Fox 4 Meteorologist Trent Aric was live on air as an apparent tornado sweeped over the Matlacha Bridge. Conditions deteriorated rapidly on Wednesday as Hurricane Milton approached.
It looks like they're 6-8 feet above sea level...and they're calling for at least a 15 foot storm surge. Add in waves and the incoming sea will be over their roofs...
Those cops are BRAVE. All these first responders staying and working through this and helping others through it have all my admiration. I know it doesnt mean much but I just hope everyone makes it through this.
Theres a fine line between brave and idiotic if the matter becomes unnecessary...they werent stopping anyone, so why sit in its path? Clearly made no difference that they were there, at least in terms of protecting or deterring anyone. Nothing courageous, especially to your kids, about needlessly dying.
Fun fact, lemmings don’t actually jump off cliffs mindlessly, they were manipulated to do that by a documentary crew and then it became a misconception
I'm from S Florida and to all asking about the police... It's almost certain that they left the cars in position with lights on as a traffic deterrent. It's something they often do to discourage speeding. By the time you realize the car is empty you are right next to them and driving slow. That's the point.
Can't understate how dumb you'd have to be to drive over a bridge that has been closed by the police in the middle of a storm warning. No potential loss to property is worth taking the risk of being thrown into the sea or something in the middle of a hurricane!
As an Australian we have seen our share of serious cyclones in the northern parts of our country. Prayers are sent to the residents of Florida, essential emergency workers and those who have flown into help, and highly worried family and friends who live in other parts of the country but have people in Florida, and the Eastern states. Awaiting Hurricane Milton's impact, so soon after Hurricane Helene, even all the way here in Australia, is stressful and so I send my prayers for your safety to all of you.🙏🙏🙏🙏
From a Caribbean native.....some things we always have in times of Hurricanes to survive the aftermath: Flour, oil, baking powder/yeast, canned meat and veg, rice, pasta, coal, kerosene. All you need is three stones, some wood/coal and a pot. Look up recipes on YT for Johnny cake/fried dumplings/bakes. We also smoke alot of our meat/fish to preserve them to make some good one pot soups. Pasta/rice with corn beef and mixed veg was gourmet food after Hurricane Maria destroyed my island. Prayers going up stay safe!
Those first responders should not have to be there. Everyone needs to stop crossing the damn bridge, get off the damn roads, and if they need to close bridges, get all forms off life OFF the bridge and close it from the head of the bridge. Stop putting people in danger just because they are first responders.
@@DonaldMcNuGGeT Where is your sense of humanity, Troll? First responders can drown, too. And those vehicles driving over the bridge when the waterspout hit? Each vehicle had a driver. Each one of them was in danger of being blown off the bridge. I'll bet you think you're pretty brave. I'll bet if your car was blown into the water you wouldn't be such a make-believe tough guy anymore. You'd be crying for someone to come rescue you before your car sank and you were never seen again. You'd call 911 and beg the operator to send help. I know your exact last words too: "Waaah waaah waaaah".
What the heck were they even doing though? People were going back and forth on that bridge I don't understand why they were even stationed there they weren't doing anything
I don't understand why the police/1st respondets are on the bridge. Surely their lives are important too. Those people willing to chance it are idiots.
Willing to chance what? Have you considered they may not be aware a tornado is about to cross the bridge? It’s not like it’s on a schedule, it’s not like a train crossing. If the road’s closed they’ll turn back.
Sending my thoughts and prayers to Florida. May God bless you all. Let's hope this disaster goes away without any serious problem. Prayers from Canada 🇨🇦.
🇨🇦you pray that they stay safe?!? That’s like me jumping off a tall building and you saying I stay safe! Wow! Better thing to do is tell them to get off that bridge area and get to a safe place! Duh!🤔
They are crazy. And I'm a storm chaser. But to sit in a tornado, why would these officers put their lives in jeopardy for no reason. And parked next to the water. What is wrong with everyone..... at least park at a safer place. This was some crazy scary stuff
@@TravisTheSavage oh you’re so cool. Everybody else has to pay tax dollars to help save people like you when it’s no longer a joke. And first responders have to risk their lives to save these morons.

I asked similar questions when I saw people out side at a picnic when Hurricane Helene came through. Not sure why people risk so much and don't plan and think ahead.
I survived Hurricane Katrina as an essential worker at a hospital near the beach. I still have night terrors almost 20 yrs later. People were dismissive of that one too & there’s still a missing persons list & we never fully recover. So, I am enraged at the stubborn, entitled persons risking their family by not evacuating & even driving around like it’s another regular old Wednesday. I volunteered to help our local coroner to sort & store BODY PARTS of victims, cause yeah, people not always die in one piece during a natural disaster & during that time we were finding ourselves in stifling silence. Then, about two weeks in, the coroner said, ”If people just left when they were supposed to, I’d have less bodies to count.” That hit hard to hear, a physical gut punch. So, it’s not brave to be filming yourself in a car surrounded by flood water, it’s not heroic vlogging live standing on your porch. IF YOU’RE NOT MEDICAL OR PART OF A RESCUE ESSENTIAL WORKER, SHELTER IN PLACE OUT OF THE DIRECT PATH IN A LOW RISK FLOOD PLAIN OR LEAVE. Your dead body doesn’t need to be found if you listen to COMMON SENSE & get out of the way. Or ya can just be on a missing persons list 20 yrs from now.

As an l.e.o for over 32 years in gulf coast, is there ANY law enforcement chief that explain why you would have 2 mark units with lights flashing with, I’m assuming police officers inside, sitting on open road while a hurricane is hitting that direct location? What possible action could they take at that time except not get killed or injured.
That was awesome 👏🏼.. predicting a water spout / tornado then watching it cross the camera live was excellent !! Great job guys !! 👏🏼👏🏼 well done !! Bravo 👏🏼
It was reported and then started to be tracked. If you throw a ball down a court you can predict pmuch the direction and someone could go to the other end/half way and watch it as it passes. You’re pretty dumb. Don’t make future generations of that gene pool please.
I have family in that area. They have evacuated but I still pray for the people who are left behind or chose to stay. My hats off to those first responders. Thank You For All That You Do. May God be with you, your families, and your property.
I think we're all praying for them. I have a really bad feeling too. Although I'm not sure why I'm so worried since I don't know anyone there or even know someone that knows someone. I hope those first responders down there stay safe.
Those first responders should be given a medal for bravery keeping folk off the bridge, bit having to stay put themselves in the midst of that storm moving over the bridge.
That happened to me over a decade ago. The windshield looked like I was underwater, the water just sloshing sideways across it. The car was rocking like it would flip, and I didn’t want to keep driving because I couldn’t see anything but water outside the car in any direction. Found out when I arrived at work, that they were asking people not to leave due to the severe thunderstorm, and a waterspout had been tracked crossing the causeway as I was driving over it.
We got stuck in a storm like that in Tallahassee. Not a hurricane, just a bad thunderstorm. Even the tractor trailers were pulling over to the side of the road. Could not see anything. Very scary. In FL they have signs overhead warning you of the storm, but we didn't have anywhere to go as we were just traveling through.
Preayers for the people of Florida that they will stay safe and get through this. I hope the officers and everyone else are okay. This is scary🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I am in Australia. I saw on the news over there the first responders are taken off the streets once winds get to a certain strength. Makes me sick how irresponsible the public are with other people's lives not heeding warnings >:(
Why TF are vehicles being let across this bridge in these conditions? Those first responders should be blocking traffic at the ends and not sitting in the path of this thing.
some maybe people evacuating, some others may be first responders attending to their duties, could be medical staff, volunteers, some others could have been trapped in traffic till 1 hour ago and are able to reach the bridge only now. There are way too many legit possibilities, before you cast your judgement.
@@ChrisPatrick-q6k , planned this?! Oh you spoke to "him" and "he" told you "he" planned it out.... So why didn't you warn anyone?! Why didn't you STOP "him", convince "him" NOT to do it!! You should be arrested and held accountable for your complicity in death and destruction!!! Yea, sounds just as absurd as your suggestion.🙄If you're not going to learn about who "God" is & read the Bible for understanding, then you're just wasting valuable time putting your ignorance on display. It's really UNWISE to be wasting valuable time on ignorance because there is only a finite amount of time for each person. As it is written in James 4:14, "...whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away." THINK about what you're doing with your life and time, use it to get to know God and His Son Jesus Christ AND show your Family how much you love them because you/they can be gone from this life in an instant, which is what these people are facing in FL, those in NC, TN and other areas have also experienced. "God" isn't hovering out in the ocean "twirling His Finger, spinning storms to ravage the land and take people's lives, creating fear, heartache and despair...." The devil loves FEAR and one label given him is "prince of the power of the air." He possesses SOME power/authority to wreak havoc upon the Earth. God also CURSED THE GROUND when Adam & Even disobeyed Him so the Earth is a DANGEROUS PLACE as much as it is beautiful. He has created a variety of processes which are "self-governing." He's not floating in space "grabbing dust and shaping new planets", it's a self-governing process just as you don't have to physically grab your abdomen and extend it to breathe or physically depress it to exhale every few seconds. It's an "involuntary contraction", a self-governing process carried out by the brain, all of which God created....

As an l.e.o for over 32 years in gulf coast, is there ANY law enforcement chief that explain why you would have 2 mark units with lights flashing with, I’m assuming police officers inside, sitting on open road while a hurricane is hitting that direct location? What possible action could they take at that time except not get killed or injured.
More then likely empty.
God be with you people of Florida! 🙏
Even god has given up on these morons
But this is classed as an act of god.
God ain’t with anyone on this. He trying to kill you all. Stop praying to god and get out of Florida!!!
@@tirokopita really...I have a Zoom meeting with man himself later today...I'll get back to you! 😇
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
That was awesome 👏🏼.. predicting a water spout / tornado then watching it cross the camera live was excellent !! Great job guys !! 👏🏼👏🏼 well done !! Bravo 👏🏼
They didn't predict it, it was already on the radar and had been reported to them.
It was reported and then started to be tracked. If you throw a ball down a court you can predict pmuch the direction and someone could go to the other end/half way and watch it as it passes. You’re pretty dumb. Don’t make future generations of that gene pool please.
Agreed. Bill paxton would be proud.
I have family in that area. They have evacuated but I still pray for the people who are left behind or chose to stay. My hats off to those first responders. Thank You For All That You Do. May God be with you, your families, and your property.
Prayers from Texas. We are watching helplessly
Helpless because prayers don't work and god doesn't exist.
Florida has a special place in my family’s heart, praying for you all 🙏🏻🇺🇸🇬🇧
Mine too. 🙏
I think we're all praying for them.
I have a really bad feeling too. Although I'm not sure why I'm so worried since I don't know anyone there or even know someone that knows someone.
I hope those first responders down there stay safe.
@@Nirrrinamaybe you're worried because human life matters even when it's people you don't know
OMG THE FIRST RESPONDERS IN THE CAR!!!!! 😢😢😢😢
Those first responders should be given a medal for bravery keeping folk off the bridge, bit having to stay put themselves in the midst of that storm moving over the bridge.
They need leave thier really roasting thier lives
Staying there is a stupid decision they should be fired, your life is first and loosing it won’t save other lives later!
They didn't stop anyone from crossing the bridge, and they are bone heads.
Who did they keep off of the bridge? I saw bidirectional traffic including a trailer while the rotation happened.
I saw traffic coming in as the water spout went over the bridge. No one should be on that bridge or in town.
That happened to me over a decade ago. The windshield looked like I was underwater, the water just sloshing sideways across it. The car was rocking like it would flip, and I didn’t want to keep driving because I couldn’t see anything but water outside the car in any direction.
Found out when I arrived at work, that they were asking people not to leave due to the severe thunderstorm, and a waterspout had been tracked crossing the causeway as I was driving over it.
Damn...that's a gotta change my shorts moment if I've ever heard one
SO glad you made it through that one ok!
@@giniaugustine5954
Charmed life for sure…not sure if it’s safer to stay far away from me, or stay really close!
@@johnjr757 I had no idea what it was as it happened…besides scary 😱
We got stuck in a storm like that in Tallahassee. Not a hurricane, just a bad thunderstorm. Even the tractor trailers were pulling over to the side of the road. Could not see anything. Very scary. In FL they have signs overhead warning you of the storm, but we didn't have anywhere to go as we were just traveling through.
from saudia🇸🇦 stay safe and strong we pray for you 🤲
Preayers for the people of Florida that they will stay safe and get through this. I hope the officers and everyone else are okay. This is scary🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
If you are willingly staying in an evacuation zone then you don't deserve prayers
Way too many people who think its OK to stay despite evacuation orders. 160 miles until the eye makes landfall near Tampa and 160MPH winds.
Prayers for all the people caught up in the path of this hurricane.
I am in Australia. I saw on the news over there the first responders are taken off the streets once winds get to a certain strength. Makes me sick how irresponsible the public are with other people's lives not heeding warnings >:(
Prayers for the officers
Donuts would help more 😂
Prayers aint doing nothing for this one
Bless all these people man!!
What a great video showing it from the beginning. Thank you. God Bless all those in the middle of this.
I’m from NC and I can’t believe ppl are driving in this. They are crazy!
My boss would want me back at work in the morning.
Is that the Matlache Bridge? Couldn't quite get the name as he only mentioned it 74 times.
It's French, and it's fun to say LoL
Bro really drove a trailer through a tornado on a bridge next to another vehicle.
I don't know whether to clap or cuss the fool...why would anyone still be driving over the bridge at all
Yep, a brain dead idiot
Очевидно
If its the tornado, then its a joke 😂
2:21 to 2:29
Wow, kudos for bravery and dedication for the officers stationed on the bridge.
That’s simply trrrifying, I can’t imagine how it felt like inside those cars….😢
Prayers for the officers 😢
Prayers don't work.

Why TF are vehicles being let across this bridge in these conditions? Those first responders should be blocking traffic at the ends and not sitting in the path of this thing.
Thank you 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽… I’m wondering the same thing?🤔
Natural selection
I'm saying right, like 6 people just drove through the whole thing like ya'll dumb , I know you see that storm over there.
So blocking traffic so that nobody can leave is the best solution that you came up with?...people are still trying to get out of there, silly.
some maybe people evacuating, some others may be first responders attending to their duties, could be medical staff, volunteers, some others could have been trapped in traffic till 1 hour ago and are able to reach the bridge only now. There are way too many legit possibilities, before you cast your judgement.
Praying for the officers ! They are there to protect others❤
You got to love these news anchors and reporters. They get so dramatic about every thing even if a cat is rescued from a tree they get hyped up
Stay safe. I'm praying for you from Cancun. We understand what you are going through right now.
I'm from Brazil, and I'm impressed by this hurricane! I hope everything goes well for you in Florida.

This is terrifying, please pray for our first responders
It is not looking good! This is a monster! God have mercy! 😢
You would pray for assistance re your first responders to the deity or deities you believe responsible for this catastrophe in the first place?
I feel like god could have intervened much earlier
Not sure what the cops are doing there. If they're just going to let people drive over it why bother?
Stopping traffic.
made no sense see that pickup driving across? They are the kind that get Darwin awards.. google it if you don't get my meaning.

Thank you all for the prayers for Florida.❤❤❤❤
Praying to the same god who planned this?
@@ChrisPatrick-q6k Never mind *planned* , this is the same god that *sent* it
@@ChrisPatrick-q6k You're a retard.
@@ChrisPatrick-q6k , planned this?! Oh you spoke to "him" and "he" told you "he" planned it out.... So why didn't you warn anyone?! Why didn't you STOP "him", convince "him" NOT to do it!! You should be arrested and held accountable for your complicity in death and destruction!!! Yea, sounds just as absurd as your suggestion.🙄If you're not going to learn about who "God" is & read the Bible for understanding, then you're just wasting valuable time putting your ignorance on display. It's really UNWISE to be wasting valuable time on ignorance because there is only a finite amount of time for each person. As it is written in James 4:14, "...whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away."
THINK about what you're doing with your life and time, use it to get to know God and His Son Jesus Christ AND show your Family how much you love them because you/they can be gone from this life in an instant, which is what these people are facing in FL, those in NC, TN and other areas have also experienced. "God" isn't hovering out in the ocean "twirling His Finger, spinning storms to ravage the land and take people's lives, creating fear, heartache and despair...." The devil loves FEAR and one label given him is "prince of the power of the air." He possesses SOME power/authority to wreak havoc upon the Earth.
God also CURSED THE GROUND when Adam & Even disobeyed Him so the Earth is a DANGEROUS PLACE as much as it is beautiful. He has created a variety of processes which are "self-governing." He's not floating in space "grabbing dust and shaping new planets", it's a self-governing process just as you don't have to physically grab your abdomen and extend it to breathe or physically depress it to exhale every few seconds. It's an "involuntary contraction", a self-governing process carried out by the brain, all of which God created....

What the hell is the point of the "first responders" sitting there doing nothing?
They will be the first to respond to their cars flooding.
Empty cars with the lights left on to improve visibility on the bridge and encourage safe driving.
If your small brain thinks hard enough you may just work it out
I love Matlacha and Pine Island. Prayers to all of you.
