16:21 This blue and White House is where my family lived in the 70s. That front porch used to be screened in with a wooden bench swing hanging from the left side and the door and steps on the right hand side. Cynthia, our landlady and friend lived in the house behind us on the same property. She gave my brother and I a quarter to bring her her newspaper in the morning, and shared her coffee ice cream with me. On either side of us were the Lenares and Joe & Grace…and in the white two story house lived Amy, Marci, and Lisa. Mary’s Pier was Hubbard’s Dock back then. My grandmother and grandfather and all of their friends used to sit out on that sidewalk in their aluminum frame folding lawn chairs at night enjoying good conversation and the cool Gulf breezes. Joe and Grace gave huge parties in their backyard serving homemade authentic Spanish food. Mangi taught my brother and I how to cane pole fish off the dock at the end of our street (11th Avenue). Back then it wasn’t as built up as it is now. It was quaint and special. My Uncle Bill sang at the Seahorse Restaurant, and the “Hurricane” restaurant was tiny and only one story; a little shack with “The best burgers on the beach”. ❤😢
That dock you walked out on was the dock I mentioned. I still live in Florida in South Tampa now. We still go and eat at the Seahorse and pass by our old house.
Totální devastace, a přišlo to o pár dní podruhé, velká tragédie pro ty, co jsou tam doma. A ono se to vrátí, bohužel, zmar na zmar, kdo lidem pomůže? Kdo je ochrání? Oceán má velkou sílu, kam s tím odpadem? Opět do oceánu? Planeta Země nám to vrací, co jsme jí udělali. 😂😂😂
I live on St Pete Beach and despite your inference am not rich. In fact St Pete Beach was a reasonable place to live cost wise until about ten years ago when everyone discovered it and the housing prices went through the roof seemingly overnight. I, like you, also had an opportunity to speak with the Sheriffs department regarding the guy (approximately 8:30 in the video) with the trailer. Here is the real story. They stopped him for: 1.) No license plates on the trailer 2.) No lights (brake, turn signal, running) on the trailer 3.) The trailer was home made and did not contain a VIN which is required by state law. 4.) No safety chain in case the trailer hitch failed. 5.) Load was not secured. 6.) Load was higher than allowed per state law. 7.) Trailer was unbalanced and deemed by anyone with common sense to be unsafe. In addition despite what you might think the individual was stopped because some of the items were believed to have been stolen and they were detaining this idiot while waiting for the owner(s) to claim it before arresting the guy for looting. There were several other items in his possession that were probably stolen as well that they did not have a formal report on. They were also looking to impound the truck as it was used in the commission of a felony. Looting is a felony in the state of Florida. Which brings me to my final point.....Looting is a huge issue right now. Thieves are all over the beach communities stealing anything that is not bolted down. My neighbors have lost power tools, garden hoses, a pressure washer, and even items stolen from their cars. The Pinellas County Sheriffs are doing a phenomenal job trying to keep it from getting totally out of control. We have enough problems right now. Consider that all of those mattresses you saw stacked in the streets are from people who for the most part are sleeping somewhere else possibly on the wet ground. Please stay away!
😢 EVEN THOUGH IT'S BAD THERES MY SISTER IS STUCK IN TENN. & CAN'T COME BACK TO DELAWARE CAUSE THERE'S ROADS THAT ARE MISSING ! THANKFULLY SHE IS SAFE FOR NOWS & THERE'S TONS OF MISSING PEOPLE EVERYWHERE & THE MUDSLIDES IN THE MOUNTAINS TOO
Just watching this from UK, this is so awful to see people losing their possessions and things that make a home, sending love, is there any gofundme pages for the community to help rebuild?
Most of these homes are on islands, fairly well off areas. Living near the beach is a luxury. If i see a go fund me worth supporting i will let you know. We got another storm coming the communities further inland are poorer and this storm definitely will affect them more.
@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS it is heartbreaking what all the states have suffered through just so far. I guess it will be a long time before me and my wife are able to come back to anna maria island. 😔
St Petersburg beach is built on a sandbar which is in the ocean not next to the ocean, and the water is supposed to be there. They want to use the word barrier Island but a barrier island is a sandbar. If you're going to build buildings and live on a sandbar in the ocean, make sure everything is made out of concrete and stainless steel, elevate all roads and structures at least 25 ft above the high-water mark. All this destruction can be avoided with proper engineering.
I can imagine family conversations right about now in Florida: "Honey, i'm just about fed up with this crap, I think we should move somewhere further inland from the ocean"
I lived in Florida for 38 years. In 2004 the roof peeled off of my rental duplex, and I lost everything. There is nothing that can prepare you for being homeless. I was in the middle of the state at the time. My husband and I made the decision to leave in 2017 because of the warming of the planet, and the increased threats for more destructive hurricanes. Milton is exactly why we left.
I wouldn't go swimming in the gulf for a long time, especially without foot protection! When the storm surge receded it dragged all sorts of debris back into the gulf. That sharp debris could cut you up badly. Going swimming in the gulf right now could result in a tetanus shot, and a trip to the hospital to get stitches if you get a nasty cut in the water!
I’ve never had $$ to live right next to the ocean, lakes, beaches, rivers. And I’ve never had a flooded home or car. I’ve lived simply and responsibly. I’ve never caused any reason to make taxpayers rebuild my home. I do feel with all my heart to people that suffer through tornadoes through no fault of their own.😢
I've lived on those beaches and it's a simple, happy life. Had 1 storm surge. Insurance paid for it. What this community is going through is heartbreaking.
10:40 that SUV with that trailer is no diffrent of a safety concern... but of course, once again.. the rich can do whatever they want. dont do it while poor.
@@Tailionis NEVER stay in an evacuation zone.. NEVER.. you will live the nightmare of a lifetime if you do. I have stayed in new houses far inland with large groups of people and its terrifying
Not sure I understand your comment. Hurricanes move large amounts of water to areas of drought and can be good. But it's really the steering winds that cause the damage because they push the storms over land.
I guess if you went down 75 , the long way , you wouldn’t have to pay right? Or if you went down 22nd ave S through Gulfport and pasadena . You want the short cut, you pay . Nothing different than the 836 my guy or any other toll south
I agree there's a severe sense of entitlement from the wealthy, but sheesh dude. It's a calm sunny day, there's no storms causing deadly waves, get over people enjoying the beach.
Probably best to wear gloves, because that black mold is toxic. Also, "what are those people doing?" Just riding bikes, because their vehicles are probably disabled! Maybe they were on the way the check on a loved one.
Milton will reek mayhem upon existing disaster. I'm so sorry. This will be horror upon the horrific. Get out now. Major hurricane with major metro area in the cross hairs. You have less than 96 hours. All those piles of stuff will be flying around. The storm surge is forecast to be catastrophic. The criminals and gangs will be looting like we've never seen. Disaster resources already used up. GET OUT NOW. Go live with family or friends far enough away. Arkansas. Detroit if you have to. Get out of the Southeastern US else you won't be able to leave.
Well you don’t want to cause a panic because if folks panic….the roads will just be filled with stopped traffic. Trapped in cars would be the horror. Really the elderly that nobody calls anymore and homeless hidden in the woods unknown are the ones on my mind. They are at a disadvantage big time.
@@FraaaaaankRizzo Common sense. I'm talking to those that can leave. Tragic so many can't. It's Florida. Crazy face eating homeless zombies Florida. The looting alone will be horrific. Get out if you can. Now. And, taking action in light of information is not panicking. I moved out of Florida already. Not out of panick. I miss it. But this was inevitable due to climate change. Only will get worse. Uninsurable homes already. Condos in chaos. SOuth Florida built on drug money and corrutpion. Good luck staying. "Duh." - Norm MacDonald I loved Florida. Was a beautiful place. Ruined. Sad and tragic.
I don’t understand why the wealthy people don’t have real wood furniture, you said their stuff outside was made in china, I understand the not wealthy, but are they that cheap

I don't know anyone who has a valid Driver's license in Florida...and they ... they drive everywhere everyday without insurance or DL.
Tell you what is sad, is we have another storm coming this way next week. I feel bad for these people... God help us 🙏 all.
NOT ME REPUBLICANS SAY CLIMATE CHANGE ISN'T REAL AND TRUMP SAYS ITS A GOOD THING YOU GET MORE BEACH FRONT PROPERTY
Yes!! Relentless.
i live in central Florida in Seminole county never say never to a hurricane
Next week?? It's hitting in 48 hrs
Thank you for this informative video. Prayers to all those affected by this hurricane.

as bad? this one way worse from what they are saying.. we didnt even get a direct impact from that last one. this gonna get bad.

Literally today "vinny were heading bak 2 knew york"
so hard to see all this destruction. 🙏
That's sad about the negative treatment of scrappers. In my area of Ohio the neighborhoods welcome them. I don't understand this mindset??
Hate the poor because they are rich. Thats how these coastal areas are.

It's not just hurricanes. BTW, they can be good and relieve drought. The steering winds push the storms over major populations and are more to blame.
Yeah, we got another hurricane developing that looks.as it's heading straight towards Tampa Bay.
Yeah hold off on the clean up it will just get trashed again.

The dream is over. Move back to Michigan. We are tired of the rich transplants milking the government so they can live on a sandbar.
Michigan is beautiful
The only place that looks the same is Mahuffer's.
well at least Florida doesn't tax personal income so there is that...right ?
True
Yes. There is that.
Illinois taxes personal income but not retirement income.

I guess if you went down 75 , the long way , you wouldn’t have to pay right? Or if you went down 22nd ave S through Gulfport and pasadena . You want the short cut, you pay . Nothing different than the 836 my guy or any other toll south
Driving 75 is insane traffic, than you still have to get on the selmon toll regardless.
Why folks are angry? Nobody did this on purpose. It’s just Mother Nature. Sad yes, but angry?
Absolutely furious people out there. Screaming and throwing rage fits
Don't be too sure about that. The government has been modifying weather for 60+ years.
At least they still have thier houses and cars!!!!😢
I agree there's a severe sense of entitlement from the wealthy, but sheesh dude.
It's a calm sunny day, there's no storms causing deadly waves, get over people enjoying the beach.
My boss has a house on 64th Ave. He lost just about everything.
Good Luck the next few days! We r thinking about you guys from Fort Lauderdale
They've been hauling too much at once, and it falls on the busy roads/bridges and has been causing accidents. My car is now messed up from it.
Hold-on for a second one, if you got spared by Helene, you might not be with that one.
We have red tide right now.
Uh Oh Here comes Milton! Better Move Fast! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Who should pay for that billion dollar bridge?
Your mic sucks. So does the analysis of the dude hauling that unsafe load.
It’s 103 degrees out here… and we’re walking in the sun.
I agree. Could barely hear the dude. The video was informative but unprofessional due to so many moments of his mic not working to properly inform us
Parking is almost $10. 😊
Do you have any videos of the Paradise Island neighborhood?
The Gulf waters is so hot it's inviting hurricanes for hugs and kisses. If you move to the west coast of Florida be prepared for such consequences.
