At 68+ years I could not even imagine having to hunker down through mother nature at her worst. These people have lost everything and can NOT return any time soon. Y'all from Louisiana are THE toughest and strongest folks I know. Prayers from Chicago to all in need. The time for everyone everywhere to come together is NOW!!!
Grand Isle is a frigging Sand Bar. With ocean all around it. You want to live in the ocean, Hurricanes live there too
@@oldmech619 Well thanks for your wonderful comment. Everyone has their own opinion. Hopefully most people don't feel the same as you. Enjoy the day and your life. And I will too.
@@bobvogel2412 His comment isn't really as heartless as it sounds...every one wants to live right on the water, but it has ALWAYS been a risky place to live because hurricanes have always been occurring. If you insist on living a near sea level, at the very edge of the continent, you ought to accept this as a constant possibly.
If an area is totally destroyed, it could be declared undevelopable and then the same thing wouldn't happen in the same place.
But as always, people will build right up to the waters edge again. And when it happens again, everybody wants federal money and everyone's insurance goes up to cover the first mile inland. Why not back away from the water, or just accept the risk if you want permanent, expensive housing right on the beach.
@@bobvogel2412 I had a cabin in norther California. I loved it there in the summer. I got sick and tied of forest fires so I sold it. I did not have to wait until my cabin burned down to understand that a forest fire is a disrupter of life. I say this as NoCal is burning. I don’t know if that cabin is still there. Sad of all those that lose. Many had none other. Yes it is sad.
And Bob, one other thing. You said you could not imagine hunker down. I am in the 70s and live in SoCal. I I do Imagine hunkering down. I now live in an apartment. I walk two miles a day x7. I have enough food for two months and a way to cook it.. Lots of water and also water filters encase the water gets contaminated. I have batteries and a way to charge them. I have hand held radios for com and good long range radio receiver for emergency directions. Alway gas in the car. Bob, shit happens. It can happen national or local. You really need to prepare. There are always far too many people that become victims because they didn’t have the most basic of basics. You need to Think of what would happen if you have to hunker down. SHTF. It happened to those folds. Just part of life. Think that maybe one day a Supper Chill that freezes everything up for weeks. Ohhh I just thought, that happens all the time in Chicago anyways. Take care of yourself. Live safely. One day, it could be ten time worst
Actually Grand Isle has been sitting in a bullseye for decades, just never hit square on before by a big hurricane. Katrina just missed them and Rita got pretty close as well with some damages, but Ida was right on them. Hopefully a lot of people evacuated. The distribution of damages might be a clue regarding the quality of building materials used and the varying construction methods. Hard to avoid high storm surge and 150mph winds.
Never got to 150mph
@@Patrick-yh5yd what did it get too? It was at least 130 mph
All but about 80 people evacuated for the storm. Those who stayed were emergency management officials and hardcore residents who've never left for a storm.
@@Patrick-yh5yd got to 145
They never should if built there, that's like standing right in the middle of a shooting gallery.......duh.....
People that lived there ought to know hurricanes gonna take all
Thank you! I am in Cut Off, we are hurting, this is life altering!
I'm in Larose and you know we are all there for each other. I'm grateful you and I live in a community that takes care of each other
People who lost homes on an island or "below sea level area" that was devastated in Katrina AND Ida should NOT receive permits to rebuild in that same place. The state of Louisiana and the local area permitting authority needs to step up and SAY NO.
I maybe wrong, but wasn’t this once wetlands?
Absolutely correct
When have you ever known a government entity to refuse revenue (building permits, etc.)?
No freedoms with you! You could probably find a job in the Biden administration....js
@@bobberguy1 yes. Hurricane Rita. CAN
MERON AND HOLLY BEACH LOUISIANA
I wish that I had it to give. Cause I certainly would. I used to live in Lake Charles and I miss it so. Blessings!!!
Cover the island in mangroves and forests to help protect further inlands. This is not a good place for realestate.
Bingo
My family use to stay there for the summers when I was a child , 40 years ago ….so sad , I had great memories there ..
Holy- may those good souls Rest In Peace. That is insane and even if I don’t live in that area, may those people safe and okay.
My soul hurts for our country.🇺🇸🙏🏼☹
So tragic over there. We are all so sorry for your suffering. Sending love from Scotland. Uk ❣️
I know the pain the people are going through. Rita, Ike, Laura and Delta. Lake Charles, Louisiana native. Stay strong and safe. Trust in God and you will be fine
It's not about making money, it's about helping people get housing, says the realtor pulling up in his personal helicopter to check on his vacation property 👍🏼
some see tragedy others see opportunity
Hey Danny, You noticed that too. This 'reality' company is a bottom-feeder. Yeah don't go there but we'll buy you out. "It's not about the money." It seems its ALWAYS about the money to that dummy. People are traumatize & he's using the tragedy to take advantage of the tradgedy. I'm reporting this company to the Louisiana AG. Stay safe. v
If they have to tell you it's not about making money you should know it's about making money
No handouts here
it's about money, hence the tragic music
You would think that these people would get tired of losing everything over and over!
they like socialism, they just don't realize it
I lived in Mississippi and drove truck all over and through New Orleans ect... , I prayed for these Ida Hurricane Victims it's hard seeing this knowing it takes time to restore services and recover and all ready Larry the next storm is brewing in the Atlantic Ocean. I moved away from Mississippi I miss it but don't think I can endure the stress of living there any more even so I just pray .
You build a home in a place like that and hoping to get lucky forever?. Seriously..
Worked here for a few months helping those people, Grand Isle is truly a good place for anyone.
I miss seeing my guys at Port Fourchon every week. Praying for y’all to have strength and fortitude to clean it up & rebuild.
Ya'll are in our thoughts and prayers from South East Texas.
There is so much devastation happening around the world all at once
it's 😪😪 heart-breaking to see how much people are suffering, And my
prayers are with all the people of the world who are suffering loss of a
loved one🕊🙏🕊🙏🕊
Jesus Christ who loves you all so much, that He died for all mankind
🕊Is at the door & is returning soon, Believe in Jesus Christ, believe
in the Gospel of Salvation, be born again in Christ & you will be saved
to🕊everlasting life at His return. This is the GOOD NEWS of the Gospel
of Salvation & Jesus Christ promise to all who Believe in Him.🕊🙏🙏🕊
You do know if jesus did return we would never know the Catholic church would hide it or eliminate jesus because they make all that dirty money through his name. An institution more powerful than any government. The second he shows himself hes a target. Because the church would loose patrons.
@@nateroberts3308 that entity is not more powerful than GOD. JESUS will take his rightful place, and the worldly religion is simply a part of the anticipated battle.
@@deltabornflogrown2450 Jesus is simply the son of god im sure you read the 10 commandments it says thou shalt have no other gods before me. Yet in the church they often pray to jesus. The Catholic church prays to lucifer etc. In my opinion that there is the ultimate sin.
@@nateroberts3308 I was taught the only way to the FATHER is through the SON, I'm not even going to tell you your faith is wrong - that's not my right or place - I'm simply going to say I believe differently and will continue to honor CHRIST through prayer. I do not believe in structured religion anymore, but I was a southern Baptist and since my childhood, over 50 yrs ago, I was taught to honor GOD through the SON - but who knows maybe the return will prove my belief wrong.
@@nateroberts3308 you realize Jesus and God are the same being right?
Lot of damage.......nothing in the way to mitigate storm fury there. Best of luck and your neighbors in Texas will be sending help in any way we can. Hate this happened. Louisiana has had enough bad luck in past year.....and way to go on showing and putting out the call for folks to help with housing . good job, good luck
We are resilient we will come back from this stronger and more fierce than before we’re #LouisianaStrong you can’t keep us down 🤙🏼
Mother nature is stronger than you humans, but good luck.
Great video guys, thanks for sharing. Do you have any video of 2168 hwy 1 you can share? Beachside, 1 Mile from bridge side. It’s our family camp. Thanks
Life's a gamble just about anywhere you live. Some of these folks will say I won't do it again. Some will stay...roots are strong. They will pick themselves up and move on. That's the strength of human nature in the majority of us. I was in Lafitte the other day. The couple we met were head strong and determined. You knew it was tough on them but they joked and laughed with us and got back to working on cleaning up after we left. Never sell yourself short...you're alot stronger than you might believe.
God bless
We were camping on Grand Isle the week that Ida hit. Fortunately some locals at one of the restaurants recommended that we evacuate before an order was given. I had checked for hurricanes the week before we arrived, Ida came up so fast. Everything was fine on Monday and by Thursday we were gone. Incredibly sad.
I live in Ireland where we very rarely get anything resembling a real hurricane yet I'm sure 99% of our buildings (other than holiday chalets by the beach) are built of stone, bricks and concrete. Why build houses built of match sticks in hurricane zones ?
Money.
Because the salt water will eventually eat away at bricks, concrete an stone, those beams or so deep on the ground it won't move. But you think someone from the Florida keys are gonna move there house
Never build on a barrier island unless you’re house is disposable to you
I know this has been a while, but y'all featured the street rosethorn a bit! that's where my dad's camp is that he owns with his friends. I just came back from there yesterday and it's really bounced back. but there's still so much ruin that is showing and it's still devestating
Eye opening to see the structures from ground. Might have a roof, but the rest is blown out
Many people will choose to rebuild their vacation homes. Others will sell their lot and someone else will build a vacation home there. I just wonder how much of the island has been washed away by the storm surge and how much will disappear in the next 10 years as climate change causes the water level to rise in the Gulf.
Personally I would just wait for that adjuster's check & take right off! I wouldn't rebuild anything in such an area - look at it! It is basically right on the ocean!
Ingrid, being right on the ocean is the benefit, it is the reason people build there. It is great to live there during summer - a lot of people build "camps", which is not their main home but is a place to go for enjoyment.
Personally, now that Greenland is melting, I'm thinking this Iowa farm girl could get a piece of land and maybe grow corn?! LOL!
Yeah, that's where I think I'D be heading off to! 🤣
@@GailColeman - yeah, Greenland, the new breadbasket of the world! (I love cornbread!)
Thoughts and prayers from South carolina
This was the strongest winds and rain I ever saw and sat threw in my life in New Orleans, you thinking it's over cuz your power out and phone dead then 160mph winds start back up. This definitely home tho
Why do people build homes there? Isn't it below Sea Level? Isn't it "a given" the water and they storms will destroy their homes? I would imagine they have really good Home Owners Insurance!
New Orleans is below sea level not Grand isle.
Also it's easier if they have another home somewhere else.
grand isle is literally next to the ocean if it was below sea level it would literally not be a town lol
Don’t you see it above the level of the sea? There is more to Louisiana than just New Orleans
Not all of Louisiana is below sea level...Just most of New Orleans..
I'm from Mississippi, and from what I'm hearing is that Ida was worst than Katrina. In Mississippi we were affected by Katrina all the way to Madison, Jackson, Brandon, that far down, God spared us this time. That's why I asked the question the news keep saying, this storm was worse than Katrina. Was it? If it was than Lord have mercy please💔💔💔💔💔 God please give the people peace and restore them 😥😥😥praying for the world🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾❤❤❤❤❤❤❤God has us.
man this is depressing, the last time i was here was in december of 2014, wanted to visit here again, guess thats never happening
Us Louisiana's build quick. We always stand by each other and help one another
Yea, you may say it's not about making money, however your neighbors in the real estate market are!!!! How often do you want to rebuild your home? Thankfully most people had left , north east wasn't as lucky with about 70 deaths because of Ida ,crazy flooding!!! Every one be safe hurricane season is not over yet!!!! 2021
May god bless everyone in the path of any hurricane or tornado!!!!
Yea he blessed them didn't he...
aren't the storms God's will?
Grand Isle and Lake Charles had Trump boat parades, and whamo...
God is mad at the pussy grabbing family values cult
Grand Isle has always been in the paths of hurricanes. And many hurricanes have cleaned the island except for a few structures. It will happen again. Just a beautiful place but not a place you can count on as far as structures are concerned.
Thats so sad they been hit hard with couple hurricanes.god bless them.prayers
If I were in charge, I would buy out the property owners and not rebuild anything. What is the point?
Unfortunately this is just how it goes. I have a camp in Venice. It barely survived Katrina. It just got damaged again in Ida. It’s the risk we all take for loving to be on the water. It’s no surprise we just hate when it happens!
Nowhere near devastation at Crystal Beach, Galveston from H. Ike....that was total devastation, check it out, you'll see.
Forbid development on barrier islands any where!!
No.
One thing stands in the way of your logical solution: $$$$$$$$$$$$$. Too much money being made off of coastal swamp homes.
This is so sad, these people need all the help they can get. God help them all.
+
This is why you don’t level hills and cut down trees that island looks way too flat out
Now is the right time to buy view
I feel really sorry for them. I've lived on the gulf coast for 64 years. This is what happens. Sorry. If you want to live there, you roll the dice. After all the good times, it only takes one bad day to change everything. It's nothing new.
Grand Isle, Louisiana area and the Bolivar Peninsula area in Texas are probably the two most dangerous places to live on the Gulf Coast. These locations are only a few feet above sea level with no natural barriers (like the 35 ft. sand Dunes found in Central and S. Texas beaches). It only takes a weak storm to over-wash the beach in Grand Isle and the Bolivar Peninsula. I honestly can't believe Insurance Companies would even cover homes built in these areas. These homes will be constantly destroyed about every 10-20 years on average, if that long. I have a degree in Geography and I have written papers on the natural erosional properties of Gulf Coast Beaches. These homes being destroyed are a natural process of Barrier Island movement (erosion). If it weren't for the sea wall, Galveston would also be on this list, even though it is still very vulnerable to a major hurricane (especially the areas not protected by the sea wall). Once you move further down the coast towards Port Aransas, the natural Dune Barrier becomes much more established and offers much greater protection from Storm Surge.
So sad, but true
So many people lost their second weekend homes...
How can they afford the insurance cost?
Oh My 🙏🏾God 💔😢😭💔
Devastating each year gets worse
The stupidity of building on the beach in a hurricane zone never would think that this could happen
So everyone on the entire gulf coast and the east coast of the United States is stupid? Because that’s exactly what you’re saying! What about people who live where earthquakes happen are they stupid? What about people who live where tornadoes happen I guess they’re stupid as well huh?
I feel absolutely sick to see this. Big ups to my man Tab Benoit from Houma.
Surviving structures with little or no damage should set the building standards for any new construction.
I'm just a dumb ole country boy but even I question building a home surrounded by water, seven FEET above sea level. My dad raised a fool, but it's my sister.
Be nice to that sister-please. v
Love canal New York. Never rebuilt there.
Amen and Amen
Good video. Can't imagine going back to live there
I can’t believe it’s been almost 2 months.
Where can I get a bracelet that I seen??
So sad to continually see such sadness....the gov should not allow to either build too closely to the ocean or force the construction to be up to the years we r living now with the climate change...so sad 😞
After the hurricane, it does not matter you have money to rebuild your home, but you might not easily find the construction materials.
How about you prayer lovers pray these people use their brain for once to stop building in the same spot after it keeps getting blown away. The world weather has been changed years ago and the earth literally has enough space for every single person to have 2 acres of land to themselves but we choose to bunch up right along the ocean
Hey @@The1970Jman , I did some reading about the Last Island Hurricane & the issues about the channeling of the Mississippi river; interesting. Maybe, the state will turn Grand Isle into a bird sanctuary, maybe... You'd think the Audubon Society would encourage measures to prevent soil erosion. That company is a bottom-feeder who's preying on traumatised people 5 days after Ida! They're just lowdown people. They can expect a visit/letter from the Louisiana AG. Stay safe. v
How far are people relocating? Out of state?
I read Texas, Mississippi, Florida, Arkansas, & north, within Louisana. v
Have you anything for sale
Government needs to buy the property and make it a state park turn it into the wetlands it used to be
Was high dry ground 100 years ago. Full of citrus trees and cow pastures. You know not of what you speak.
Living on the water in Louisiana is like playing Russian Roulette with a fully loaded gun.
WuooooQue.Pena Pon los niños y la persona que no tienencasas Dios le bendiga estaré orando por ustedes siempre Dios te..🙏🏡💓🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Qué pena cuánto lo sentimos
@@The1970Jman muchas gracias que esté muy bien .
Can I buy property there and how much is it worth now?
Every hurricane is historic now. A cat 1 will come up they will say its the worst hurricane ever. This was bad but it was not Katrina.
Money is the root of all evil people always cherishing materialistic things on earth not for eternity
It's a failed system, people strive to get rich instead of furthering intelligence and innovation.
The LOVE of money is the root .... Not money
Read your bible! THE LOVE OF MONEY, is the root of all evil. The bible says money answers all things.
@@nikkitobin8356 Evidently you know what I mean it don’t make no difference it’s still true sheer hell and evil
Wrong types of building, in the wrong place :(
Theirs a small home for sale on paulmalard road in st Charles parish . I don't remember the name of the real estate company
Adeus Grand Isle!
🤣
What is Adeus...some kind of tequila? They'll be fine because they're tough. You're not.
@@KB-ke3fi it means farewell or goodbye in Portuguese.
Some of those places show no visible damage at all.
I went thru the hurricane. I was sitting on my bed and everything in the house shook I sat on my bed ripping my bong thru it all
I hope nobody was killed here. What a shame it took the hit dead on. I guess they’ll rebuild? If they do rebuild, it’s going to take a while for them to complete. Poor people.
When I saw pictures a few days after Ida was over with I was amazed that they would build on a very small strip of land close to sea level in an area that does get hurricanes. A storm surge would cause extensive damage as well I guess.
Sorry, but don't buy or build in a hurricane zone.
Same for flood zones.
Can't always predict where nature will hit, but you know the higher risk areas.
Now everything is back to normal
👍🏽
May the peace of God be with everyone... 🙏🏻
What is left to go home to???
I been going help in grand isle at my boss camp going again tomorrow its horrible there no where for the rain water to go the streets or flooded camps destroyed mold setting in sand everywhere again
Why do people live in hurricane zones then get surprised when hurricanes actually hit them??? Lol
Because insurance will allow them to build bigger each time...
There's no reason to live in areas that are destroyed on a periodic basis.
They won't get it til it's too late. I'm going to automatically assume that when it gets worst, which will be soon, these people will be fleeing north. So will people from the east coast. This will overwhelm midwestern resources and make the American economy even more competitive. I just noticed Chicago real estate prices skyrocket shortly after hurricane Ida flooded New York. Coincidence? I think not 🤔
@@chazl9531 After the flood of '55, I moved to a granite mountaintop. Now the only danger to my life is the government.
Doesn’t looks as bad as Cameron la after Rita there wasn’t anything left.it was down to the sand.I guess it because of the updated construction
We lost our camp in grand isle
Sorry to read that. Hope you're safe. My sister's in Metairie & got electricity after 10 days. Suggestion: Don't sell your property to the bottom-feeder that posted this video. Stay safe. v
What do they expect moving right on the shore....i fill sorry for them but why would you move there or stay in them areas
Why do people live in tornado alley or where there's earthquakes.. or wild fires.....
Why do people live along every bit of coastline in the U.S.?
No high rises either. Planes could fly into them.
Most work in the oil business so you can have power and plastic to get online and ask why.
