Very good deep concerning report from Danny. And excellent lead questions about the UNREAL DESTRUCTION to communities asked by one of the anchors. A lot learnt here as we approach the PEAK OF HURRICANE SEASON.
Good on you for using your service to try to locate your husband in this catastrophe. Stay calm. I'm sure it's service disruption and you will hear from him soon. Sending you positive energy. It' WILL be okay.
These ladies who stayed and reported the news for the world, are their homes still there? That would be sad that they had to stay on this job and not know if their homes are gone.
It's part of the new diversity policy. "There shan't be more than one female redhead at the news desk at any given moment". It gives other colors more opportunity.

If US states that have regular large impacts from such events had an ounce of common sense about them they would junk the private insurance industry and centralise the risk pool via a government backed democratically owned and operated single state insurer. Premiums would fall through the floor and cover would be extended to all. This is why socialised medicine is vastly superior to anything the USA can provide, the insurance pot is centralised which massively lowers costs of administration while massively increasing the amount in the pot available to all in need as they need it. No profiteering co pays nor additions, just straight forward cover, from birth to death, for a damned sight less than any private insurer could effer offer no matter if its flood insurance or car insurance or health care.
@@mpk6664 Oh don't talk bollocks, it was not called a cat 5 because it did not achieve the sustained wind speeds of a Cat 5, as for insurance companies the damage no matter if its a high end cat 4 or low end cat 5 is the same, i.e. catastrophic.
@@cjxgraphics Most emergency services now use encrypted digital radios which rely on repeaters (which function like cell towers) for anything beyond 1-2 blocks range. Lose your infrastructure and you lose your radios making emergency response almost impossible. The folks who sell them these expensive systems gloss over their vulnerabilities and the people who buy these expensive systems usually know almost nothing about radios. A perfect path to failure.
@@Birdbike719 Most Hams have their own generators, batteries, and radios in their cars which can be ran for a week+ without plugging into wall power. And if your power is running low a call out to local Hams will have more brought to you- Hams work together to help each other. Effective antennas can be as simple as a wire tossed over a tree limb, and there's plenty of hand-held radios out there. Hams have historically always been ready when disaster strikes, and they're working in all the affected areas right now, but you don't necessarily see them. Media doesn't give them coverage anymore but they're out there. When the Bush administration brought us the "Patriot Acts" and created FEMA, the entire way disasters are handled was changed. You can't just walk up and volunteer your services anymore. You have to study and pass several ICS tests where most of what is covered isn't related to communications and is useless to Hams and what they do. You also have to pass a Federal background check. And then you have to become a member of an officially approved and registered organization being allowed by FEMA to help. By law FEMA equals god in a declared disaster zone, and they don't want your help or mine. So where most Hams once volunteered and were put to good use, only a few now do. So if the government and emergency workers have no communications it is FEMA's fault. There are more Hams in the US than ever before; licensing is now easy and the gear relatively cheap. There could be a Ham in every car with every emergency worker and at every place where communications are needed but until FEMA gets it's act together and stop making it so effing hard to help most Hams are just going to stay home leaving everyone else screwed.

Nope and insurance usually finds a way to screw you and not pay.
I believe there's and exception, "but for an act of God", or some such.
This is the reason they didn't upgrade Ida to a cat 5. Insurance companies won't cover cat 5 storms IIRC.
Every condition was met to be upgraded.
