Yall ever think about how we are just watching another man’s life every day and how much we’ve seen them change. Bro is a dad doing rescue missions in a helicopter meanwhile 10 years ago he was kid just makin videos about cars
yep checked on all the guys either in person or by radio/phone first that is a good friend and boss right there who undrstands that material things can be replaced people can not be
Sorry for your damage. I live in Marshall NC and would like to say a big thank you for what you did for our neighbors last week. All the support we have received brings back faith in humanity in a world that was headed in the wrong direction. Sad it takes a disaster to bring us back together
Get real. He used the tragedy to get a tax write off and to make "content" to make even more money off of it. Take the blinders off if at all possible.
Man I never realized how long I’ve been a subscriber till I saw the dogs and how you can see in their face that they’re aging, it makes me sad but I feel good at the same time, feel like I’ve been a friend of the family’s for a long time :)
I'm a firefighter/medic who can't change oil in my car, but I watch your channel for stress relief. You bring joy to many people in different ways. I can laugh after 24hrs of heart breaking calls because of your channel bud. You are a Florida Treasure 100%
Cleetus, you have become so much more than just a race car channel. You have become a true role model to the entire TH-cam community in so many aspects of life. I feel so lucky to have stumbled upon your content all those many years ago. Thank you!
How on earth can you call doing such a dumb thing as having as much money as he does, and sty’s with his family and tk8ng the time to make a dumb video, if something had happen we would all be so our hearts go out for his family, but honestly he thought it was a joke enough to take time to make stupidity videos.
Cleetus, just wanted to say that my dad had a bad car accident during Huricane Helene here in SC, he is a HUGE fan of the channel. 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 have to say, I have never heard of you before I saw the video of you helping people in North Carolina in your “brand new refurbished helicopter”. Brought me to tears seeing those people and their properties destroyed. I researched you and discovered you were in the path of Milton. You have a good heart. I am glad to see this video and to learn your damage was not to bad. You have greatly impressed me and I will continue to follow you and watch your entertaining content Mr. Cleetus.
Levels have been reached when a buddy Flys over to the house to check in, in his helicopter. Thanks for all you do Cleet! Keeps our minds off daily stress....
Cleet say "doing survey work for (pause) people,.." The pause while he decided if saying 'FEMA' or 'government' would cause negative feedback among the red-caps. He's certainly conscious of staying a-political, even after doing disaster relief flights.
@@PiDsPagePrototypes 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.
It’s great to see you showing how important family is. You have a lot of young people who fallow you and need to see how wonderful being a family man is.
I've literally watched you grow up from the guys at 1320 video till now. I couldn't be more proud of the man and dad that you have become. I'm sure many others feel the same way. From you giving back like the last hurricane flying in relief survival of one yourself. Your a very lucky individual to be in the position your in. Never forget it. Continue to do good and help others. It always comes back around. Thanks for the update
Charlie was small but seemed like it was quite a bit stronger. Punta Gorda was a mess but the damage was really only bad in a small area(4-5miles wide). I remember seeing a decent sized brick building that just fell over.
I don’t usually watch the type of content this channel has. However, I love this channel because of the positive attitude you have regardless of what negative stuff happens. You joke about, deal with it and move on. You have funny, interesting friends and workers and the joking around makes it seem like the type of place I would love to work at if I knew anything about cars.
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.
If you'll supervise me, I'd love to help you out and, mainly, learn from you. At the very least, just hang out and have a good time while making small progresses in good company. 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!?)
This man is more to me than just a TH-cam channel. He is a loving caring guy. Rescuing people in a brand new helicopter and. Then he goes and checks on Sam first thing just shows how much this man love his people. I will forever be a cleatus supporter
So glad to see all that you’ve done since you started your own channel. You went from a young buck with a corvette doing all the stuff we asked to a true American hero with all the content recently. I’m out of Siler City NC and I want to greatly appreciate all the help you’ve done to get my neighbors back up and running. It just sucks though because all of the spots my family went to when I was growing up was all but destroyed but hey you can’t put a price on life
Dude I'm glad your all safe, glad all your places held up strong, heart breaking for so many people that have lost there homes or businesses, or have had them seriously damaged, keep doing amazing brother, you are one hell of a guy!
Won't be long before Rip is ripping around the track in a go kart. Seems not long ago my two kids were ripping around on power wheels, now one is graduated, and my youngest just got his permit to drive. They grow up fast, make the memories while you cam.
Fellow Floridian here & just found your channel days ago. Glad you guys are ok. Yeah, its eerie but cool when you're in the eye. It's so calm but you know there's only that 10- 20 minute window before the backside of the storm hits lol. We go out when were in the eye too & check stuff. It came right over me in Lakeland but I have no damage. All my trees are still standing but 2 of my neighbors have huge oaks on their house and another has an oak in their pool. Lakes & rivers are crazy right now. So grateful is the word of the day for me!
Welcome to the family! all this dude does is have fun and help people doin it for dale. good luck on your recovery and when the freedom Factory is up and runnin again stop by for some fun stress relief
I am so glad y’all faired as well as you did for what potential that storm had. This whole group are a bunch of rockstars! Also thank you Cleetus for helping in NC!
Glad you and your family, crew and blood, made it through safely. Also glad the FF and shop 24:00 was good. I appreciate that you checked on Sam before your properties. Be safe out there, thanks for all you do.
The reason you faired so well in the worst storm youve had has to be all the good karma you built up by helping all the folks you helped in the last hurricane...again that was an awesome thing to do and im glad you guys made it out ok
Garrett my name is John im from Gloucestershire England, iv been following you on Facebook making sure you and your family were safe and well during the Hurricane. All i can say is i am so happy and relieved that you guys made it through it unharmed. I thank the lord for that. Garrett if there is anything you need and i do mean anything please don't hesitate to let me know. Sending prayers love and best wishes from my family to yours. And may God bless love and protect all who have been affected by this terrible Hurricane. 🙏🙏🙏
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
Garrett, Brother. I can’t express our all emotion. I’ve watched you since the beginning and to see where you are now is amazing. Flying planes and Helicopters and have truly become a real life idol and a true American Hero! Love you Cleet! God Bless You and Do It For Dale!
@CleetusM Not too bad Cleet! I’m glad you made out ok. I live in Jupiter Farms on the east coast and our area seems to have fared worse. 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. We'll chock it all up to shock
My Aunt has a second commercial deadbolt for her home during storms like this she's old and I'm glad to hear a lot of people made it out just loosing power. Wishing everyone a speedy recovery
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.
Stacy, 5 months without electricity, that’s crazy! I really feel bad for what you went through! Thank goodness you were able to fix everything that was hit by that devastating typhoon for a thousand dollars. Thank you for sharing!🌟
Milton was rowdy indeed! I am so happy that all you folks got through OK and nobody got hurt. Very thankful that you gave us all a quick update. God bless.
Holy cow, I know I’ve been watching for a long time but seeing Holley fully grayed out in the face puts it in perspective. Been a minute. Keep it up Cleeter!
Cleet so glad y'all came out as well as you did. Great job with your prep and keeping your beautiful family safe. That's a dad for you right there. Prayers for everyone affected by the storm and hope y'all are able to get everything back to normal quickly!
So glad you and your family are safe and that the overall damage was minimal compared to others, thanks for the updates on social media. That video during the eye of the storm was such a trip how calm it was!!
the thing about garrett is, since his damage is minimal compared to others, he will more than likely help others a lot considering he was lucky. he knows he was lucky & he’s no dummy.
For the amount of big flat objects y'all have around the properties, you made it through so much better than I was expecting. Glad to see everyone safe. Kind of fun to have a quick runaround of all the toys too lol
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.
What are you saying? Those who lost their lifes and houses in the Hurricanes had it coming? And what about the hundreds of thousands of children that starve to death each year, god doesn't care?
You getting emotional on the podcast about North Carolina, is the same way we feel in Public Safety. You're right up there with veterans imo. Not many people (military, volly fire, ems, 911 dispatchers) truly REALIZE the the actual impact you make on your community until a natural disaster happens. As both volly fire/911 Dispatcher, 3ven in down times, i feel so much pride for my coworkers/constiuents! People helping is one of the most beautiful things EVER!
Let’s go Brother. Just a guy riding out a hurricane, nothing to see here. Then amount of mentoring you’re providing to Rip is immeasurable. Keep it up, good dads do thing to keep their families safe. Hell yeah.
Man thanks so much for coming to north carolina and helping us out in the foothills we really appriciate everything you have done for us. Not everyone would do what you have done for us here and me personaly sir want to thank you. If only we was able to get a crew to come down your way and help out I would be more then happy to.
You, sir are a prime example of what happens when Nebraska storm prep meets Florida weather. Nice job keeping the family safe and coming through it with flying colors.
Cleetus if the world was full of good dudes like you i couldn't even imagine. Thanks gor bring you snd takin ys all slong for the ride. You are appreciated.👍👍👍💯
You saw it all. From here to the Carolinas and back. and now this. It's a blessing that You and your family are safe with your house and property still intact. everything else is just stuff and replaceable. You guys are great and I really enjoy your TH-cam channel. Looking forward to watching a lot more of your videos.
Seeing you stay up overnight just to hold the door shut to protect your family and home really shows how good of a guy you are. Rip is lucky to have a good father like you raising him. God bless you and your family Cleet!
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. Thanks for the update, and thanks for keeping us posted. You're like family to us. Glad to know you and family are safe and sound.
This is when I started watching you a few years ago you made a video of the same place from a different hurricane and that’s when I started watching your videos , I’m saying let’s just be so happy that everything you own is not under water
Don’t forget Cleetus: to whom much is given, much is required. I am sure you will do your best to help people out all around you. God bless the Mitchell family!!
Wild to think you volunteered your time and flew to North Carolina in your beautiful little 500 and helped all you could, and to then literally exactly 2 weeks later get hit by your own hurricane.. 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...
that's why you board up your doors and windows when you have a hurricane coming.... happy you made out ok... I'm upstate, got hit by Helene... we were without power for a week before they got us back on...
0:11 OH ship wreck!!! Saw the video pic of the bleachers.... That's rough. Guess it's time to build em bigger and better... Let the weather make you upgrade right?
I’m reading some very interesting articles about the history of why it’s called Milton turns out the 5TH governor of Florida was named John MILTON he became governor in 1861 163 yrs later we have a category 5 hurricane named Milton
central florida here and i am so thankful we are all good here not too much damage. i pray you and your family and friends all stay safe and have a quick and easy cleanup!
I can’t describe the sound of that wind blowing through my front door. It was ROWDY
Glad your ok crazy stuff
Why don't you have shutters. Please tell me they're in the design of the new house.
Glad you and the family is safe, we get nothing like this weather here in cali
So glad y’all are ok. Been worried bout y’all all! Omg lil man is getting so big! Gonna be just like you cleet
@@MrUltraworld This! Grew up in Fiji and all windows had shutters
Yall ever think about how we are just watching another man’s life every day and how much we’ve seen them change. Bro is a dad doing rescue missions in a helicopter meanwhile 10 years ago he was kid just makin videos about cars
Yup still remember the whistles in the Corvette exhaust 😂
This is the realest shit ever man.
At least this one is an amazing human being and deserves the following he has. There are a lot out there who do not deserve it...
Very crazy to think I’ve been watching since pretty well the beginning and how far he’s come is insane
Feels like 10 years ago he was going for his first 8's with Leroy.
Thanks for checking in on Sam asap. Much appreciated, on behalf of everyone I feel.
Cleatus is a solid dude.
Ready to rescue him or bail him out of jail, whichever is more needed.
@@juztyn00get the supra out of jail first
First stop was to check in on Sam. Good move.
hell yea glad sams house and shop held up so good
He checks on Sam before the freedom factory, that's why I follow this man ♥
yep checked on all the guys either in person or by radio/phone first that is a good friend and boss right there who undrstands that material things can be replaced people can not be
i feel the same about matt from matts offroad recovery. when he bought the company and ole timer Ed lived there. he still does. same type of respect.
Hell yeah Brother
Sams a person… I think we all would in this situation.
anyone know what radio he was using?

Couldn't have said it better myself. One hell of an exemplary guy Cleet is too.
I realized the same thing man doggos are aging I was a kid when I first came across Cleets channel been watching since
I saw that too, old girl looking good 🥲
nah bro that just means we’re getting old
1st time I seen Cleetus was on 1320 feels like forever ago now
I'm a firefighter/medic who can't change oil in my car, but I watch your channel for stress relief. You bring joy to many people in different ways. I can laugh after 24hrs of heart breaking calls because of your channel bud. You are a Florida Treasure 100%
Treasure your mental health. It’s ok to put yourself first sometimes.

You should play some alanis morset music and set up a gofundme for your plastic fence
Brother......If you don't get out there and pull that drain plug......
The best part about changing your own oil is knowing that it was done right

Charlie was small but seemed like it was quite a bit stronger. Punta Gorda was a mess but the damage was really only bad in a small area(4-5miles wide). I remember seeing a decent sized brick building that just fell over.
All night here at my place I was just waiting for a window to go
I was having flashbacks about hurricanes Hugo and Matthew.

Can't wait til we get a 'heck yea brother' out of him.
Fellow Floridian here & just found your channel days ago. Glad you guys are ok. Yeah, its eerie but cool when you're in the eye. It's so calm but you know there's only that 10- 20 minute window before the backside of the storm hits lol. We go out when were in the eye too & check stuff.

The millions of dollars doesn't hurt either lol
Garrett my name is John im from Gloucestershire England, iv been following you on Facebook making sure you and your family were safe and well during the Hurricane. All i can say is i am so happy and relieved that you guys made it through it unharmed. I thank the lord for that. Garrett if there is anything you need and i do mean anything please don't hesitate to let me know. Sending prayers love and best wishes from my family to yours. And may God bless love and protect all who have been affected by this terrible Hurricane. 🙏🙏🙏
What a great comment John, seriously! God bless you man!🙏
@In_memory_of_Dad You sir are a class act of the highest order :)

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
Garrett, Brother. I can’t express our all emotion. I’ve watched you since the beginning and to see where you are now is amazing. Flying planes and Helicopters and have truly become a real life idol and a true American Hero! Love you Cleet! God Bless You and Do It For Dale!
@CleetusM Not too bad Cleet! I’m glad you made out ok.
I live in Jupiter Farms on the east coast and our area seems to have fared worse.
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.
We'll chock it all up to shock
My Aunt has a second commercial deadbolt for her home during storms like this she's old and I'm glad to hear a lot of people made it out just loosing power. Wishing everyone a speedy recovery
Glad you guys are ok. You have had a rough hurricane season bro. The power company will be working a lot of overtime.
Thanks for the update! Glad everything turned out as well as it did!
Your updates are better than most of the news stations. Thanks!
Thankful you guys are safe. Things can be repaired and replaced, but lives cannot. Hell yeah, brother! Prayers
Cleetus glad everyone is good man!! We love you up here in Indiana!!
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.
Stacy, 5 months without electricity, that’s crazy! I really feel bad for what you went through! Thank goodness you were able to fix everything that was hit by that devastating typhoon for a thousand dollars. Thank you for sharing!🌟
I’m working in Lakewood for peace river electric and passed by the freedom factory. So cool to see in person! Glad yall are okay and safe
Milton was rowdy indeed! I am so happy that all you folks got through OK and nobody got hurt. Very thankful that you gave us all a quick update. God bless.
Holy cow, I know I’ve been watching for a long time but seeing Holley fully grayed out in the face puts it in perspective. Been a minute. Keep it up Cleeter!
Thank you so much for the update. You, the crew, and all of the good people of Florida have been on my mind. I pray for the best of all of you.
Cleet so glad y'all came out as well as you did. Great job with your prep and keeping your beautiful family safe. That's a dad for you right there. Prayers for everyone affected by the storm and hope y'all are able to get everything back to normal quickly!
Glad you, your family, and your friends are still here. Thankfully, no major damage to your property.
you asked if we would watch storm footage and we pulled through for ya glad everyones okay in particular mr.Sam love that guy
Been wondering about you, glad you checked in.
So glad you and your family are safe and that the overall damage was minimal compared to others, thanks for the updates on social media. That video during the eye of the storm was such a trip how calm it was!!
the thing about garrett is, since his damage is minimal compared to others, he will more than likely help others a lot considering he was lucky. he knows he was lucky & he’s no dummy.
I just became a dad 2 months ago and couldn't imagine the stress - glad you guys are safe!
Congratulations brother. Welcome to the grind.
Congrats. The stress changes, but it never goes away.
congrats man
I’ve told my children, you never know how much your parents love you until you have your first.
For the amount of big flat objects y'all have around the properties, you made it through so much better than I was expecting. Glad to see everyone safe. Kind of fun to have a quick runaround of all the toys too lol
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.
What are you saying?
Those who lost their lifes and houses in the Hurricanes had it coming?
And what about the hundreds of thousands of children that starve to death each year, god doesn't care?
Intro straight to silence was eery feeling 😂 So glad you, your family and all the boys are safe.
You getting emotional on the podcast about North Carolina, is the same way we feel in Public Safety. You're right up there with veterans imo. Not many people (military, volly fire, ems, 911 dispatchers) truly REALIZE the the actual impact you make on your community until a natural disaster happens. As both volly fire/911 Dispatcher, 3ven in down times, i feel so much pride for my coworkers/constiuents! People helping is one of the most beautiful things EVER!
Absolutely. It is Amazin Grace!
❤🇺🇸
Seeing as everybody around where I live got hit with tornadoes some lost their lives I say you made out pretty good buddy
Glad to see y’all weren’t wiped out. Appreciate the help you provided in TN and NC.
Youre in our prayers cleet and fam! Glad youre okay!!
Let’s go Brother. Just a guy riding out a hurricane, nothing to see here. Then amount of mentoring you’re providing to Rip is immeasurable. Keep it up, good dads do thing to keep their families safe. Hell yeah.
Man thanks so much for coming to north carolina and helping us out in the foothills we really appriciate everything you have done for us. Not everyone would do what you have done for us here and me personaly sir want to thank you. If only we was able to get a crew to come down your way and help out I would be more then happy to.
Thankful you're safe brother
I’m so glad to hear you’re safe. I’ve been sitting here waiting for your next video.
You, sir are a prime example of what happens when Nebraska storm prep meets Florida weather. Nice job keeping the family safe and coming through it with flying colors.
Keeping family safe would have been to leave.
@@Lockwood360 Cleet addressed that in the video before the storm.
@dingleberries360 his house is rated for a category 5 hurricane. This was a category 3. He was safe, and so was his family.
@@richh9570 A rating isn't a guarantee. Don't gamble with your family.
🇺🇸 🇺🇲
This dude is the toughest, most genuine person i think ive seen..beautiful beautiful family too..thank god yall are going
so glad you both are safe. Thing can ALWAYS be replaced but you and your loved ones can't
Cleetus if the world was full of good dudes like you i couldn't even imagine. Thanks gor bring you snd takin ys all slong for the ride. You are appreciated.👍👍👍💯
gotta love garrett ❤
Prayers for you brother we are in Polk and got hit pretty bad out here we just gotta work together to bring back the community and rebuild better
You saw it all. From here to the Carolinas and back. and now this. It's a blessing that You and your family are safe with your house and property still intact. everything else is just stuff and replaceable. You guys are great and I really enjoy your TH-cam channel. Looking forward to watching a lot more of your videos.
Thank God for your life and your family 🙏🏽🙏🏽
As a fellow Floridian I appreciate you sharing what happened in your area. This coverage is so much more truthful than what we see from the networks.
So glad you’re safe! Hell yeah brother!
So glad you and the family are safe, I don't even know you, but I was worried for your safety. keep up the great work!
Seeing you stay up overnight just to hold the door shut to protect your family and home really shows how good of a guy you are. Rip is lucky to have a good father like you raising him. God bless you and your family Cleet!
So glad y’all are safe brother. Anything list is just stuff. You and yours are what’s important
1:40 i remember when you first got Holley and the turbskis!
Places Holley poops been awhile since he’s uploaded lol
@@fr0zen5929 dude no kidding.
Made me feel old af
I assume ol Holley almost instant fame and notoriety she has been enjoying her retirement and raising the next generation of old clets
Jeg også !!!
Glad everyone is ok we ain't had power long from Helena finally can catching up on videos lol
Glad you have a sat phone to keep in contact with the boys. You’re such a great friend, father, and role model for a lot of people.
Not sat phones. Nationwide walkies that use cell towers
@@joeblow8206 was going to ask about that walkie. what kind or brand?
@@basilhaq4317 I'm sure it showed in the video. Commercials before every video all over TH-cam for them
Do we know what brand radio?
@@mcmfabricationandadventure7667 pause the vid. You can even read the screen
Good to see the family safe, hunker down
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.
Thanks for the update, and thanks for keeping us posted. You're like family to us. Glad to know you and family are safe and sound.
“And falcon punched the front of her house with it” 😂😂😂😂 thanks for the laugh this had me rolling
Maybe next time they’ll consider evacuating beforehand
This is when I started watching you a few years ago you made a video of the same place from a different hurricane and that’s when I started watching your videos , I’m saying let’s just be so happy that everything you own is not under water
Glad y'all are ok!
Thankfully you guys are safe 🙏🙏
Don’t forget Cleetus: to whom much is given, much is required. I am sure you will do your best to help people out all around you. God bless the Mitchell family!!
Wild to think you volunteered your time and flew to North Carolina in your beautiful little 500 and helped all you could, and to then literally exactly 2 weeks later get hit by your own hurricane.. 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...
Karma is a thing
Glad y’all are safe.
Glad everyone is safe
that's why you board up your doors and windows when you have a hurricane coming.... happy you made out ok... I'm upstate, got hit by Helene... we were without power for a week before they got us back on...
Glad you guys are ok!
0:11 OH ship wreck!!! Saw the video pic of the bleachers.... That's rough. Guess it's time to build em bigger and better... Let the weather make you upgrade right?
I’m reading some very interesting articles about the history of why it’s called Milton turns out
the 5TH governor of Florida was named John MILTON he became governor in 1861
163 yrs later we have a category 5 hurricane named Milton
"We are going to bright-side that one." Haha, I appreciate how in the midst of chaos, you kept pointing out the good things. Onward!
central florida here and i am so thankful we are all good here not too much damage. i pray you and your family and friends all stay safe and have a quick and easy cleanup!
Glad to see you guys are okay - question... What was that walkie talkie you were using? 2:14
I'd like to know aswell
