In his accident he had a traumatic brain injury, and his recovery is very slow. One thing that really wakes him up and brightens his eyes is putting on the latest Cleetus video and letting him watch it. Just wanted to say THANK YOU for making a really positive impact to those impacted by the recent disasters including my dad. You have really brought peace and happiness to my dad and family during this trying time for us! Keep it up sir!

I am glad to see this video and to learn your damage was not to bad. You have greatly impressed me and I will

      Why would it cause negative feed back. This is part of what the government is for. Right now, because they have an administration that is all about politics and political correctness, rather than protecting and serving, they are doing a suck job. The only thing that the "red hats" would be upset about is that the government is not doing the job the red hats would expect them to do.

    I am glad you checked on the old man and all of you got thru this OK. I do not mind calling out the old man because I am 76. I have played with old cars and motorcycles all of my life, well since 1964 when I got the first bike. Now all of that is mostly history because of my back problems. I still have the toys but can do very little as far as working on them or riding the Harley. The 35 Ford has not been out since 2005. I am on the second Slingshot at around 150,000 miles between the 2 of them. I know the sounds of the storms also, we stayed in Georgetown, S.C. for Hugo. I am glad the family and you are fine after this storm.

Originally from North Texas, I'm not all too experienced with these storms. (I'm mainly used to super cells and tornadoes) USAF had me spend a year in Florida surrounding Michael which sparked my interest in hurricanes, and now, still on the coast further north in VA, they continue to fascinate me. I never knew they could track like Milton did. (East side is usually the worst but how's that work when it's traveling almost straight East!?)

    I live down in Port Charlotte and I just had a 30x50 metal building put up to build my dream wood shop just 2 months ago. Not a scratch. I couldn’t believe it. I was so worried about it. We were so blessed. As far as your front doors. I’ve built houses down here in FL for 20 years now. The standard front doors they use in general construction are garbage. We just started using a company out of Sarasota that builds these metal entry doors that are just beast. We’ll never use standard entry doors again

    We have a few fatalities nearby.
    Our property sustained damages from two freaking tornadoes! Thank goodness the house is ok and most importantly we are safe. We are also on generator power.
    We are grateful. Our hearts go out to those who are suffering after this storm.

      I believe he underestimated his loss. Between his house, the Freedom Factory, and his roll up doors, I'm seeing way more than 20k in damage. Replacing the roof on his big house will be over 20k. The fence is also very expensive. It all depends how much is salvageable. The carport would be over 25% of 20k
      The funny thing was the concern over the new chicken coop.

    Hey Garrett, I know how you feel. I live in the Philippines and back in 2021 we had super typhoon rai (locally known as odette) roll right over the top of my house. I have lived in areas where there were earthquakes, hurricanes, and tornadoes... I can tell you beyond a shadow of a doubt that odette was the scariest thing I have ever experiences weather wise. The damage to my land was extensive. Somehow my house stood strong. It only cost me about $1000 to fix the damage. But the worst part was being without power from December 2021 through the end of May 2022. the entire power grid had to be rebuilt. I pray that you all are able to get back up and running soon. I also pray that everyone gets the emergency services that they need. God bless and stay strong.

    All I can say Cleetus is this. God looks out for those that look out for others. You put other folks needs on top priority and don't hesitate to use the resources at your disposal to assist others in their time of need. So say a thank you for your blessing and continue to do what you do best. You touched a great deal of folks lives a week ago. You asked nothing for it. You have been blessed by God in your own time of need. Things could have been much much worse. What you do have to repair is minimal for a storm the size that your family weathered. No injuries, minimal damages, Consuela in great health, Your businesses still mostly operational. Bit of elbow grease and some time and you are back better than before. Hug your wife and kids and be grateful.

    My Aunt just bought a house (cbs) in Spanish Lakes in Fort Pierce about 5 months ago. A tornado picked up one of her neighbors mobile home and falcon punched the front of her house with it. The frame from the trailer speared through the remaining roof, went through the wall, and ended up in a bedroom. Luckily she wasn't in that room at the time.
    I don't have a heli, but a rescue mission ensued during the storm. She is fine, house is not, car is not. Many people died in there yesterday. Shits crazy.

I know that there will be people that will be crappy because you are doing well in life (through your own hard work and dedication) but I feel that even with being in the bullseye and ending up IN THE EYE!!!! CRAZY!!!! The damage you sustained was minimal, not only due to the forethought of how you built your home and other structures, but also because you sacrificed and gave so much time and effort to help others in need several states away.. You were looked after due to your selflessness.. I truly believe that.. We need more good people in the world...
