My daddy was a shrimper in Rockport, TX and I remember him working so hard as this was his livelihood. He provided well for us growing up in the 50s & 60s & he'd let us sit on his boat just like these children when he came home from the sea. God Bless these folks. Now where's the kleenex?

Good "hardy" shrimp fishermen. So sorry for their loss, but these folks will not let this storm get them down.

How come every time I see a shrimp boat, all I can think of is Forrest Gump 🤔
Prayers for you 🙏🙏🙏🙏.
God bless you all.
People have lost everything like this and yet majority of articles about hurricane laura are about the statue that got toppled 🤦♀️
God bless y'all
God bless & prayers!
Honest shrimper making an honest living facing the risks and the possible consequences.
So sad- I love shrimp from the Gulf!
People trying to make a living....keep the faith and trust God.🙏👍
The editor made a typo for Homer LA. It's supposed to be Houma.
You are so right.

Yes we rebuild and move on with our daily lives. God is good and he will give us what we need. We can put our trust in him
I'm the guy in the blue shirt. This was definitely the worst storm I've rode through. Definitely do not want to do it again.
No buying it.
NOT BUYING IT.
@@dohnjoe733 whatever man 😂
The last guy talking is right when you gotta go you gotta go can't be rebuilding every time because it's home???
When a big hurricane is showing up, isn't it a good idea to get your boat and just go out to sea or something and just wait till the storm passes, then come back? I'm asking this question from a state of ignorance.
Go up the bayou's and get close to marshgrass
It's hard to outrun a storm, because you don't really know what's track is going to be. By the time you do it's often to late to out run it. larger ships almost always will take to the sea as you said, but with smaller craft it becomes quite dangerous to be at sea; with 100 + mph winds the seas will be huge and easily capable of overturning the vessel. The old Marina's rule is the 1-2-3, 24-48-72 hr rule. Basically, do to storm era forecasting, at 72hrs. prior to the storms arrival prediction you want to be a minimum of 300 miles away from the storm center, at 48 hr-200 mi and 24 hr-100 mi. Often for smaller craft hiding up a tributary often works quite well is very common. Of course it's all a crapshoot, sometimes it works and sometimes not.
I was the one in the blue shirt in this video.
Our plans at first were to go west for safe harboring. The storm unexpectedly changed it's route. At that time we were already at this dock and had no other options. It was bizarre, one of the craziest experiences I've had.
@@ibooogeymani9380 I knew a shrimper who lost his boat to Hurricane Hugo near Charleston SC riding it out. Something holed his hull, but the pumps were keeping up- just barely. When the Coasties arrived they said "get aboard now or you're on your own for at least a few days, we ain't coming back" so he had to go. And as you know they don't insure wooden hulls....
Bubba Gump shrimp is what they got.
Sad video about the hurricane
Good
good luck in future.
Some people doing all they can so they can work for a living. Some people do all they can to loot, burn and steal what working people have built.
So sorry for all the damage from Laura - heartbreaking ... but those boats move .... so why don't all the boaters just boat away to a safer place until after the storm .... like 50 km either way and everyone is safe ... why risk damage and death when you just take your boat up the coast away until the storm passes ...
Probably a dumb question but why don't they pilot the boats down the coast line or up the Mississippi river? would it cost to much in fuel or take to long?
Originally hurricane Laura was heading east. So we planned to go to west for safe harboring. By the time we got here, the storm changed it's route. At that point it's too late to change our plans. That's why we had to ride it through.
(I'm the guy in the blue shirt and IT hat btw)
@@ibooogeymani9380 I'm sorry for loss and thank you for answering my question.
Breaks my heart if I was rich I would do everything I could to take care of y'all and anybody wouldn't money watching this cookies people up
Don't give to your candidate give to the people
Where's Forrest?
Why they keep insurance on things
It didn’t look that bad there.
why the guy at 50 seconds talking like a gangster and the grill oh my
That's just the way he talks. I work with him, great guy and great worker.
Because south Louisiana is a melting pot of black, white, Native American--that means Cajun and Creole and American Indian and sometimes even Spanish (Canary Islands), all mixed up together and shaken since the early to mid 1700s. People unfamiliar with the range of southern Louisiana accents may think white folks sound black or vice versa when really they all sound like the communities of wherever it is they're from.

Why not move the boats to someplace where the hurricane won't hit? I've never understood why they don't move boats, cars, RV trailers or anything that can be moved. Seems dumb to me. Just stand there and wait for the storm to destroy your equip.

Ok I know I'm not American but what language were they speaking and as they were boats why didn't they take them away East or West? Whenever we have a cyclone here people move their boats.
I big you all please help me i am a small farmer only
Take your boats away to other coast before the hurricane hits,I've seen it done,is that simple.🙏🙏
Well ill be goddamned,...we found the real life forest gump! I fkn knew he was real guy..😂

All except one right #bubbagump
Seriously this is very hard news to gear not making fun of anyone just trying to keep light in the support of these hard workers that lost their most important work tool
HAHAHAHAHAHHAHA
Bubba-Gump Shrimpn' Boat Company is not amused.
Pat Robertson quote on natural disasters: "If enough people were praying, (God) would've intervened. You could pray. Jesus stilled the storm. You can still storms." So it was the fault of people not praying enough. Evacuations, shelters, FEMA not needed if people just pray.
Stupidest thing I read today!
Hate to break it to you but nature doesn't care about your feelings.
