We avoided this in Jamaica 🇯🇲 but am saddened about the devastation in Canada . One love.
thanks man, but jamaica is tropical and knows how to deal with hurricanes. They usually know how to act and what to expect from a storm, these people in canada don't know this weather very well and we dont built our homes to withstand cyclones, just snow and rain.
@@hans3331000 thanks comrade. Be safe .

Much respect 👍

This is so very heartbreaking. Those of us who came out of Fiona unscathed, but for losing our power for a day or two, and the contents of our fridges and freezer, need to be so very Grateful.....so very grateful.
Oh my God, I can't believe it! Port aux Basques was the first stop during my holiday trip to St. John's. It was such a lovely little town with beautiful port... It physically hurts to watch these videos... Same as these from P.E.I. Sending prayers from Poland!
Hello Hermosa: It is very overwhelming to watch such devastation to such BEAUTIFUL people and a BEAUTIFUL province. GOD BLESS EVERYONE! Watching from Windsor, Ontario Canada 🙏🙏🙏
As someone who survived some of the worst storms in US history (Andrew, Katrina, Rita, Laura etc) and is a disaster first responder, my heart desperately goes out to all of these people effected by Fiona. The recovery & rebuilding is going to take years if not decades and they will need all the help and support they can get from anyone willing to lend a hand. I know this because my house just got finished being rebuilt from Laura after 6 giant oaks & pines fell on it and crushed half of it and much of my neighborhood and the area as a whole has only started to scratch the surface of rebuilding several years later. There are parts of New Orleans that were not done being rebuilt from Katrina when Delta rolled through and caused even more damage. if you can lend a hand physically, emotionally, or financially I ask you do so. you have no idea how big of a help it really is to receive a warm meal or a helping hand with cleanup & gutting houses when you have gone 30 days without power or water.
Thankyou for your intelligent concern. Canadian first responders generally know their stuff, but it is a new thing for this part of Canada. Huge snowstorms are normal in Nova Scotia and Newfoundland, but they don't sweep away houses. Unfortunately, these communities are historically tied to the sea --- fishing towns for centuries --- and the little salt-box houses are often perched right near the shore. Things will have to be rebuilt differently. But these are tough, resilient people. I know them. They'll be fine. If you've seen "Come From Away" you'll understand.
@@philpaine3068 being from S. Louisiana I understand all too well what it means to be tied to the water. We started elevating our homes close to the water long ago since storms like this are a regular occurrence. This will keep your house from flooding if the storm isn't a direct hit but there is almost zero you can do to atop a house being washed away when the storm is a direct hit. I've seen entire huge casinos and their hotels pushed off their foundations and entire towns where the only thing left is the concrete steps & slabs & in ground swimming pools. Riding out a storm like this and surviving it changes you at your core. I can tell you I'm a much different person than I was before hurricane Katrina, and I've changed even more since Laura. I hope the wider community is ready to help for the long haul & provide these people with the mental h emotional Healthcare they will be needing.
My heart goes out to the people who have endured this horrific storm. I will be donating whatever I can to help.
Thank you very much, me too.
Where can we donate?
@@diannagreen7808
Red Cross for one.
Crazy stuff, but there don't appear to be much damage to the old saltbox houses , just the newer ones. they don't make like they used to. Imagine lifting and dragging a modern house down to the water, towing a few miles and dragging to it's new resting place without breaking the windows.
Omg
I hop
hope everyone is safe now...but if I know the Canadian's from the east coast all pull together and help each other out..so sorry about the woman who lost her life
So heartbreaking.
My thoughts and prayers to the family and friends of the lost soul 🙏🙏🙏 RIP
So, so sad to see this destruction. Prayers 🙏🏾
How very, very sad! GOD BLESS YOU ALL!
I hope the people get the help they need soon
Heartbreaking!
These are newfies..they are strong people with enormous heart. They can and will rebuild but its so sad to see the loss of loved ones. Those islanders have had to become a tough group of folks ,and this isnt their first rodeo. Please do what you can for these people as they dont often ask for help so when they do ask...you know its bad.
So sorry to see this I hope people are safe and healthy , so sorry to hear about the lady 😢😢
How can we help these people😢
That's some hard reporting there. Bless your heart!
So sad, I hope those people can get help soon
She is already heavenly home with, I am sure SHE PRAYED TOO. With all in the path of such a storm. I will pray for RECOVERY of health wholeness
We are so fortunate in Ontario. Cannot even imagine . God bless everyone !
this was my old neighborhood lives there till I was 14
Ohh My God
Are the ferries still running?
If you are ever left in the wake of a disaster, I can think of no better place to be than NFLD. You know that your friends and neighbors will be there to help you. GB the ppl of NFLD.
We had quite a bad windy winter last year, here in Yorkshire. The winds were over 120mph and I lost 3 slates off my roof.
Honestly Americans, why do you continue to build houses out of sticks in vulnerable places. Next to the ocean, you always get extremes of weather.
We have these things in England called Bricks and Stones. When you join them together with a substance called Cement, it makes a wall of great strength. Our houses here in some places are over 250 years old and are still standing with people living in them.
In the north of England we have a mountain range called the Pennines. My village is directly next to the Pennine Mountains and we get the worst of the weather and my house has been standing through several big storms for over the 75 years since it was built.
So sad 😢
Wow,
Stay strong , beside life everything can be rebuild , sympathy and REGARDS Ziggy Alberta
How many Hurricanes come through this area?
Search engines. They're a thing.
🥺
Anyone know the best way to donate money for their recovery?
Red cross
These poor people. There has to be an organization we can give to in order to help - I wonder if the red cross is going to be involved...To be continued
My heart goes out to the people affected by the storm Fiona. I pray that God Almighty help them for a quick reconstruction to take place. It reminds me again that the force of nature is in the hands of God, not climate change. There is nothing mankind can do to
mitigate the force of nature. Only God's mercy can provide good and stable weather.
Why didn't you pray for god to not create the hurricane in the first place? More preventative praying was in order.
May God bless them all Ameen
if all the people in Ontario with their Newfie flags would head back to where they call home they could help them out.
That would be a blessing. Great idea.
Live next to the ocean and it’s unholy wrath is felt in storms such as these. Terrifying today the least.
Wth happened? What’s going on in NL 😢
💔💔💔💔💔
I remind myself first.
Repent, repent, repent.
My condolence to all you. And stay safe.
that microphone though. fiona didnt stand a chance.
So sad for those Newfoundlanders….
Why commercials on news items?
Oh waaah, you had to watch an ad.
I believe it's to make money. Have you ever watched news on TV and not seen commercials? It's what PAYS for the news.
Really sh itty situation. Hopefully u guys will receive the aid you need. Also unfortunate that other people will see this as a good time to put in their 2 cents as construction experts or somehow make this political.
In lieu of prayers, these people are accepting cash donations.
...time to rebuild...
NL is in dire need of help. Are Red Cross out there? Is the government doing anything other than "matching" Canadian's donations??
Everyone hates the government until they suddenly need the government.
This is the beginning, it will get worse sadly
I think people will be having second thoughts about building right by the water with increasing climate events.🤔🇨🇦
Live on the water, pay the price.
I don't live out east but if I learned anything from the hurricanes that rip through the states is.......stop building on the coastline. I know it's hard or easier said than done but this is harder. My heart and prayers to my fellow people
Yeah, I wouldn't want an oceanfront home like these. Nice views but now they're homeless. I suppose you can make a concrete home that is more resilient, but they're double the cost. Most people do things on the cheap, not the most expensive way.
@@OMGWTFLOLSMH these aren't "Oceanfront summer homes built for the view". These house were built 75, 80 years ago, mostly by fishermen who work on the sea. That is where they are gonna build. Not 10 km in the woods.
I'm so glad that Justin got his photo op... I wonder how many sand bags they could have set up in the hour he pretended to help for the cameras?
Sand bags for 15 M storm surges? Ok.
@@Nicole911able I don't get what you are saying... The video of his confrontation with volunteers trying to save homes was caught on camera and was all over the place yesterday.
Just cause things are bad doesn't mean you don't try to help save homes. I know that how you and our leader think, but that is not okay.
Where is the help from our government? I know, in Pakistan ...
sweet footage super heavy metal
So said God helps u
Start building stone and brick houses at those areas. That what happened there is nothing to be surprised. Wood is for sheds not for houses.
Some of these houses are 70-80 years old...or older. They weren't built last week.
Who'd have thunk building out of wood on the oceanfront is disastrous?

This is just the beginning folks- imagine it 10x worse. Cut carbon emissions, NOW! or deal with the consequences…
Cut the population. 7 billion energy-using people are contributing to this.
Hey whatever underpaid intern who posted this video: You forgot to add the description when you pasted the rest of the description. I can see the chunk of the template "(Brief Description - key names, phrases)"
This is incredibly funny.
Have a nice day
You obviously know absolutely nothing about Newfoundland. She's probably the entire crew along with her camera operator.
Time to start building homes like in the tropical countries, steel, rock and concrete, there is no way around it
Yeah, if I was building this close to the ocean, I would be building an ICF home.
Wow this is not good well I hope for the next builders of all ocean area will high rise the house much higher so in future the waves whont affect higher grounds as 8 feet taller from the ground
Those houses didn’t look like they were built to withstand a storm , hopefully they get enough insurance to build something sturdier and not so close to the shore line .
They don't typically get hurricanes up that far. They're not used to it.
@@oriraykai3610 Yes we do. I live in port aux and we get hurricanes during the season bi-weekly. We are no stranger to storms. These homes routinely withstand category 3 hurricanes. We don’t even close school for anything cat 3 or under. Fiona was like something out of a movie. The typical storm surges they have in the US are a weekly occurrence here. We have natural and man made breakwaters that withstand those easily. It doesn’t make the news because next to no damage is ever done. This was just classified as a tropical storm so we had NO IDEA what we were going to face. This was the strongest storm to ever hit Canada pressure wise. If a storm of this magnitude happened in the US, it would be Katrina all over again. We are so used to major hurricanes.
Shouldn't build so close to the water.
the three Ls of real estate seem to top common good sense every time / maybe it's all worthwhile and then, maybe it isn't.
Wait a second.. Thats my house!!
hardship is necessary for soul-development
Yeah that's not a whole lot of money of damage just one spot that is severely damaged. What the video showed of damage is probably no more than 4 million of damage at the most. I would say probably 2.5 million. Looks to be about 4 to 5 houses that are severely damaged. But with total damage of everything I could see it being around 20 million. And that means flood damage In homes not just destroyed homes. Good thing Ukraine owes Canada a lot of money they could support that.
It's up to 76 homes so far.They're just showing one section of town in the east end.
@@fridaythe13thpartx Yeah there would be water damage in a lot of them if the storm surge went up to their doorstep.
@@fridaythe13thpartx Approximately 150000 per home would be approximately 11 million. And I even left 9 million for other things that might be different.

Cardboard and wood houses are not meant to withstand Storms....We need iron and concrete and brick houses in Canada.
When you live this close to the ocean eventually this happens.
Not sure what your point is...? Of course there are risks, but most people who live that close live their entire lives without that happening - it was literally a once in a lifetime event that the majority survived without grave consequence. But yes, nor all were so lucky and for them we are sorry.
But again, not quite sure exactly what it was you were trying to express... that they should've known better?
False equivalence. Look it up.
You build a town on the edge of an open ocean, know for violent storms… 🤷🏻♂️
@@donnacabot3550 build a 100 meters in from the coast and use cement blocks for construction
What a moronic assertion. Canada's E coast rarely deals with extreme storms. N.L. was 1st settled in 1583 and this is only the 2nd Tropical storm to make it this far N and cause this kind of damage. N.L. was literally an island supported by fishing for the longest time, of course the settlements are going to be on or near the water. Why wouldn't you if Tropical storms weren't affecting the communities for hundreds of years?
@@worstknightmayor4439 this town was settled hundreds of year ago. By fishermen. They didn't have cement mixers to build concrete foundation houses in the late 1800's. Some of these houses have been there for 75, 80 years, even longer. You're a fishermen, you don't build a house inland from the water. And they were on cliffs 30 feet high. They have been there for decades. A fifteen meter wave with a storm surge is gonna do whatever it wants.
Yeah, sorta like Bermuda, or the Bahamas, or any island in the Caribbean...or any city up and down the eastern seaboard of the US. Jeez...what were they thinking?🙄
Breaking news: storm causes damage.
Hidden: markets are crashing, inflation is rising, taxes increasing....
People do not have any business living that close to the water. It was disaster waiting to happen.
Been there for close to 500 years, until now!
I've seen worse when I lived in the US.
wow brian, you’re really, really cool. great place to put your opinion.
So? Who said this was the worst storm destruction in recorded history? No one.
Start a fire wood busines. I'm sure that would be booming for winter
Government could've done something 🤣 liberals b like
This will repeat. Do not rebuild.
I wouldn't let you people live peacefully on my earth without fulfilling agreements.
The fossil fuel industry is responsible !
