- At least 135 people have been rescued from the Great American Assisted Living Facility in Tampa, where first responders found residents in water up to their waists, according to the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office. CNN’s Isabel Rosales reports. #CNN #News
Don’t return these people to their place because the next thing you know there’s going to be a mold problem, etc. they need to be in a new facility
bye bye birdie
That’s true, but then you have to deal with a different problem. Where are you going to put them? it’s not like real estate isn’t going for a premium in Florida and with so much flood damage. In other places there is limited space.
Black mold inside flooded walls becomes deadly too quickly. I'm grateful to be alive, I was moved to HUD housing. The VOCs volatile organic chemicals at my old place were off the charts. I had severe double pneumonia over and over. That's all I know about flooded walls, also the flooring traps mold too.
@@TimberIyWalzwhat a sad existence you've prescribed yourself
You’re absolutely right there’s no way they can return.
Healthcare workers are not equipped to manage a major evacuation of residents. These are the most vulnerable folks during a disaster and require extra help. We need to examine the realities of evacuating people during these major climate events
The fact that families probably evacuated and left their elderly family sitting in assisted-living’s home is the problem. People do not care about their elderly family members.
women such as yourself should be seen but not heard
That's just what we need, more government employees on the payroll conducting studies. We already have plenty of chiefs, we need more Indians
@@reneeb.8351 What makes your assume family members don't care? What is it based on? Have you considered the possibility that some family members couldn't get to the facility, because roads are closed? Is there a possibility that some family members live out of state? It sounds like the facility erroneously thought they were safe. If so, they probably told family members their loved ones won't need to be evacuated.
@@reneeb.8351 It's not the family's responsibility.
There was a time when people cared for the old and the sick, the less fortunate we truly live in a disposable Society
When a native American got too old and became a burden on the tribe, they would crawl off into the woods and die.
There are people who still care. The first responders are simply overwhelmed.
@@George-f8hSorry I DO believe the responders care but this was a management/government ownership not the the responders job to make sure that assisted living residents/seniors are safe above all it is a real no brainer ....shameful someone drop the ball BIG TIME ...!!!!!😢
Why wasn't that bus used to evacuate these people before the storm? Shelters were open but underused.
These people have complicated problems
@@lf3361I know, I'm one of them but far north. A shelter was powered with generators just for anyone needing oxygen, etc. All shelters were underused, they had so much room but under 2000 came in.
they didn't have to evacuate because they are not in a n area considered a flooding area. This was unexpected.
Good question this didn’t make no sense at all, why weren’t they evacuated.?
I kept hearing on the news that shelters were open and had lots of room. You can’t make people go to a shelter.
This is my ultimate nightmare. I’m 77 and want to live in my own home until I die! Also I live on a hill!
I wish you health & happiness & independence 🙏❤
Glad you got the pick of the lot boomer. Stay safe.
Vote blue then
Thanks to the workers in nursing home and what they do to help, etc.
These poor people, they must have been so terrified.
espeically with the governor they've got... terrible
Politicizing this disaster is just plain sick. Couldn’t happen if American people themselves did not participate in the insanity.
It should be. The government screws these people out of their social security and Medicare. These nursing facilities, charge exorbitant fees, and have subpar care.
Are you new in this country?
@@leonblack2651 I'm born in the U.S.A and the OP makes a valid statement. How much of this aid mistreatment is politically motivated? Fake news confuses things even further. All of which the people perpetuate on both sides.
@@leonblack2651 They arent. Wrong Desantis is a beta cuck btw, not that you don't agree hehe
Exactly! I fuxking HATE politics.
Give the nurses a raise please!
I hope we all know that it doesn't matter who is in the 'top job' because this is a systemic problem - greed. We have allowed many of our economic sectors, to take advantage of the American people. It's disgusting and frightening for the future of our country. My husband and I will be retiring in the next two years n another country. We are absolutely worried that SSI will no longer be funded. we'll have to rely on his pension, a 403 (b) and a very prolific Investment account with my Tracy Britt Cool Consulting my FA. Our national debt is bloating and expanding every month. Our government needs to get spending under control and cut the federal budget.
I'm headed to Thailand or the Philippines in 4 years. What country you moving too?
I know this FA, Tracy Britt Cool Consulting but only by her reputation at Goldman Sachs; even though she's now involved in managing portfolios and providing investmnt guidance to clients. I have been trying to get in contact since I watched her interview on WSJ last month
Her name is Tracy Britt Cool Consulting.
You can glance her name up on the internet.she's renowned and has quite a following. So it shouldn't be a hassle finding her.
@@JohnSavage-l7iI have a sister in Sri Lanka, should be easy for me to settle in
This is upsetting! Someone clearly dropped the ball and should be held accountable. As much as these facilities charge, why didn't someone take the initiative to move them? I understand this is an area that's not prone to flooding, but a massive hurricane has been en route for days and made landfall close by to the location, so why not anticipate the risk of flooding? Unacceptable!
Even power loss and water being shut off required evacuation. Admin, whether one or the whole admin office, didn't care. That's what happens when you work your entire life to suddenly become disabled, your fate is in admin's and bureaucrat's hands.
@@mandala314Well no...there are actual healthcare laws. We can't just move residents when we feel like it without following a process because if anything goes wrong, the general public and law will shame and destroy your life, career, and freedom...as seen with a previous hurricane in Florida where nurses who stayed behind and risked their own lives were blamed/scrutinized because the power went out and ppl died, even when founded innocent, noone clarified or apologized for tormenting those nurses all over media.....
Just a suggestion… people are not just “loaded up” on to the bus. Words matter during this very scary and unprecedented time. Please remember that people are escorted or transferred, not loaded up. Please think about treating people with the ultimate dignity. Also, put yourselves in these people’s shoes. Imagine being cold and exposed. Do not pan your camera down to the bare legs of a woman while she is speaking, then back up to her face. The best action this crew could do is comfort and provide coverings for folks.
But they are loading them in a bus. They are literally following the definition of the word. Words matter to you because you ain't suffering from the hurricane.
@@MrChowbaby69 So they are not being escorted or transferred or perhaps even evacuated to a bus ?
This is the sort of classic concern trolling about things that don't matter that only Gen Z can fully master.
@@elmosweed4985 If I'm stuck in a swamp infested flood zone for half a day with no power or air conditioning. You can say whatever. You can say hey your name is Bessie the cow. Whatever get me out there.
Yeet me into a bus just get me somewhere dry!
Very very sad 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾💯🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 THIS IS WHY WE NEED TO VOTE BLUE FOR GRANDMA AND GRANDFATHER FOR THE OLD PEOPLE'S LIVES IS IN STATES 💯🗳️💯💙💙💙💙👥💙💙💯 BROTHER AND SISTER GZ MOTHER'S AND FATHER'S FAMILY AND FRIENDS ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Democrats care about NOBODY but those who can keep them in power!! They laundered BILLIONS thru Ukraine... They ALL GOT RICH!! Trump is the only president ever that gave his $1.6 million salary to charity!!! Democrats are liars cheaters, and thieves. MAGA IS A GOOD THING!
That's right! The Democrats will take care of you 😂. Especially if you're an illegal alien.
Not sure why you politicized the subject, but since you brought it up, Hillsborough County voted Democrat in 2020.
That young reporter deserves a big high five for her compassion toward those residents. I'm watching from ontario canada. Whom ever u r young lady bless your wonderful heart. We need more media like her.
😢This just breaks my hearts. Those poor people ❤🙏
Thank you Garry for your service & truth. You & all American Citizens deserve better.
Florida will not exist by the end of the century, it's modern day Atlantis.
I sure as hell won't miss it.
People, please understand that evacuation is not on everyone table. Many of these people can barely afford to pay their rent or mortgage and also to fill up their refrigerator. Renting a motel or hotel is not an option for them because money is tight. I understand y many often refuse to abandon their homes they have worked so hard for.
This facility should have evacuated these people somewhere where they werent on ground level at the very least . There should have been a plan put in place and made preperations , packed a small bag of dry clothes , a sweater , extra meds , water , snacks etc . This is absolutely ridiculous and pathetic . It is far better to be safe than sorry , especially when it comes to the elderly , being in cold water for hours may very well kill some of these people . It makes absolutely no sense to say "This area doesnt usually flood" when all the rivers, lakes , retention ponds etc are completely full from Helene less than 2 weeks ago and the ground is still completely saturated and this storm was 2-3 times bigger . Of course places were going to flood where do you think a whole bunch more water is going to go ?
smdh
An assisted living center is a nursing home. That bus could have been hired by the admin to evacuate these people to shelters. The admin is 100% responsible in this case. If they had no funds, call local or state government 2-3 days earlier and beg beg beg.
This is so true many reasons why people can't leave. Right now my yard is flooded. But my horses are fine
Nonsense. Everyone is prospering in bidens greatest economy ever
@@mandala314 Assisted Living is NOT the same as a nursing home, emphasis on ASSISTED. Agree with the rest of your comment.
WHOS responsible for these people? THEIR KIDS, firstly!!! one guy on yt stated he wasnt going to go rescue his mother in her ground floor house who lived 1.5 miles away bc she didnt want to be a bother and she wanted to stay in her own house during the flood surge! when the water flooded into her house and she was up to her CHEST in water, sitting in her wheelchair, THEN she called her son! he swam/walked to her house and got her OUT! KIDS, DONT listen to your old parent when they say they want to stay in their house! GO and take them out anyways! or they can drown!
It SUCKS to be old in America. My warehoused infirm contemporaries suffering. Somewhere there's a private equity firm activating their spin machine to explain this.
and handicapped or disabled.
thats why i plan on leaving to an actual first world country like Spain or new Zealand
@@grogsmashrock7240 I didn’t pick up on “in America” bit. Not sure WHERE I would be living matters.
Same here in Canada any day I am waiting for the a new law that say take them to the back of the barn ....you know what I MEAN without saying it .....! Golden years are not so golden anymore 😢
These poor elderly/disabled people. Thank GOD for our first responders willing to put themselves in harms way to serve and protect.
It’s the community responsibility to take care of the elderly and children…prayers for them
@@juanalmos1959 yes but rescuers are also part of the community
Yet Florida's governor claimed he had everything under control. Piss poor response, this should've been the first priority to get these people out.
they didn't have to evacuate because they are not in a n area considered a flooding area. This was unexpected.
Wow, this is horrible. 😢😢 Thank you to those who helped.
why has no one given them socks or blankets, surely there must be some dry ones some where
They were rescued, marshalled at a collection point and will be moved to safer area where there will be food, water, medical, clothing. The rescuers can't lose space trying to carry dry socks.
The shelters will have everything they need. Rescue workers rescue
Why aren’t you there giving out blankets and socks?. You sit on the Internet and you talk about what everyone else should be doing, but what are you doing? The same thing everyone else is doing. Nothing. You expect everything to be handed to you.
How many other assisted living or nursing homes were flooded with people stranded? Florida's full of them.
Isabel is a pretty good field reporter.; she makes the right questions to the right people.
I agree she did a very respectable professional TLC job.
BLESS THESES PEOPLE'S FAMILY 🙏🏾❤️🙏🏾😢
Be respectful as you would want to be treated or spoken about or your family members.
This is a critical situation. So glad they are rescued!
It was not a flood zone is what they are saying .
That's correct it's not located in either of the mandatory evacuation A or B zones
Warning ⚠️ for residents to leave before storm, why are these old folks left behind, it’s up to nursing homes protect old folks
they didn't have to evacuate because they are not in a n area considered a flooding area. This was unexpected.
High Heel Ron's Florida. Truly appalling.
Bidens America. Disgraceful
Can't refrain from being a partisan hack for a day...
From what I understand, the flooding came in totally unexpected areas.
yes, that is why many didn't have to evacuate but their places got flooded.
@@vaderladylthey should’ve evacuated these vulnerable individuals anyways 😢
@@raystacks no, they weren't expecting this flooding. They are not going to move people willy nilly if the area is not considered a flooding area.
This is a new area. Expect anything.
Why are so many residents without shoes?
A Florida Thing. We wouldn't understand. #Kulture.
Most likely wet shoes. It's a flood.
They were in bed when it started to flood , their shoes were all swept away .
They were saying that were sleeping in bed when this happen and their shoes and other belongings were already floating in water around their rooms when they were being rescued. 7:40
And, in many residences like this one, people have extremely swollen and tender feet, and Can't wear shoes...
I don’t wanna sound cruel or callous, but that was going to happen. Emergency workers told people if you can’t get out or if you don’t get out, we won’t be able to provide rescue operations until this storm has passed. That didn’t happen until this morning so if any part of your community flooded in the middle of the night you were stuck. There was nothing these people could do because that would be put in their lives at risk and they are the people we need to go and rescue individuals now. They can’t put their lives at risk because then who would be there to rescue people once the storm has left
The government of the state failed these people Republic Republicans
Why didn't admin have that bus to evacuate the residents to a shelter? They had a shelter with gennies just for elderly & disabled. Shelters were underused all over.
they didn't have to evacuate because they are not in a n area considered a flooding area. This was unexpected.
@@vaderladyl the only way this was "unexpected" is if people were choosing to be willfully ignorant.
If Milton had stayed Cat 5 as anticipated, and as large as Milton was (tip of the storm to tip), ALL OF FLORIDA could have been under water.
This absolutely could have been prevented.
Unfortunately, we have a group of politicians following an investor who enjoys gambling with other people's money, and they are all now playing political poker using American lives as the poker chips.
Not all rich people are self-medicating by hoarding resources....but the ones who are?
They are destroying our corporations, they are destroying our government, and they are destroying people's lives.
@@Lazy_Fish_Keeper and again, they are not going to move people willy nilly if they are not in an evacuation zone.
The facility is supposed to have a contingency plan in the eventuality that something like this might happen, that is where they failed, and we know how much the government cares in these situations.
Management needs to be arrested! Gross incompetence and depraved disregard for human life!
They were in a zone that wasn't supposed to flood.
Why didn’t police or fire check on elderly facilities before storm hit?
Thank you this should have been a discussion beforehand but apparently they don't know how to prepare because this government does not care about you
People don't care about the the old sick and disabled hence the title of the story
Low to the floor those people pay for that with th all they got they should have never been left in that condition disgusting on this city of Tampa purely disrespectful pisses me off imagine a hurricane coming through and doing this to your family it's sad Tampa ain't seen nothing yet greed will always cost you in the end
Prayers for Florida 🙏❤️
Why didn't the florida governor requst buses to move people out of harms way before the storm? I guess know lessons were learned during Katrina. They knew about Milton for days.
they didn't have to evacuate because they are not in a n area considered a flooding area. This was unexpected.
Why weren't the old people evacuated????
stupid Floridians. "Florida Man" / "Florida Woman" = google - an alleged prevalence of people performing irrational or maniacal actions in the U.S. state of Florida.
I live in Tampa. That is not in an evacuation zone.
Please listen to the video and stop jumping to conclusions.
Because it's really hard logistically to evacuate all the elders. It takes days to weeks to plan, transport and plan all the care and personnel needed. This hurricane was simply too big and too fast.
@@Dharmarenee just a bunch of haters.
Tku Gary for your service as a Marine...Take care of you...💖💖Tku tku first responders💖💖💖
Great responses regarding lack of shoes. I’m so sorry this has happened to the entire community
I worked at an assisted living but it was 5 stories high. We're not in hurricane country but we had a whopper in 1962, but nothing compared to this. Too many in wheelchairs and probably should be in a nursing home facility. I hope everyone gets good care wherever they're transported. Giving patients medication is a big advantage to elderly, if care workers are dependable. God Bless them all.
Very wet in terms of water. Nobody knew...🤷♂️
This was unbelievable in this area, that's true.
Bless there hearts ❤️
This is one reason brother and I combined households with Mom. We're here if she needs assistance. I know not all families can do that and I'm not condemning them. Just grateful for the opportunity. Those poor people. This must not have been expected. So sad for them.
I live about 4 miles from here and I'm shocked to see what happened. I want to give them all a hug and help. And actually, I may be doing so because I'm going to help at a shelter not far from there where they might be transported to, given the proximity.
The whole reason the people from Bradenton were sent there is bc that area doesnt usually flood.
Thank you Marine!! Once a Marine, always a Marine. ❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊
That Marine can have my coat!! 😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤
How many times this month are we going to hear, "This type of flooding just doesn't happened here"?? 😢😢😢
many more. There are places here that never flooded until now.
@@vaderladyl thanks to global warming melting the ice caps, raising WATER LEVELS
6-7 or more tornadoes came through that area. The assisted living home wasn't evacuated for Milton because they do not live in an evacuation zone.
I get that people would actually have to Do their jobs, but why didn't they at least take all of these people to the 3rd floor of a hospital? Even in the hallways, it would have been better then what they went through smh
Send relief money to Ukraine and Israel first and if there's any leftover pennies then send it to Florida
I thought anyone who didn't evacuate was going to die
typical thoughts of someone that doesn't live in Florida, is what comes to mind.
Don't understand why they are rescuing Seniors AFTER the storm but didn't evacuate them BEFORE Milton?
Did you not watch the video? They said multiple times that the facility was not in an evacuation zone. And flood waters to that degree were unheard of in that area.
they didn't have to evacuate because they are not in a n area considered a flooding area. This was unexpected.
Why is that girl doing all the talking and not letting him answer questions? She's answering her own questions inaccurately. Let the man tell his story!
I'm glad the residents have been rescued. I wish I had heard the facts.
I live close to this area. Poor drainage, low income neighborhood, low lying area, there is no surprise that thus happened.
Where the HELL are these peoples families? Not in 1,000,000 years would my father ever be in this situation. Dear God people do better!
Why were they still there? Why didn't they evacuate these people?
Greed to get their $😡
Neglect.
I lived in California for 30 years, glad I moved to Florida. Thanks a lot, Newsom. They get what you vote for.
Who would take them in and moving this many people , storm surge wasn't horrible they all look ok.
@@YTPartyTonightI’m sorry you had to leave but I totally understand, we need more Republicans in California…
absolutely disgusting that the city didn't give these poeple a bus the day before. NOW they're taking them to a shelter and NOW theyre giving them a bus. I'd sue the city for that neglegence. Why are these people paying taxes?
they didn't have to evacuate because they are not in a n area considered a flooding area. This was unexpected.
This reporter is despicable. Look at the gleam in her eyes , reveling in these people's suffering
What you perceive as a gleam of pleasure might just be her being properly emotional.
The lawyers are gonna get richer... The sad part of it,is that the poor people who have been enduring the disaster waist deep in the water, will still be in the same situation...At the mercy of the merciless predicament 😢💔😞
This is unacceptable. Everyone was given notice. These people should have either have been transferred or moved to a higher level - what idiots did not think better to be safe than sorry.
По тому что старики инвалиды это не в кайф власти только электорат для выборов😢 как опасность их первых спишут из списка😢
Lord Have Mercy, so sad Praying for Florida
This happens every time... Assisted living people need to be taken care of
I hope they get medical attention and a warm place to stay overnight.
The rich celebrities should open their pockets now and help out these people
Oh dear God how sad !!! Every disaster is always the elderly who suffers the most!!!
Note: There is no separate DHHS Medicare, or Medicaid funding for hcbs disabled/elderly in independent living, assisted living, or nursing home evacuations. Not in Florida, not anywhere. Totally unacceptable because these folks could be evacuated FIRST before the roads are clogged with cars. This is a simple legislative fix that could be done now - a single bill to fund a disaster fund to evacuate folks like this BEFORE the mandatory evacuation order goes out to the public!
Got them out there in wet clothes this city or country does not care or have love or compassion for others bye I'm done here
How’s that guy who hunkered down in his sailboat? Hope he’s okay. 😢😢😢
I don’t wish harm to any living being , but You get what you get! You forced Gazans to evacuate multiple times, forcing them to leave their homes and belongings, demolished and bombed their homes and then killing them eventually after they had evacuated….God now forces you to evacuate your homes and may be lose your properties…I guess prayers of those who are living the unfair circumstances created by this government are heard! If you don’t like this comment tell your government to stop funding genoc!de. God has plans and God is the best planner.
Get these people some blankets Dang
That's really sad. I wonder why family members didn't pick up them before this monster Hurricane. No compassion, no mercy? 🙏🏻🙏🏻💙💙
Sad man... I will never move down south. These storms are only getting worse every year.
HOPE AMERICAN WILL BE UNDERSTANDINFG AND HUMAN WITH THE MIGRANTS
Where are the families of these people; children grand children etc? Todays society discard older people
Hurricane Milton made landfall near Siesta Key, Florida, as a dangerous Category 3 storm and weakened to a Category 1 as it cut through the state and moved offshore, according to the National Hurricane Center.
Milton dropped more than 18 inches of rain on St. Petersburg, representing a more than a 1-in-1000 year rainfall event for the area.
Milton, the third hurricane to hit Florida this year, has knocked out power for more than 3 million people in the state. Wind gusts of 100 mph were recorded near Tampa. Milton ripped off the roof of Tropicana Field, which was set to be a makeshift shelter for first responders.
Officials in Pinellas County, Florida, which encompasses St. Petersburg and Clearwater, have lifted the mandatory evacuation orders issued before Hurricane Milton made landfall.
The county is still asking residents to avoid unnecessary travel because many areas remain without power or water, and roads have not yet been cleared of debris and hazards.
Officials in St. Petersburg, Florida, have issued a boil water notice for residents after major water main breaks caused by Hurricane Milton disrupted drinking water access in the city.
The notice includes residents in St. Petersburg, Gulfport, South Pasadena, and Lealman.
The city said boiled or bottled water should be used for activities including drinking, cooking, brushing teeth or cleaning. According to the CDC, water should be brought to a full rolling boil for 1 minute and allowed to cool before use.
Not only created it, but also tested it
Why didn't they order nursing home to be evacuated earlier?
The Mayor said....Evacuate or you will die? No one got these people out??
Why don't we enact an emergency crisis bill, that when natural disasters like this are forecast in advance, DOT and FAA can require private busses, planes, and other transportation to help evacuate people with no other available transportation.
Set price fees could be paid out of FEMA funding, **if** the politicians would stop playing their political poker game with our lives....
God bless the first responders including the National Guard members from across the US who have been deployed to help the victioms of both Helene and Milton. And yes, the Guard from other states are being deployed - my sister is in HR in a non-affected state.
This is ridiculous they should of been taken care of.They deserve better.Why wasn't any official taken care of them.its heart breaking.Shame on them dropping the ball.Thank you for sharing and the help.God bless.vote 💙🙏
This is so terrible they had to sit in the water for hours n most of them can't walk
oxygen machines... I thought they had evacuated people in senior assisted living communities near the ocean
they didn't have to evacuate because they are not in a n area considered a flooding area. This was unexpected.
Lord Have Mercy I Pray they get to safety and get some warm clothes and food..i hope nobody get sick or anything
But how she means that she got woken up? Didn’t she say that she works there? How are you sleeping on the job, knowing that a major hurricane is coming?
Legal suits to follow all the neglectful owners of these facilities that got their own butts out of there and left everyone else behind. Did no one remember the outcome a couple of years ago?
Sad for these people. These storms have been going on for hundreds of year just more people live in these areas
Does Gary work at the facility? Would Gary pass a background check? WHERE are the professional care givers? I've worked in special care facilities and I can't IMAGINE leaving them during a storm like this. WHERE where the professional caretakers?
DeSantis is going to take them away to the Soylent Green factory.
... Where they will make a tasty Marie callender's frozen pork chop dinner
Why didn't the governor do anything to prevent the assisted living facility situation wth. So many people say he's the greatest..... right
Why didn't the county step in prior to the hurricane, this is terrible!
What catastrophic situation and nowhere for proper establishment for people to have a place to rest.
What was the excuse for them not to be removed ahead of time!?
It looks like there's Multiple Buildings & Businesses Nearby that could have been Offered as Temporary Relief Locations . 😮 😢😢
Disabled people matter. Thanks for doing this story. #SickNotWeak b/c #ChangeIsHope
