I’m from the Tampa Bay Area and it rained for 24 hours STRAIGHT. From 2am Wednesday to 2am Thursday (and beyond that even). Then the wind was just relentless! Lost power and the silence made the sound of wind even louder. Thank goodness it’s over!
im from the north west of England, where it can rain for several days and night without stopping. in winter it can be days or weeks without seeing the sun theres flooding around here often nowadays especially since the last government right wing conservatives took away our flood defences on the rivers to re install it down south where the rich liive to protect their voters and their second homes
In that water nothing but water by lakes gators. I am a generational Floridian. Live in Polk County and we just took a direct hit including the eye from Milton. I am always amazed by people thoughts on gators. They truly don’t bother u unless you bother them. Gators truly don’t want anything to do with us and people who get eaten by them are those who go into their territory especially with their pets. Or during mating season or even when the females have laid their eggs. Other then that believe me they don’t bother us. An in these flood water u won’t find any since this is in the middle of a busy street and not near any lakes, ponds, or other bodies of water.
How many people do you think are attacked by gators? I've been swimming with gators since I was a child and never felt threatened. Its like saying you are going to be bit by a shark. These are actually more of an anomaly that doesn't happen unprovoked that often. @HorusTheGrey_17
When I saw that it was only (and yes, I know that word is crazy now) a Cat 3, I was relieved. It would have been SO much worse if it stayed at Cat 5. When that meteorologist cried about how fast it intensified, my heart dropped.
bro when this thing turned into a 5 I ended up having to take 2 anxiety pills because I lived andrew and I was like omg not tampa They arent build for this
Most famous celebrities, billionaires who lived in florida US. How come you sayin that their house was made weak. There are modern houses that destroyed. Also the florida stadium the crane tower has been knocked out. Most people too much pride on their head like your aircraft flew inside the eye of the storm. This is a comment of evil. This is the result of a true disaster without God from the bible dont add or deduct his holy words. Perfect and powerful hands!
Was it even at hurricane strength when it hit land? Seems like it was a very lucky scenario where it weakened to cat 1 or down to tropical storm intensity before landfall and it was only a lot of rain with a decent wind strength that didn't destroy a lot.
A real stickler for spelling , we know another who invents words who wanders the wilderness of his tiny mind , a creature who lies cheats and steals for a living ..?
It's insane that there are residents in need of emergency rescue in Hillsborough. Yet I'm in the same county and I some how still have power and no flooding. I am counting every blessing I have because I think I just used all of them this storm. Stay safe everyone... please
In Australia the saying for deterring driving around in floodwater is "If it's flooded, forget it" so many ppl do it and get into serious trouble. "Turn around, don't drown" is another good way to say it that I hadn't heard before. I live in Queensland and last Christmas we were hit by a cyclone and an ensuing 100year flood...it's devastating to say the least. Prayers to everyone affected from Oz, keep looking out for one another and you'll get through 💞🙏💞
That's that's crazy how it takes decades to build up land and buildings and houses, and then it all just gets taken away in the blink of an eye. We are like specks of sand in the eyes of Mother Earth. 🙏🏽

Nineteen years ago, New Orleans was hit by Hurricane Katrina that was at Category 4. We had a lot of wind damage but what was worse was our levees broke and flooded our city. Some houses were under water up to the roofs. Our local governments ordered a mandatory evacuation before the storm hit, but not everyone had personal transportation to escape and were stuck in the city during the storm. Those of us who did evacuate were allowed to return a week later after the flooding waters mostly drained away to assess our property damage but were not allowed to stay. Only after three weeks after power was restored to most of the city and surrounding areas were we allowed to return permanently.
It was so bad, I'll never forget it. Louisiana got screwed bad, and we've been trying to warn the rest of you ever since, like , this is the new normal, New Orleans still hasn't recovered, new orleans east especially.
I am an urban planner, after Katrina they taught classes on what New Orleans could have looked at to understand that the people didn't own cars. The information was literally at their finger tips
I'm an urban planner. After Katrina hit we had classes on how to use the census to find different kinds of information. One of the examples they gave was that New Orleans government could have looked at census data to figure out who owned a car. The information about who owned the car was literally on the census Data at their fingertips
I’m in fort Myers..the tornados were NO joke!! We are 60 miles from the impact of the storm..I’ve lived in Fl my entire life..the last 10 years have been INSANE with these storms..
It’s not unusual to be out of power for at least a couple weeks after a hurricaine. Water is a great electrical conductor I’m surprised people don’t get electrocuted from the downed active power lines more often. They have to take that into consideration too.
And this was only a Cat 3. Thankfully, the waters will recede in a few days so that power crews can come in a restore power. Houston bounced back after Beryl in 3 weeks
In a high risk areas for hurricane, why are officials allowing rebuilding? If you know there's high probability of hurricanes, there should be either stricter codes or don't build at all.
I called the FEMA help line. It took me less than 10 minutes to get help applying for disaster assistance cuz I have no wifi to do it online. People not getting help aren't looking for it.
So you are here lying because you support Kamila. WHY would she continually say Biden was competent when he clearly was not. So much so you idiots pushed him out. I will never vote for that trash.
Our hearts and prayers are with the people who are affected by Milton. As natural disasters are becoming more frequent, it reminds us how crucial it is to do what we do. Our goal is to build disaster resilient homes for America and we will continue to work towards it. We pray that God gives those who were affected in this hurricane the strength to face this situation.
And all those flood vehicles will be hitting the auctions in a few months. Popping up at your local used car lots. Only about 1/4 of them will have a flood history on the "auto history" reports.
The ones in the NC mountains are torn and smashed, along with flooded. They have rolled down flooded rivers with extreme force. So at least they won’t be on the market. The bad part is that some still had people in them when there was a flash flood, mudslide or the road gave way into the rushing water. Praying for FL from NC.
It is important to learn from these tragedies. As weather events become more severe, we will have "climate refugees" moving from volatile weather areas. We need to make this easier for people, so those without resources can relocate as areas become untenable. Governments and insurance companies will have data to identify these areas in advance. We have towns in Australia where flooding has made towns unlivable and the government has a buy-back option for homes to help people relocate.
@@tinygoat2531that's for sure, I can remember one of the hurricanes in 2004, after boss said to use your own transgressions to come to work or not safety is important, well guess what after I see a Hugh oak tree rooted up from the ground near me, I used my transgressions not to go, next thing you know I received a phone call "why I'm not at work ". and if I didn't go I would have gotten fired.

Will Floridians also have to pledge not to boycott Israel and Israeli products in order to receive aid or fund to rebuild their homes and business like Texas state after Hurricane Harvey in 2019? I love democracy.
I'm am so tired of saying to people deciding to move to Florida and any Floridians I cross... it's not called "MAYBE HURRICANE season" it's called "HURRICANE SEASON" for a REASON!!!! it's the number 1 place on the planet for worst possible storms on a yearly basis. I can't fathom how and why you would want to endure this terror and gamble for an entire season every year with your home and life. Florida is a beautiful place but not necessarily a great investment to settle with. May God protect and bring people to their senses.
@@BubblyEscapes Hurricanes aren't that bad. The Midwest gets much worse storms. Also you aren't seen flooding like this in most of Florida because water runs right off of Florida. I lived in Florida for a decade and never had any storm damage. People outside of Florida are terrified of Hurricanes and Alligators but driving on the highway is more dangerous.
That $750 was STOPGAP assistance, to be followed by other, better assistance. It was not the maximum amount of aid available, it was the MINIMUM. It was just the BEGINNING of FEMA aid!
@@georgelin8498 sure they will. Thanks to desantis, ins companies will not be paying out claims unless you can front 30grand in legal fees to make them.
The Flooded Apartment Complex, shown at 19:47. In 2024 it's now called "Cinnamon Cove". When I lived there from June 1980 to June 1981 (44 years ago) it was called W.T.Ward Apartments. I was a College Student at USF Tampa + I worked at Busch Gardens in Food Service. We had LOTS of rainstorms back then, but NEVER FLOODING.....I've NEVER seen anything like this! I lived on the ground floor, in a furnished 1-bedroom apartment & the rent was $150.00 a month. Since I only made $3.00 an hour part-time, my entire monthly paycheck went to rent, and a few quarters for the laundry machines! If I could go a week without doing laundry, I used that extra 50 cents to buy a can of beer from these "newly invented" convenience stores called "White Hen Pantry". 50 cents could buy a tall-boy bear can, too! How did I get this old? How did this place get this flooded? I feel so bad for that apartment complex, it was already VERY OLD back in 1980.
Hear that? 750 bucks is for your immediate disaster assistance right after this happens for things like food, water, medication etc and after that you are entitled to a lot more aid and assistance with temporary housing etc. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Excepts DESANTIS has been ignoring Harris n Biden calls til media put it out there. Now he sayin Biden is sending what we need but ITS STILL HIS EFFORTS.
@@IcariumGaming I thought it would hit harder based on it dropping to 4 and then going back up to 5 while making landfall sooner than expected. I guess there was enough wind shear to force it to calm in the final hours before reaching land.
If it's not the wind, it's the flood. If it's not the flood, it's the sinkholes. If it's not the sinkholes, it's the gators. If it's not the gators it's the humidity.
Praying impacted people follow the direction of Ms Bernatowicz and relocate. The floods, tornadoes and storms will continue to get worse, just like drought has impacted South America. Areas like Arizona and parts of some southern states will soon be uninhabitable.
17:35 Why is a resource being wasted with a reporter and her camera crew riding around when it should be for trapped people. Show it off when there is no disaster. Move it to an area where it's needed.
If the general wider public isn’t aware of how bad it is, they won’t open their wallets to help. Yes it stops it being used for its real purpose for a short space of time, but the financial benefit that that one trip could provide back to the community, should not be underestimated.
God be with all of you. Im surprised yet VERY much relieved the water isn't deeper. It is so heartbreaking that the people in the paths of Hurricane Helene and Milton have had to deal with so much in so short a time.
Any people mocking "poor people" with doublespeak then implementing horrendous programs on them when there were others across socioeconomics classes who didnt or wouldnt will probably be seen.
The odds of being attacked by a gator or venomous water snake aren't as high as you straight up getting nasty bacterial and viral infections due to half of the water your swimming in being sewer run-off and overflow.
It's not that big of a deal man, I lived through Katrina, having no food or water is a lot more of a pressing issue, trust me the wildlife is just as traumatized too.
Praying for all those who lost their loved ones, pets and their homes and belongings 🙏 Nature often captivates me with its sheer beauty, but this is a devastating reminder of how powerful the forces of nature can truly be. Praying for all those affected. Heartbreaking.
Why you need a high lift 4wd with snorkel kit, air boat on the roof rack. Completely justifiable expense. Codes need be revised to require a lifeboat for every residence. A canoe to save you.
The poor and the lower middle income people are suffering most; devastating consequences are awaiting for them. They need help; let’s help them; the federal budget should help them survive than funding wars around the world!
Where's Congress? Speaker Johnson will not recall Congress and says "calls for FEMA funding is premature" with more storms coming and still a month of hurricane season left.
Forgive them a little they're all at home on the campaign trail, that might sounds hollow, but it really is hard work plus there is about a month's worth of funding left so if they haven't come back by then then we should be mad! 🙂
@@jockyoung4491 They only have money because they are pulling it from their 2025 budget. Cant keep kicking reality down the road forever like they have with the actual Budget.
That would be admitting being wrong about just recently blocking more funding for FEMA. First(and worst) rule of politics; Never admit you or your party were wrong.
Geez….i use to live right where the hurricaine hit! So glad I moved from there. Praying for them. Hurticaines always spawn tornados big and smaller ones that rip through neiborhoods.
Apparently you dont follow the news Biden and Kamala used the FEMA money to bring in and house the illegals....Bodens press secretary said there was no money in t...the Dems denied the disaster fund For Americans...reported spent on the illegals the Dems denied it via Bidens press secretary THEN someone found and played on news channels with the press secretary years ago saying billions were released to hoous ...THE ILLEGALS....ta dum impossible to deny so the strategy Is dont look at US
Aw man you believe that? Desantis has handled this disaster with such class. go ask the people of florida how good he’s doing lol. You fall for the trap. My entire moms side of her family lives in florida throughout, they are liberal, they think desantis is a fantastic government
Lol. The news is actually covering it. so Florida is winning already. If this hit a red rural area there would be a media black out like what's happening up north. That's reality
It's too little, too late. The time to "get serious about climate change" was 20-30 years ago. At this point, what's going to happen will happen and there's not a thing we can do about it.
@@TheBrothergreenpeople at one point said it was getting colder this is how people actually paying attention know this is a scam by the rich and by scientists that want to get rich so they lie also if this was really about green energy we would use more nuclear reactors in this country Are there reasons to clean up the air and reduce what we put into it yes of course and we are doing that work but it's not something we need to rush or risk lives over
Climate change that's what they say To steal your money and you believe that! keep watching CNN and you will be full of crazy to . your part of the Problem. I bet this is Trump's fault right that's what they will say to you. And you will believe it sad.and crazy.
15 years ago I took an Environmental Studies course at UCSD. This has litterally been predicted. If they did ANYTHING to help prevent this stagnation- even putting more height between them and the water, they would be better
Well yes, it doesn't take a genius to predict that a midling hurricane will eventually hit any given city in Florida, give or take 20 miles/ give or take 20 years.
To raise a house or building is insanely expensive. To have a whole community do that would not be possible within 15 years though :( the situation is so tragic
Hurricane coverage from different countries offers so many perspectives. Especially the Hurricane Milton which was disastrous 😢Immersive Translate helps me stay informed across languages!
Awful cost of living closer to paradise !! Never drive in the flood !! can't see the deep ditches flipping your car over pin you upside down in the car in water !! I've seen it happen !!
It sure is strange you didn't cover hurricane Helene like this. I feel sorry for the people in fla, but there are places in NC, Tenn., Ga, SC that make this look like baby poo.
6:08 onwards. Could you please remove the irritating dramatic music from the background when you're speaking? It's such a pain in the ass when the background music is so high pitched, it distorts what you are saying.
This is suitcase City in Tampa Florida and I don't know why you're calling it vague Hillsborough county but this is right in the city and this is a low income neighborhood not just a Latino neighborhood. 15 in of rain
Let’s just pray that there’s no more hurricanes in this last month and a half of the season. I can’t imagine Florida being livable in the next 50 years. As climate change intensifies it will only see more storms of greater intensity. I would take the money saved to rebuild and move. You’ll end up saving money in the long run bc these storms are going to be a yearly occurrence from here on out. I feel so bad for these people. I couldn’t imagine waking up one day and your entire life was destroyed.
Watching the news about Hurricane Milton, it's clear the damage is severe. At 7:29, footage really shows how widespread the devastation is. Hopefully relief efforts will be quick to everyone.
It's funny that some people call immigrants "murderers and rapists", yet after every hurricane here in Florida that I've experienced everyone is glad to see a Juan show up and help with rebuilding their homes after hurricanes. Let this sink in, take all the time you need. Tampa USF BULLS stay safe!

People outside of Florida are terrified of Hurricanes and Alligators but driving on the highway is more dangerous.
This reporter is one belt away from a perfect Lara Croft Halloween costume.
That $750 was STOPGAP assistance, to be followed by other, better assistance. It was not the maximum amount of aid available, it was the MINIMUM. It was just the BEGINNING of FEMA aid!
Governors were given federal aid before the storm arrived so they could prepare for the emergencies.
Hurricane Camille made landfall as a cat 5 and caused catastrophic flooding in 1969. New England was hit by two hurricanes in 1954.
If they didn’t expect flooding means they weren’t required to get flood insurance. They’re screwed.
if you're not in a flood zone, fema foots the bill... assuming they didn't misappropriate the funds
The majority of this area is rental properties
No one will ever get approved for insurance coverage in Florida again after all this
@@georgelin8498 sure they will. Thanks to desantis, ins companies will not be paying out claims unless you can front 30grand in legal fees to make them.
80% of Floridians DO NOT have flood insurance 😢
How are the poorer neighborhoods?
Exactly
This is one of them. University Plaza is right by suitcase city.
@@seasthegal5521Fowler? Near USF ?
You're looking at one
The Flooded Apartment Complex, shown at 19:47. In 2024 it's now called "Cinnamon Cove". When I lived there from June 1980 to June 1981 (44 years ago) it was called W.T.Ward Apartments. I was a College Student at USF Tampa + I worked at Busch Gardens in Food Service. We had LOTS of rainstorms back then, but NEVER FLOODING.....I've NEVER seen anything like this! I lived on the ground floor, in a furnished 1-bedroom apartment & the rent was $150.00 a month. Since I only made $3.00 an hour part-time, my entire monthly paycheck went to rent, and a few quarters for the laundry machines! If I could go a week without doing laundry, I used that extra 50 cents to buy a can of beer from these "newly invented" convenience stores called "White Hen Pantry". 50 cents could buy a tall-boy bear can, too! How did I get this old? How did this place get this flooded? I feel so bad for that apartment complex, it was already VERY OLD back in 1980.
Hear that? 750 bucks is for your immediate disaster assistance right after this happens for things like food, water, medication etc and after that you are entitled to a lot more aid and assistance with temporary housing etc. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Let's face it, donnie never did know how government worked.
750 bucks will get you few days rent in your new place
750 in like 5 days in a hotel lmao
Meanwhile they will launch billions to other countries... great job government
It’s a loan tho people should know that
Excepts DESANTIS has been ignoring Harris n Biden calls til media put it out there. Now he sayin Biden is sending what we need but ITS STILL HIS EFFORTS.
Desantis said its was not as bad as they predicted.
Because it wasn't, it dropped to a category 2 when it hit, it was predicted to hit as a category 4
@@IcariumGaming I thought it would hit harder based on it dropping to 4 and then going back up to 5 while making landfall sooner than expected. I guess there was enough wind shear to force it to calm in the final hours before reaching land.
It's not as bad as they predicted but it was horribly devastating... did you see St. Pete?
DeSantis is an idiot.
That's why I was surprised by some comments regarding areas that weren't evacuated saying that the flooding wasn't expected.
If it's not the wind, it's the flood.
If it's not the flood, it's the sinkholes.
If it's not the sinkholes, it's the gators.
If it's not the gators it's the humidity.
Don’t forget the bugs and mosquitoes.
Roofing nails.
@@undertow2142and the wackos 😂
Yup Florida sucks, so glad not to live there anymore.
If it's not the time shares, it's the hotels.
If it's not the golf courses, it's the subdivisions.
If it's not asphalt, it's concrete.
I live in Tampa since 92’ and never see anything like this ever😱 no power yet for me to get back to work 😢
No power but you're on TH-cam wasting your phone battery smh 🤦🏾♂️
@@TheMoistBanana My work no power not my home.
All those impacted by hurricanes Milton and Helene, please apply for FEMA aid!
Praying impacted people follow the direction of Ms Bernatowicz and relocate. The floods, tornadoes and storms will continue to get worse, just like drought has impacted South America. Areas like Arizona and parts of some southern states will soon be uninhabitable.
True and it’s time people start building SUSTAINABILY in safer areas
I live in this neighborhood. I was amazed to see this.
17:35 Why is a resource being wasted with a reporter and her camera crew riding around when it should be for trapped people. Show it off when there is no disaster. Move it to an area where it's needed.
Gov DeSanctamonious said that he didn't want any help !
Showing the state of your community is important... that's what they are doing.
If the general wider public isn’t aware of how bad it is, they won’t open their wallets to help. Yes it stops it being used for its real purpose for a short space of time, but the financial benefit that that one trip could provide back to the community, should not be underestimated.
That Florida man that had his wife and kids look at the tornado should be thrown in jail for putting them in danger
Shocked he got someone to marry him.
@@19katsandcounting 😂😂
Oh shut up drama queen
it's a crime to encourage someone to look at a tornado???
@@Utoo4200 Prob not a crime but def a Darwin award nominee!
1:22 Would not deflating tires reduce vehicle’s buoyancy? Aren’t most tires “deflatable?” This lady is CLUELESS.
god bless these people I hope they get some relief !
My prayer for everyone 🙏
Wonder how people in jails, detention centers, and prisons are doing?
I bet they felt trapped throughout the hurricane...
prisons are weather proof and mostly made of concrete, they have the same protocols as anywhere else for a hurricane
Who cares?
@@Omar-et7sb I imagine they feel trapped a lot
@TheWildcard4542000 people who have the bare minimum level of empathy care. But it's good to know callous bricks of a human like you exist.
God be with all of you. Im surprised yet VERY much relieved the water isn't deeper. It is so heartbreaking that the people in the paths of Hurricane Helene and Milton have had to deal with so much in so short a time.
Any people mocking "poor people" with doublespeak then implementing horrendous programs on them when there were others across socioeconomics classes who didnt or wouldnt will probably be seen.
It's really bad here. Even non evacuation areas were hot hard. We still don't have power or water. We are losing people everyday.
How come no news mentions the dangers of alligators, snakes and other wild animals around that can be dangerous ?
That's a good point, Florida swamps are full of gators, pythons, rattlesnakes, bears and all kinds of creepy crawlies.
The odds of being attacked by a gator or venomous water snake aren't as high as you straight up getting nasty bacterial and viral infections due to half of the water your swimming in being sewer run-off and overflow.
It's not that big of a deal man, I lived through Katrina, having no food or water is a lot more of a pressing issue, trust me the wildlife is just as traumatized too.
There is great coverage of them. Washington DC is in the news every day! 🐍🐊🦟🕷️
Because they aren't. Alligators are less dangerous than dogs and any animal that's in that water is in no condition to attack anyone.
Prayers for all affected by this!
EVERY VIDEO IS STUNNING
Cant imagine people losing their homes which they have been living for the majority of their lives. I hope y'all recover from this crap.
Are they not forgetting is florida,crocodiles everywhere and snakes
Those amphibious vehicles are incredible!
That’s actually a lot of water looks like a lake wow
Praying for all those who lost their loved ones, pets and their homes and belongings 🙏
Nature often captivates me with its sheer beauty, but this is a devastating reminder of how powerful the forces of nature can truly be. Praying for all those affected. Heartbreaking.
Why you need a high lift 4wd with snorkel kit, air boat on the roof rack. Completely justifiable expense.
Codes need be revised to require a lifeboat for every residence. A canoe to save you.
And as like the storm cry for the children and the innocent souls who are being killed these days😢😢 0:39
The poor and the lower middle income people are suffering most; devastating consequences are awaiting for them. They need help; let’s help them; the federal budget should help them survive than funding wars around the world!
Friendly reminder that it was the republicans who voted against allocating more funds to FEMA in preparation for something like this. 👍
Ok who's paying? You?
@@lotharschramm5000 you includes you, they and me--all. A little donation can huge amounts, a huge difference! God bless you, my son!
Love and prayers to everyone in Florida
Where's Congress? Speaker Johnson will not recall Congress and says "calls for FEMA funding is premature" with more storms coming and still a month of hurricane season left.
Forgive them a little they're all at home on the campaign trail, that might sounds hollow, but it really is hard work plus there is about a month's worth of funding left so if they haven't come back by then then we should be mad! 🙂
FEMA has enough money for now, but Republicans could be a little more open to funding such agencies
@@jockyoung4491 They only have money because they are pulling it from their 2025 budget. Cant keep kicking reality down the road forever like they have with the actual Budget.
That would be admitting being wrong about just recently blocking more funding for FEMA. First(and worst) rule of politics; Never admit you or your party were wrong.
Geez….i use to live right where the hurricaine hit! So glad I moved from there. Praying for them. Hurticaines always spawn tornados big and smaller ones that rip through neiborhoods.
And your Governor is playing politics with aid. The Speaker of the House is refusing to add funding to FEMA and call Congress back.
Apparently you dont follow the news Biden and Kamala used the FEMA money to bring in and house the illegals....Bodens press secretary said there was no money in t...the Dems denied the disaster fund For Americans...reported spent on the illegals the Dems denied it via Bidens press secretary THEN someone found and played on news channels with the press secretary years ago saying billions were released to hoous ...THE ILLEGALS....ta dum impossible to deny so the strategy Is dont look at US
Aw man you believe that? Desantis has handled this disaster with such class. go ask the people of florida how good he’s doing lol. You fall for the trap. My entire moms side of her family lives in florida throughout, they are liberal, they think desantis is a fantastic government
@@joeymccarthy2846 Sure, dude. Whatever you say.
Lol. The news is actually covering it. so Florida is winning already. If this hit a red rural area there would be a media black out like what's happening up north. That's reality
@@joeymccarthy2846 What about MAGA Mike Johnson......he is the guy that has to call Congress back in.
I pray for Florida people come back normal soon please take care help each other take care all is well
Maybe im missing something why didnt they evacuate the elders pre storm?
This area wasn't a flood/evac zone
The damage is high, because the POPULATION in the AREA IS NOW 3.3 MILLION, as opposed to being only 600,000 when it has happened before.
So heartbreaking. This reporter onsite is really good.
No she’s not.
@@NeechOnelol. Well. I only heard one made up word. 2:13. Rain was unrelentless? I think the rain was just relentless. But let’s give her break. 😂
Florida is used to hurricanes keep talking about Hurricane Helene and North Carolina
Florida still don’t have flood banks or walls on the coast 🤦🏼♂️ very unprepared for regular hurricanes
Still build homes out of MDF wood
Just build and build, but without climate change prevention it's hopeless just to build.
You know those wall work both ways, right? The flooding comes from the rain. You would just slow the water draining away.
They need to take notes from the Texas hurricane how they build a wall after
@@kangarojack3814 That's only good for areas below sea level against flood surge. It's a negative when dealing with flooding from rainfall.
This is so painful to see. All these people are hurting so much, and they could still get another storm before the season is over.
My daughter used to live near there and she worked at that Millers - it’s by Busch Gardens
Okay...?
Cheryl you're a god send! Thank you for rescuing those babies over and over again! Blessings!
I am from Pakistan, I am very sad, you have suffered a great loss, our whole Pakistan is praying for you. May Allah save you from this trouble.
Thank you, Allah protect you and Pakistan as well.
My heart goes out to the people.
We need to get serious about climate change. Yes, hurricanes happen in Florida naturally anyway. But, we can build correctly and protect life.
Naw i'll believe in weather control, or the poles shifting before I believe the World Economic Forum's 2030 climate change agenda.
It's too little, too late. The time to "get serious about climate change" was 20-30 years ago.
At this point, what's going to happen will happen and there's not a thing we can do about it.
The real solution is to leave Florida, this is only going to get more common.
@@TheBrothergreenpeople at one point said it was getting colder this is how people actually paying attention know this is a scam by the rich and by scientists that want to get rich so they lie also if this was really about green energy we would use more nuclear reactors in this country
Are there reasons to clean up the air and reduce what we put into it yes of course and we are doing that work but it's not something we need to rush or risk lives over
Climate change that's what they say
To steal your money and you believe that! keep watching CNN and you will be full of crazy to . your part of the

And you will believe it sad.and crazy.
Prayers up for all!!!
15 years ago I took an Environmental Studies course at UCSD. This has litterally been predicted. If they did ANYTHING to help prevent this stagnation- even putting more height between them and the water, they would be better
The point is that THIS WAS PREDICTED QUITE ACCURATELY
Well yes, it doesn't take a genius to predict that a midling hurricane will eventually hit any given city in Florida, give or take 20 miles/ give or take 20 years.
To raise a house or building is insanely expensive. To have a whole community do that would not be possible within 15 years though :( the situation is so tragic
Hurricane coverage from different countries offers so many perspectives. Especially the Hurricane Milton which was disastrous 😢Immersive Translate helps me stay informed across languages!
Awful cost of living closer to paradise !!
Never drive in the flood !! can't see the deep ditches flipping your car over pin you upside down in the car in water !! I've seen it happen !!
Prayers 🙏
I hope they start give us AFFORDABLE INSURANCE‼️ LOWER COST OF LIVING ETC IMPEACH DESANTIS‼️
It sure is strange you didn't cover hurricane Helene like this. I feel sorry for the people in fla, but there are places in NC, Tenn., Ga, SC that make this look like baby poo.
Wow , that's an 80 % black neighborhood. We'll see how this plays out .

No grandslams this week
This is suitcase City in Tampa Florida and I don't know why you're calling it vague Hillsborough county but this is right in the city and this is a low income neighborhood not just a Latino neighborhood. 15 in of rain
Why do our public places look so ugly? Take out the signage. Tacky. Cmon America.
Let’s just pray that there’s no more hurricanes in this last month and a half of the season. I can’t imagine Florida being livable in the next 50 years. As climate change intensifies it will only see more storms of greater intensity. I would take the money saved to rebuild and move. You’ll end up saving money in the long run bc these storms are going to be a yearly occurrence from here on out.
I feel so bad for these people. I couldn’t imagine waking up one day and your entire life was destroyed.
I wonder how many animals and pets were taken to a safe place??
Yet homeless people were left to fend for themselves
Fema evacuated allt of pets with their owners too
No they weren't.
Watching the news about Hurricane Milton, it's clear the damage is severe. At 7:29, footage really shows how widespread the devastation is. Hopefully relief efforts will be quick to everyone.
The interviewer speaking to the woman crying in her car was not compassionate during that call. Maybe he is tired.
Insurance will let you down considerably.
Wow, mother nature is really mad at us. I wonder why?
The oceans create hurricanes, they mad about all the plastic.
It’s because you all turned to lgbtq 😂😂
There is no such thing as Mother Nature.
God is mad
Are FL state officials capable of tracking how saturated ground water is in different areas? It doesn't seem like it.
Implement a state tax or raise sales taxes to raise money for first responders. No way around it.

I like Florida very much and I feel for all those folks affected, but I could never live there with the crazy weather what seems like every year.
It's funny that some people call immigrants "murderers and rapists", yet after every hurricane here in Florida that I've experienced everyone is glad to see a Juan show up and help with rebuilding their homes after hurricanes. Let this sink in, take all the time you need. Tampa USF BULLS stay safe!
Yep nothing got fixed before illegal immigration
Yeah it looks like a category 3 hit there .
