fierceness of his anger? his fury is poured out like fire, and the rocks are thrown down by him. note

    7  The LORD is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him. 

    8  But with an OVERRUNNING FLOOD he will make an utter end of the place thereof, and darkness shall pursue his enemies.

    9  What do ye imagine against the LORD? he will make an utter end: affliction shall not rise up the second time.

    10  For while they be folden together as thorns, and while they are drunken as drunkards, they shall be devoured as stubble fully dry.

    The climate is surely changing in the name of Jesus!

    Job 38:22-38 ISV
    22 Have you entered the storehouses of the snow or seen where the hail is stored,

    23  which I’ve reserved for the tribulation to come, for the day of battle and war?

    24  Where is the lightning diffused or the east wind scattered around the earth?

    25  “Who cuts canals for storm floods, and paths for the lightning and thunder,

    26  to bring rain upon a land without inhabitants, a desert in which no human beings live,

    27  to satisfy a desolate and devastated desert, causing it to sprout vegetation?

    28  “Does the rain have a father? Who fathered the dew?

    29  Whose womb brings forth the ice? Who gives birth to frost out of an empty sky,

    30  when water solidifies like stone and the surface of the deepest sea freezes?

    On the Heavens
    31  “Can you bind the chains of Pleiades or loosen the cords of Orion?

    32  Can you bring out constellations in their season? Can you guide the Bear with her cubs?

    33  Do you know the laws of the heavens? Can you regulate their authority over the earth?

    34  “Can you call out to the clouds, so that abundant water drenches you?

    35  Can you command the lightning, so that it goes forth and calls to you, ‘Look at us!’

    36  “Who sets wisdom within you, or imbues your mind with understanding?

    37  Who has the wisdom to be able to count the clouds, or to empty the water jars of heaven,

    38  when dust dries into a mass and then breaks apart into clods?

    Jeremiah 25:32 KJV
    32 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, Behold, evil shall go forth from nation to nation, and a great whirlwind shall be raised up from the coasts of the earth.

    Isaiah 24 ISV
    The Earth is Judged

    1  “Watch out! The LORD is about to depopulate the land and devastate it; he will turn it upside down and scatter its inhabitants.

    2  It will be the same for the lay people as for priests, the same for servants as for their masters, for female servants as for their mistresses, for buyers as for sellers, for lenders as for borrowers, and for creditors as for debtors.

    3  The earth will be utterly depopulated and completely laid waste — for the LORD has spoken this message.

    4  “The earth dries up and withers; the world languishes and fades away; heaven fades away, along with the earth.

    5  The earth lies defiled beneath its inhabitants; because they have transgressed the laws, violated the statutes, and broken the everlasting covenant.

    6  Therefore the curse keeps on consuming, and its inhabitants are declared guilty. Furthermore, the inhabitants of earth are ablaze, and few people are left.

    7  The new wine evaporates; the vine and the oil dry up; all the merrymakers groan.

    8  “The celebrations of the tambourine have ended, the noise of the jubilant has stopped, and the mirth that the harp produces has ended.

    9  No longer do they drink wine accompanied by singing; even beer tastes bitter to those who drink it.

    10  The chaotic city lies broken down; every house is closed up so that no one can enter them.

    11  There is an outcry in the streets over wine; all cheer turns to gloom; the fun times of the earth are banished.

    12  Desolation remains in the city whose gates lie battered into ruins.

    13  So it will be on the earth and among the nations— as when an olive tree is beaten, or as gleanings when the grape harvest has ended.”

    Glorifying God

    14  “They raise their voices; they shout for joy; from the west they shout aloud over the LORD’s majesty.

    15  Therefore, you in the east, give glory to the LORD! You in the coastlands of the sea, give glory to the name of the LORD God of Israel!

    16  From the ends of the earth we hear songs of praise: ‘Glory to the Righteous One!’ “But I say, ‘I am pining away, I’m pining away. How terrible things are for me! For treacherous people betray— treacherous people are betraying with treachery!’”

    The Universal Impact of Judgment

    17  “Terror and pit and snare are coming in your direction, you inhabitants of the earth!

    18  Whoever flees at the sound of terror will fall into a pit, and whoever climbs out of the pit will be caught in a snare. For the windows of judgment from above are opened, and the foundations of the earth are shaken.

    19  The earth is utterly shattered, the earth is split apart, the earth is violently shaken.

    20  The earth reels to and fro like a drunkard; it sways like a hut; its transgression lies so heavy upon it, that it falls, never to rise again.

    21  “And it will come about at that time, the LORD will punish the armies of the exalted ones in the heavens, and the rulers of the earth on earth.

    22  They will be herded together into the Pit; they will be shut up in prison, and after many days they will be punished.

    23  Then the moon will be embarrassed and the sun ashamed, for the LORD of the Heavenly Armies will reign on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem; and in the presence of its elders there will be glory.”

  6. Have friend who just recently moved to Naples in retirement.. he lost everything.

  7. Disgusting mainstream bs.

  8. I had plenty of time to evacuate from Sanibel. I "evacuated" off of that island 42 years ago. Nice place to visit, but I'm sure glad I don't live there anymore. And after Ian, no one does, at least for now.

  9. All of that land that is hit by hurricanes 🌀 are Native American grounds and the Europeans took the Caribbean and SW united states in the 15th century.

  10. We’ve only been warning about climate change for years but Republicans just don’t want to admit it

  11. Answer to the question wasn’t answered 👎🏽

  12. They underestimate the risk and gambled with their life.

  13. NBC…. NATIONAL BULL💩 CHANNEL

  14. That's a RR bridge you pointed at dude. You don't drive trucks on tracks. 3 RR bridges are out and that will slow any rebuild. not bringing in lumber by chopper.
    No rail no rebuild.

  15. Not worse than Katrina… did you learn NOTHING?
    Yer on yer own kids, don't look to FEMA or the gov.
    Need paper towels?

  16. Harp manipulation! 😢

  17. Why was Ian so deadly!?! Bro. These people live on a SANDBAR!! What kind of question is that!?!?

  18. 🤔Funny how you guys keep forgetting about Katrina and skipping Katrina that was a deadly hurricane tooo⚠️

  19. 💂🏻‍♂️🗡💂🏻‍♂️🗡💂🏻‍♂️🗡💂🏻‍♂️🗡💂🏻‍♂️🗡💂🏻‍♂️
    Welcome to Joshs gas war against The Duke Of Buckingham
    Where I think you’ll admit he’s way outta his depth

  20. Because old, stubborn wealthy republicans don't like to be told what to do, they'd rather die with their coin.
