My brother’s fiancé is finishing school in FL. Picked her up from the airport at midnight. I pray for everyone that can’t get out.
Prayers from Scotland 😢❤
Oh stay there!!
Hope everyone will get through this storm safely
🙏🙏🙏🙏
Excellent journalist on the ground, calling out the facts that some do not want to hear.
The way some of the most professional meteorologists are getting emotional when describing this storm is very telling. They can see in the models the untold lives and destruction this will bring. It's the burden of knowledge.
And respectfully, very sadly these are the folks that Project 2025 wants to get rid of. Can you imagine going through hurricane or tornado season without proper and accurate news on weather conditions???
@@happytraveller8953 Idiot.
a lot of scientist know what’s truly going on with earth and that’s why they’re getting so emotional about all these “unexpected” natural disasters coming. i watched a 4 hour scientific conference with scientists from all around the world coming together to warn us about climate change. it’s always been an issue but there is a point where things could finally be irreversible
I’m originally from the Philippines and now live in the US. When it comes to storms, storm surge is often the deadliest threat. A Category 5 hurricane making landfall during the day may allow for some response, reducing the death toll. But a Category 3 hurricane hitting at night can be devastating-rescue efforts become nearly impossible, floodwaters rise unseen, and live wires turn streets into deadly traps.
Now, imagine a Category 5 hurricane striking in the dark. The storm surge comes like a hidden monster, swallowing homes and neighborhoods. The howling winds drown out cries for help, and floodwaters surge without warning. Entire communities could be lost before anyone realizes the danger.
Even the US, with its advanced disaster preparedness, would struggle against such a force. I remember Typhoon Haiyan, the most powerful storm to hit my home country, which struck during the day and caused unimaginable destruction. A Category 5 storm at night would be apocalyptic, overwhelming even the strongest nations.
Make a movie about this bro 😂
Wow that is a terrific description.
I want to go to the Philippines
Omg praying for everyone especially if their staying home when they are clearly saying to evacuate for your safety god be with these ppl❤🙏
Midwest winters don’t seem so bad now…
Our UK winters are same !
Yet...
It only last a few months. The rest of the year it is beautiful 👍🏼
Right!
But Midwest beaches suck
Excellent simulation. It should be shown everywhere. Words are not as impactful as visuals. That flying debris bit is terrifying.
that table was solid AF though
Omg this is scary prayers from Chicago 🙏🏼🙏🏼
My God is anything even going to be left. I'm so sorry for those people. I hope that you got out safely
Praying Stay Safe Praying 🙏
If you haven't left already, please, get out quickly!!
Proverbs 22:3-- "The shrewd one sees the danger and conceals himself, But the inexperienced keep right on going and suffer the consequences." ✨
Yes. 👍
Thank you. 🙏
Nice scripture ❤
putin being GEY matters?
Water surge will be 4 meters that means youre not safe in the second floor. Thats a huge problem! While people have dodged the bullet by staying upfloor during Helene they cannot dodge it with Milton
Prayers 🙏😢from South Africa 🇿🇦 and be safe 🇺🇸
Get a life
@@HurrDellMaybe you should consider taking your own advice.
prayer from Milpitas, CA.
Same from right next door in Fremont
As a Brit, sending my best wishes to the folks in Tampa Bay and Fort Myers’s. Please please get out of there, this storm is unprecedented
Prayers your way.❤
The ocean has absorbed heat and converted it into super fuel? Spreading ignorance like that is irresponsible.
Prayers from Germany 🥹🥹❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Joining you in Germany
My prayers are with everyone falling foul of this horrendous storm. May God be with your u all
Everyone has ran away, but theres always a reporter stood in the danger zone, then cries out for help?!?!?!??!?!?
I'm sure they have special vehicles like the ones FEMA use.
@@christiansebastianlauritse2404 Probably do 😁
Maybe if the storms keep getting worst and knocking down millions of dollars worth of recent construction, they will stop building and leave Florida for good.
agree. Most of Florida wasn't meant to be lived on. Especially barrier islands. They don't even understand why it's named like that 😢
Florida be underwater soon
Prayers
Wait 'till next year!! 😂
Prayers from India 🙏🇮🇳
Not in Sarasota right now, but I pray to everyone to be safe.
The best video of what's happening during a hurricane! The message is there...🙏🙏
Tremendous storm. Wettest storm from the standpoint of water. 💦
But a sharpie and a paper towel roll will take care of it😅
lmao
I wouldn't live in Florida. During hurricane season
People make it worse than what it is really if you just stay out the way you good born in west Indies and now in Florida live through countless storms
So glad I stayed in California. Totally worth the higher price.
@@scubigaza5445 Oh ok. Everyone stay put, scubigaza says not to worry. 🙄
Glad you’re not in charge. 😂😂
@@CarlosRamirez-wb7zu Except for wildfires and earthquakes…😂😂😂
Build massive Houses 😅😂 ... The roof is a Joke ??
Yet they keep building their houses out of wood and cardboard walls...
No, here in FL we have the strictest building codes in the US. New buildings and homes are CBS construction and impact resistant windows that are rated to 200 mph. Everything is steel reinforced and strapped into the solid-pour 18" thick monolithic slabs. Trusses are strapped into steel reinforced solid-pour tie beams and all doors and windows have steel reinforced solid pour sills and lintels. Our houses are far better built than the ones up north.
@@JohnVelcofskynah on the west side of Florida the construction of houses are not compared to south east side of Florida
@@JohnVelcofskyI’m really surprised no one has come up with concrete dome houses? In high risk areas like Florida. They might not look aesthetically pleasing but damage would be minimal
@@JohnVelcofskydoesn't do much gd if the water is above ur roof
owning a EV is probably not the brightest idea in this area...
Why do Americans need that much convincing lol
IKR!!!
Not the sharpest tools in the box
Because people don’t believe it until the see it 😢
Because most yanks don’t have two brain cells to rub together.
Half of Americans have sold their brains and turned into Trumper’s.
🙏🙏🙏🇨🇦♥️ from Canada
This is so heartbreaking all these people suffering and what about all the animals
God bless them 😭
th-cam.com/users/shortsH5eXuHCjE0M?feature=shared
I really don't understand why these homes close to the coast are plywood and sheerock built. Why don't they use concrete for homes in FL? I mean, I don't get it... Same in OK... Tons of tornadoes yet weak home construction...
Prayer for Florida
Hope everyone made it out safely! Love you all❤
Please 🙏 leave..Take your pets, family and go..🙏
Thank you for the simulation. That was incredible
My prayers 💙🙏🏽
Fast moving storm. Good. Speed rarely feeds strength.
Actually it's moving quite slow. That's why it has gathered so much momentum.
You’re an idiot.
Nighttime hurricanes are absolutely frightening..
Been through them and cannot see anything until damage is done.
Prayers to all from Southeast Florida 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Honestly I would just leave the city because I'm a scaredy cat and it's safer to do so but I had never seen the dangers of being in a house during a hurricane. Educational. Bless all who are in harms way today.
Save yourself, your animals. Save the lives of the rescuers. Be adult and responsible. There were strong floods in the South of Poland recently. People supported by ecologists who protested against building dams two years ago, lost everything this year. SAVE LIVES PLEASE.
My heart broke for those who didn’t leave due to lack of money that what I read about family of 9 mother and father and 6 children and her mother in law and the dogs. I cried so hard and I hope all people who stayed will be safe 😔
2:09 thats horrible. Hope everyone would be alright and get through the storm safely
Damn ! This hurricane is everything but a joke ! Flee the area right now !! Prayers from France !
According to historical data " That ocean " is around 29-30 just as it has been for the past 5 year's+ at this time of year .
Only thing that's different has been the 3 X class solar flares that's impacted as Milton grew , putting unprecedented amounts of energy into the atmosphere .
No Abandonen los Animalitos Ellos dependen de, Nosotros,😢❤
Stay safe out there.
When Will the storm arrive? Im from Denmark. So dont know the time there.
I think the latest projections are late tonight or early tomarrow. So around 14-16 hours from now. Though this can change. There are storm chaser and others who will be watching it the whole time u can look for.
Leave where ?? Did you provide tax payers a place to live or our taxes went overseas?
TRUTH!!
Зеленскому ушли Ваши деньги. И дальше будут идти.
Praying... May God bless us!
Omg..whoever hasn't left yet pls stay safe...this is really bad. 😪🙏
This is what happens when you make a home comprised of cardboard and then sheets of compressed wood
If you aren't physically unable or financially unable to get out of the pathway, Don't let me see you crying on TV next week because you got hurt.
Remember hurricane Katrina in new Orleans or hurricane Harvey in Houston so yeah plenty of people rember what floods up to the roof and loose everything 😢 so these florida people should now understand .
Praying in New Jersey
recite the prayers please
Our sincere prayers from Turkey❤
I’ve never never ever seen prayers work, so I just hope that everyone gets out and is safe.
WHY HELENE DIDN'T GET PUBLICITY PREPARATION FOR THEIR DISASTER!!!!😢😢😢😢😢
😔😔😔😔 God be with everyone. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Your god caused this, because he is responsible for everything.
Your god is your devil.
Some won’t leave and then beg for help in the water
Stay safe!
Just go on holiday up north for a few days and hope your house is still there when you return
cardboard houses
Most definitely not safe houses at all
Господи, спаси людей! С молитвами из России!😢🙏🙏🙏
i heard some people have decided to weather the strom....should watch this.
You are children of GOD! Pray in the name of Jesus Christ that God will give grace to you / all of us! Praise be to God and Jesus Christ! God watch over and protect you! Maranatha
The sun jist hit us with an x9 class flare!
Amen 🙏
Your god is the devil.
Your god is responsible for everything, including this death and destruction
Grow up
Hurricane Milton has the right to defend itself
Pray for America😢😢
God bless everyone.🙏🙏🙏
😭😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏 beautiful Florida 😭😭
Why is ginger still there is she there to show us why are they trying to kill her
That's not just 15ft of water, the waves will be strong too, no one wants to be dragged to the ocean for 24hours
Get the hell out of there!!!
God keep the people of florida 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Be SAFE ❤
Despite all this knowledge people still move to those areas. What was Einstein’s definition of insanity?
You have already spent more time on this hurricane that hasn't even hit yet than You've spent on the last hurricane Helene. And people are still missing. How can you not care!
Pray to God and pray persistently to keep evil away from you.
Great reporting.
90% of our heat….da fuq??!
The most useful thing abc have aired
This is a perfect storm. Please leave.
R.I.P Florida
This storm going to wipe Florida off the map I pray for the people.
A storm surge of 15 feet is 3 Gingers tall.
Great virtual view
Fast and pray today.
fairy wishes.
Your god brings this death and destruction because he is responsible for everything.
Your god is your devil.
@@badfairy9554 Cry harder
Hahahaahah that storm simulator XDDD look how poorly the wood is applied to that ''house'' so fake
Make sure you've got your umbrellas ready 👀
Be safe Ginger ❤
Repent ye nations 🙏🏽🙌🏽🙇🏽♀️
Praying to God to save the people in the path of this hurricane, a natural disaster which may be called an act of God, seems kinda odd.
I suppose people prayed when it rained for 40 days and 40 nights, even though God purposely did that to purge the earth of the humans of that time.
Are the highways gridlocked? Is there enough gas fuel for people to escape?
Not even a terrible hurricane would convince Trump supporters, it is extremely sad to live a life so full of lies and deceit.
You are a scumbag . Up yours .
500,000 died of COVID, refusing to get the vaccine. Nobody understands them.
Still whining about Trump huh....Oh wait....you're a millennial or a Gen Zer...I guess its expected of you...please carry on
@@alexmunch6118 you need to take a breather before a rant like that my dude.
I gave up on these people a long time ago. You can’t fix stupid.
WHAT THE HELL IS THIS NEWS LADY DOING THERE. GET THE HELL OUT. MILLIONS WILL NOT MAKE IT.
Only mother nature can remind the great USA of its place
