The landfall of hurricane beryl brought severe conditions to Galveston, TX proper. Shots of wind damage, waves at the sea wall, waves at the pier, hurricane force wind blowing across the main highway with motorists meandering around, neighborhoods flooded with surge.

Good work filming, bro.

That traffic light has seen better days. R.I.P traffic light.

These news outlets should be buying you videography. Much more interesting to watch...

[@SeanSkyhawk]

I think they do

[@NikkiSkalsky]

So sad!!

[@ohsuzanna3223]

We moved here 2 years ago. The downtown area floods when there’s a cloudburst. (Asking why would anyone move here is like asking someone who lives on the Chesapeake bay or in Miami why would they move there.)
Aaaaanyway…. Clean up is underway and we have hundreds if not thousands of linesmen here restoring power. ✌️

[@Knaeben]

Why did they leave those flags up in a hurricane?

[@StacySelah]

To see if they could stand..

[@marquishafreeman]

Why are you so focused on the flags instead of the BIGGER picture??

[@Knaeben]

@@marquishafreeman Not sure what that comment even means.

[@user-lf4ux7dm7g]

Flags and a swinging stoplight. Must be a slow news day.

Nostradamus wasnt nobody worldly figure

[@leevahal900]

Whoda thought that living on the shoreline of the ocean would result in a little flooding.

Hope he don't step on a Rusty nail or broken glass Coke bottle from the 60s

[@daophan3709]

Drainages. Pipes. Pumps. Lifes jackets. Boats. The car man stacked on car in another youtube video about flooding.

[@charlesparham3802]

I don't there is any electricfied water

[@auburnjewels2]

Watch out folks. The ebeggars are aggressive over a cat1.

[@charlesparham3802]

Is that Charles Barkley surfing

[@DeoVindice85]

Is all the poop gone now?

[@uberdriver5711]

You should have gone to other spots. That part of galveston floods regularly. Especially when its high tide.

[@Tbrew-zd6xb]

Is this a wyte area?

[@uberdriver5711]

@@Tbrew-zd6xb it's just a very low area. Drainage isn't good either. It floods regularly or has backed up water from high tide.

[@Tbrew-zd6xb]

@@uberdriver5711 that area has alot of meth heads

[@shenmisheshou7002]

For those in Galveston that are on a bit higher ground but have to have flood insurance, the bad news for them is that flood insurance is likely going to triple in 2024. This is because the National Flood Insurance Program, the socialist program that makes it possible for rich people to get insurance for their summer homes by the shore, is broke, and congress is set to defund it in September. The only thing that will save it is a completely new rate structure by region, and under this plan, areas that flood regularly will see their rates triple, while areas where it only floods every 50 years, will see their rates drop by about 1/3rd.

[@charlesparham3802]

Didn't even take the flag down

[@blinddiecast]

same shit just a different year, we are already desensitized to it, just like the stupid fires in California same shit just a different year

[@TimAtkinson-qs6sv]

It astounds me why people continue to live in these low line areas. These weather conditions continue every year and getting worse. I’m empathetic but, starting to lose sympathy. Good luck to all in any case!!!

[@jabreck1934]

The only reason it’s possible is because flood insurance in Texas is covered by FEMA.
Same in Florida. Without federal tax dollars these states would collapse

[@Trtevoorryu]

If you worry about the storm, you'll never enjoy the sunshine

[@kathyyoung1774]

No, this has been going on forever.
