A look back on the deadly and destructive 2017 Atlantic Hurricane Season. Featured reporting from Dave Malkoff [ davemalkoff.com ] on a rescue mission in Texas.
My dog was a stray rescued during Hurricane Harvey. She was flown to Washington State with other animals, she is my soul dog and the love of my life. She is still terrified of water and storms, I can’t imagine what she went through and what everyone had to go through. God bless the rescuers, everyone who was lost and all of the people affected.
I'm a video producer in Corpus Christi. 24 hours after the storm passed I was teamed up with an AEP crew going out to document their restoration efforts. We were among the first to enter Port A and Rockport after Harvey left. I'm tell you right now, the real story of Harvey isn't the destruction. It's how the community came together and made people whole again. That was the most inspirational things I have ever seen and taken part in.
Maria came here 🇵🇷 the day after my birthday. We spent 4 months without power and water. The devstation was unfathomable. It was the first time in my now 49 years that i felt true fear.
I was nearly 8 months pregnant with our 5th child when Harvery hit Sugar Land. We were told if we didn't evacuate, we wouldn't be rescued. We left when they said. It still took like 8 hours to get from Sugar Land to somewhere in north Houston. Most roads were already impassable. We had to go the wrong way on the highway in some areas. Cars were abandoned right there in the middle of the highway. It felt so apocalyptic.
Im a HS teacher. We organized a backpack drive to get new school supplies shipped to kids who lost everything in Harvey at that high school. To hear the stories firsthand from the teachers on the ground as we communicated with them was heartbreaking. Many kids were renters with no renters insurance. Many were low income families with the clothes on their back and no money in a bank. Tragic.
“Tough times don’t last...tough people do” 100% accurate and will certainly adopt that saying into my own life. My love goes out to everyone affected by all hurricane seasons but especially to the 2017 season. ✌🏾 & ❤️ To you all. XOXO
Well, for most people in the world, tragedy (something like poverty) last longer than a human lifetime. So, that saying simply falls flat on its face. Besides, if we keep this up as humans, all those places will be flooded for a long, long time. Living on the coast of the Netherlands, I'm well aware of this.
@@nightfly4664 your welcome to your opinion. But, it’s exactly that…..YOUR opinion! You should not try to extrapolate data from a simple saying. I’m not talking about poverty etc. I’m being specific to the subject and content of the documentary. Have you actually watched it?
@@nightfly4664 well humans have been doing the same thing well before your life time or mine this is cycle of life the world will go on and on until? The higher power who invented it decides not to
All I heard and saw was about How Harvey, Irma and Maria affected Texas, Florida, Louisiana but not a word of how long it took to receive the much help and assistance from the US was given to Puerto Rico. 2795 lives lost, either from direct impact or of the aftermath of the storms. To this day, when travelling to PR, from an airplane you can see blue tarps over the most impoverished areas...
That's why homes in the Caribbean are built out concrete and have tile floors. No drywall, no carpet, no wood. House down the walls, push the mud out the back door, life goes on.
I'm from Orange, Texas me and my dad went out to rescue people just normal people doing the right thing I was only 10 then my birthday was on August 7th I'll be 14 this year I'll never forget seeing that chaos that we saw in Mauriceville, Texas for all those who helped in the recovery thank you whether you were someone who was in Coast Guard choppers or in the Army national guard or engineer or if you were just a normal person
Rockport is my town. 5 years later they're still kicking. I wasn't living there when Harvey hit, but the memory is still fresh in so many peoples minds.
these guys are amazing. no one can know what it is like, unless they have lived through. we can only imagine how terrifying it would be and what it be like to lose everything
I’m a Houston resident and at the time we lived in Pearland and we were fortunate enough to only have water come up to the front yard, all I remember is that IT WOULDN’T STOP RAINING
@@cxrpserxses I was on the gulf coast/east coast for both 2017 and 2020, and tbh I remember 2017 as the more devastating of the two. 2020 had a high number, but it just wasn't nearly as impactful.
Will always remember Hurricane Harvey!!! Lost everything we had and had to carry my kids thru high flood water. Was a crazy 2-3 days of constant rain and crazy wind
The real problem with Irma in Florida was the substantial amount of rain received in the prior two weeks. 16" IIRC. When Irma came, the ground was already soaked and saturated. Irma's winds in the Keys were ferocious, but most of Florida saw only tropical-storm-force winds at worst. BUT, with the ground being saturated, when these weak winds came, the trees toppled over due to the soft ground. Other than the Keys, I don't remember seeing any non-tree-caused-damage.
Nature is never cruel or kind. It's neither vengeful or benevolent, punishing or merciful. It simply is and never oversteps the boundaries and laws that God or universal laws have placed for it. Only man perceives it otherwise.
Historically, we've been in a quiet hurricane period for the past 3-4 decades. Look back from ~1900-1970 and you'll see that hurricanes were far more active and far stronger, and that's with the limited weather technology/data we had then. Now the problem are all of the people who've moved to the coasts since air conditioning became popular. Not to mention "northern-style" construction homes which have no business being in hurricane-prone areas. Traditionally homes built in the Caribbean were built of concrete and had tile floors. No wood, no drywall, nothing that would get damaged in a storm. Just hose down the walls, push the mud out the back door and life went on.
The images of Houston in and around the metropolitan area, & and of course Irma approaching Miami at category 5 strength is haunting and horrifying in my head 🗣️ .. people and myself for years to come will never ever forget these monster of hurricanes 🌀 ... I already knew the 2017 Atlantic hurricane season was gonna get much worse than expected
It's not like they don't know a hurricane is coming, days out. Why was the cat left behind at all? The horrors that cat must have gone through! Lucky it was found alive, but no thanks to her owner.
I'd imagine that cat probably knew what was coming. My rabbits have always been huge predictors of tropical systems. Surprisingly accurate too. The night before Hurricane Charley (2004) hit, I was in Tampa, FL, and my rabbit was going absolutely nuts. She dragged all of her things to the front door, including me by the pant-leg. I had a difficult time getting her to calm down and go to sleep. The next morning she was still scratching at the front door, wanting to leave. Right as the hurricane turned, she curled up on the couch and went to sleep in complete peace. Truly amazing.
Harvey was a monster storm that I was surprised to not get any flooding from. Living in Alief, sitting between addicks and barkers Reservoir we never flood. Everybody else floods because when they release water, it goes through bufflo and brays Bayou causing them to spill they’re banks, flooding everything from cinco to Baytown, and once that happens the brazos and San jancinto rivers aren’t far behind 6:18 that’s what I’m talking about
Hurricanes are a normal part of the Earth's climate. They distribute excess heat from the tropics. Large hurricanes are not new. Lesson? Prepare. It's nice living on the coast but there is a price. Build on high ground. Use the latest building techniques. Keep insurance up to date. have a hurricane plan which includes important papers, pets and photos.
Hurricane Harvey... We were expecting that bad b to hit Corpus Christi. I was in college at the time, I remember how panicked people were, and how long the gas & grocery lines were in Kingsville the day before the storm was supposed to hit. It was almost apocalyptic. The lines on the highways headed North and West were insane as well. My family and I did not evacuate--we figured it was too late anyway and it would be worse to get stuck out on the road. Thankfully, all we got was a light rain and a bit of a breeze. Unfortunately, our neighboring towns and cities did not fare as well. I moved to Houston last year (21.) There are STILL people and places recovering from Harvey.
I was penpals with Cantore for a few years . Great guy . The worst conditions I've experienced was Florence in 2018 in Wilmington ,NC . The worst damage I've ever seen in person was Hugo in SC in 89 . Wilma is always cited for record low pressure but the two strongest landfalling hurricanes are 1935 Labor Day of 882 mb and Camille of 1969 which was 900 mb at Bay St Louis MS . Remember that many early storms were not measured and our so called unprecedented storms are actually not because we don't have all of the figures . The Harvey rains are certainly astonishing and the enormous storm surges of Camille and Katrina truly frightening . I believe if we had knowledge of all storms that a few unnamed storms would well compare to the infamous ones of recent decades .
New sub here. Love your style and videos. Watched "Oklahoma tornado target" a couple years ago and loved it. Been watching Cantore since I grew up in Cocoa Beach in the 90s as well haha. Keep up the good work
Hurricane Harvey hit Port Aransas, not Houston, all that made it to Houston was a tropical depression, it just flooded. Everybody rushed to Houston and left Port Aransas and Rockport to rebuild without any assistance.
They’re talking about the rain. Houston got hit by tropical depression winds by Harvey and Also Houston was effected the most by the rain and flooding. Plus it’s the 4th most populated city in the U.S.A
I heard that, during Hurricane Harvey, people in Houston and surrounding areas, had to take’ refuge on their roofs, during tornado warnings!! Very scary.
I'm from Puerto Rico and hurricane maria just put our island on it knees. The day after the storm hit: no power, no water, no gas, no internet service, no cell phone or phone services, no airport, no hospitals, no schools, no tv stations, only one radio station, no police, no ambulance service, no funeral homes, no doppler radar, no vegetation, flooding everywhere. The local goverment collapsed, FEMA and military forces just struggling trying to reach hard hit areas, and in the coming days, no drinking water, very little food available and no fuel. I finally had power back in my home 9 MONTHS later. Damages estimated in $92 billions($92,000,000,000). The US assigned $27 billions($27,000,000,000), less than one third of total damaged. At this date, more than 4 years later, only less than $5 billions have been received by PR. How can we recover from this monster storm, the earthquakes of 2020 and the covid-19 pandemic. The oldest colony in the world, PR is just a very bad treated property of the US!
@@jtp2007 A Tropical Depression will do that easily, Houston was never hit by Hurricane Harvey, Port Aransas was, ya'll are just a bunch of whiney cry babies that wanted the Government Aid that should have went to Port Aransas. There are still people in Port Aransas without a livable home.
HAVING LIVED IN FLORIDA FOR MORE THAN 40+ YEARS I HAVE NEVER HAD TO EVACUATE EVEN WHEN I LIVED IN ST. AUGUSTINE SURVIVING QUITE A FEW MAJOR STORMS !!! I HAVE KEPT MY NEIGHBORS PETS WHILE THEY EVACUATED !!! HOWEVER IN THE CASE I WOULD HAVE HAD TO EVACUATE I WOULD NEVER LEAVE WITHOUT MY PETS !!! OR ANY OF MY NEIGHBORS THAT WOULD BE VULNERABLE !!! SEEING THE DEATH AND DESTRUCTION IN THE AFTERMATH OF HURRICANE KATRINA !!! I'D HAVE TO SAY IF MY PETS CAN'T GO NEITHER WOULD I !!! WHERE THERE IS A WILL THERE'S A WAY !!!
Yo that shit did fr hit Rockport as if it thought Rockport tx was sexy asf or something, like nothing I've ever seen, i literally almost died or something cause my ass was asleep until i got woke up to evacuate by my dad, hell i didn't think the next day was gonna be a destructive storm that made the history book, my ass thought i was going to work tomorrow😅, there was like no warning the night before it landed cause it "dissapated" and the news had better shit to televise... untill it landed outta nowhere
I REMEMBER THINKING ABOUT THE FLOODING FROM HURRICANE HARVEY *** WITH THE FIRE'S GOING ON IN CALIFORNIA !!! AND THE WATER SHORTAGES HAPPENING AT THE SAME TIME *** WHY COULDN'T THEY SEND SOME OF THE FLOOD WATER TO CALIFORNIA TO HELP THERE !!!
Some things don't change: YOU and only YOU are responsible for your family's safety and survival during and after a hurricane. Houston's drainage still sucks (always has since 1835) Rick Knabb's still a poor excuse for a meteorologist People keep building non-hurricane-resistant homes in hurricane areas. Disasters can bring a community together. People from Miami suck... every single hurricane we've had people from the Miami area drive across the state to loot/pillage damaged areas on the West coast. Fortunately the local police and national guard don't take s**t from anyone after a storm.
Because there is another factor then just wind. FLOODING. The flooding causes 70% of the damage and Harvey had the worst flooding out of the 3. Plus Katrina was weaker than Harvey and still costed more. Wind isn’t everything in a hurricane. Btw if you don’t understand the categories are based of winds, but winds only do 30% of the damage.
Ever hear of Duke Energy? They're Florida's second-largest power utility and they suuuuck. Duke had the most and the longest outages due to Hurricane Irma, despite their service area never seeing anything worse than tropical-depression-strength winds! We're talking people being without power for 3 weeks from 30mph winds. In contrast, FP&L (a.k.a. Flicker Power & Light) has really improved over the years and had the majority of their grid back up in 3 days.
I always question why, They know the area they live in they know the risks but yet they stay? loose it all rebuild loose it all again rebuild again after that cry and complain all there stuff is gone rebuild and wait till it happens again, I think they just like the aspect of feeling helpless and crave attention in worst ways possible, Glutton for punishment really.
I'd rather be in a small town during/after a disaster. MUCH better class of people. In a small town you're not going to have to worry about looting, civil unrest, etc.
😂😂😂😂 Tell me you listen to - and believe - right wing propaganda without telling me you're uneducated... ... and you obviously don't care, or aren't capable, of doing any actual research on how much BETTER life became after the convicted felon was fired in 2020. You can't fix stupid. But you can VOTE stupid out of government. #DiaperDon is stupid. #DementiaDon was voted out. You're welcome.
Cruel & unusual, so is we as a people , why we have full prisons & bad news on the tv round the clock , even Almighty God gets enough & we call it cruel & unusual! Go figure .
When they starting talking about 'Climate Change, it was time for me to go. GOD is Very Angry and is sending us a WARNING to WAKE Up: Stop sinning, Stop breaking the 10 Commandments, stop stealing, cheating, lying, killing, hating, etc. Turn to God/Jesus for help, prayer, and strength, love, learn to love again in all, etc.
There's always 1 F88king god nutter in the comments, I wish all you god-believing MORONS would f up & DIE ... there is NO GOD so get the F**K over it !!!!!
I hear you, there are millions of people all over the world praying, but they are victims of these natural disasters, why does god punish them, he does not care, and my belief he does not exist.

Such a beautiful home.
i watch a documentary the other day where a family lost everything. they said they are moving to Texas now im thinking really did you do research
This video came out right before the 2020 hurricanes, which broke the record.
The real problem with Irma in Florida was the substantial amount of rain received in the prior two weeks. 16" IIRC. When Irma came, the ground was already soaked and saturated.

I REMEMBER THINKING ABOUT THE FLOODING FROM HURRICANE HARVEY ***
WITH THE FIRE'S GOING ON IN CALIFORNIA !!! AND THE WATER SHORTAGES HAPPENING AT THE SAME TIME ***
WHY COULDN'T THEY SEND SOME OF THE FLOOD WATER TO CALIFORNIA TO HELP THERE !!!
STOP YELLING ...
Some things don't change:
YOU and only YOU are responsible for your family's safety and survival during and after a hurricane.
Houston's drainage still sucks (always has since 1835)
Rick Knabb's still a poor excuse for a meteorologist
People keep building non-hurricane-resistant homes in hurricane areas.
Disasters can bring a community together.
People from Miami suck... every single hurricane we've had people from the Miami area drive across the state to loot/pillage damaged areas on the West coast. Fortunately the local police and national guard don't take s**t from anyone after a storm.
Why don't they make the helicopter to where the hold more gas.
6:51 Whew!
@ 14:30 I cried.... I guess I am human after all!
if irma and maria was stronger than harvey how it cost less damage than harvey
Because there is another factor then just wind. FLOODING. The flooding causes 70% of the damage and Harvey had the worst flooding out of the 3. Plus Katrina was weaker than Harvey and still costed more. Wind isn’t everything in a hurricane. Btw if you don’t understand the categories are based of winds, but winds only do 30% of the damage.
@@XaviDaRoRacer25364 ik but katrina wasnt weaker it was a cat 5 b4 it weakened to a cat 3 harvey was a big hurricane tho but katrina was bigger
Harvey wasn't moving much so all it was doing was dumping rain as it was weakening after landfall
This country doesn’t deserve Paul Goodloe
3 months without electricity? I'm sorry, but there's no way that would happen somewhere like Florida. That's ridiculous.
No city in Florida had this largr of an electrical grid. You seem to imagine that any Florida city is this populated
Ever hear of Duke Energy? They're Florida's second-largest power utility and they suuuuck. Duke had the most and the longest outages due to Hurricane Irma, despite their service area never seeing anything worse than tropical-depression-strength winds! We're talking people being without power for 3 weeks from 30mph winds.
In contrast, FP&L (a.k.a. Flicker Power & Light) has really improved over the years and had the majority of their grid back up in 3 days.

Big Pine Key is an island.
Surprise, surprise. You live on the water and get wiped out. Then all our insurance rates go up.
I always question why, They know the area they live in they know the risks but yet they stay? loose it all rebuild loose it all again rebuild again after that cry and complain all there stuff is gone rebuild and wait till it happens again, I think they just like the aspect of feeling helpless and crave attention in worst ways possible, Glutton for punishment really.
They should all build solid arcs like Noah, just floats 😊
It's not wise to live in big cities, apparently.
I'd rather be in a small town during/after a disaster. MUCH better class of people. In a small town you're not going to have to worry about looting, civil unrest, etc.
This hurricane did more damage than our current president!; well, almost
😂😂😂😂 Tell me you listen to - and believe - right wing propaganda without telling me you're uneducated...
... and you obviously don't care, or aren't capable, of doing any actual research on how much BETTER life became after the convicted felon was fired in 2020.
You can't fix stupid.
But you can VOTE stupid out of government.
#DiaperDon is stupid.
#DementiaDon was voted out.
You're welcome.
Rent means you don’t own it…. I feel bad for the owner…. Hope they got their money
Ya . Keep messing with the jetstream and we all will suffer from geo engineered weather.
Cruel & unusual, so is we as a people , why we have full prisons & bad news on the tv round the clock , even Almighty God gets enough & we call it cruel & unusual! Go figure .
Jim was sexy in that blue shirt... Im bad I know..

Well we do mess god alot
We mess what?
When they starting talking about 'Climate Change, it was time for me to go. GOD is Very Angry and is sending us a WARNING to WAKE Up: Stop sinning, Stop breaking the 10 Commandments, stop stealing, cheating, lying, killing, hating, etc. Turn to God/Jesus for help, prayer, and strength, love, learn to love again in all, etc.
There's always 1 F88king god nutter in the comments, I wish all you god-believing MORONS would f up & DIE ... there is NO GOD so get the F**K over it !!!!!
I hear you, there are millions of people all over the world praying, but they are victims of these natural disasters, why does god punish them, he does not care, and my belief he does not exist.
Jim Cantore: The “Beer Belly” lose it! Get on KETO. 👍🏼
When the wise among men become dumb enough not to be able to tell a woman from a man.
a very boring documentary
