"They say I'm not longer disabled, I don't know what that means"(shows his amputated leg).... that was hilarious dude!!! This guy owns it!!! Respect for this guy!!!
If he slept through that last storm, possibly addicted to something that prevents him achieving what social security expect of him, like attending appointments etc…
@@krist6074 that's how it goes in America! "We can't give this homeless guy with half a limb disability anymore, sorry." *sends another billion dollars abroad* It's so sad! Never any money left to help vulnerable people jn need while he's facing a freaking hurricane! 😞 I wonder what qipl it be this time- $750? Maybe they'll be generous and give $800 for those affected by Milton.
@@xeronicus You mean "fox entertainment news"? Yeah, its garbage. Any way, now that my taxes will (yet again) go towards the yearly buying people new homes because they bought homes in "hurricane alley" and are surprised that a hurricane came, I feel that its a good time to remind people that Floriduh is a welfare state that needs handouts every year. Fuck Floriduh.
I was telling my brother that earlier. I was like, dude, they always want us to come together during a disaster. Why not come together before the disaster? 😮
We suppress our true nature in order to do what we need to in order to survive. That is, be hateful, bigoted, and intolerant of others in a desperate ploy to protect what we see as "ours". In moments of disaster, all the petty grievances of the world melt away, and we start seeing each other as fellow humans again instead of threats.
@StoutShako I saw the same thing in the Marine Corps. We were yelled at, messed with, field ops, clean the barracks, yelled at, formation, lectured, then given an M16 and we went to Afghanistan. We were able to do our job in War. The command wasn't terrorizing us because we all had a .556 rounds in the chamber. Speed up through Afghanistan and we come home turn weapon into the Armory then all of a sudden the games eventually begin again. In regular society it has become absolutely so selfish. Buy a nice house, buy a nice car, lavish vacations post on social media then natural disaster happens now we are all supposed to come together???????? Makes no sense
God bless you all from England. That disabled guy....i so see his point of view that wee boat is his life. Hope he survives intact. For those who made spiteful comments. Shame on you.
I live in tornado alley. Don't bother with the house. Take pictures of everything you have and leave. Nothing can survive wind and rain, much less water. Water is the most powerful force on Earth. It can't be stopped. People really need to get out
It’s a peninsula. There’s only one way out and 2 highway and it’s a very long state. That’s why there’s a traffic jam. The hurricane is going to cover the entire state and you don’t want to get stuck in a metal coffin on the highway when it hits. Plus, remember Georgia and the Carolina’s already got hit hard 6 days ago and already got to be filled up with refugees from Helene. And if you go to west coast you get flooding from the back end of the storm when the waters recede. Safest place is a solid concrete building on the inland on high ground
Water is extremely destructive and powerful. It sweeps everything away in its path. I'm praying for the safety of Floridians. I'm heartbroken for everyone affected by Helene and this developing Monster Hurricane Milton.
@@BewefauAnd today's generation of tiktok fanatics do? Please. We had only just got the internet & mobile phones back then. We still read paper books.🙄
Jonathan, I'd like to both thank and congratulate you on your excellent reporting on Helene, and on the preps for Milton. Very well done! Prayers for you, your wife, and for ALL in Milton's path - including all of the animals. May you all stay SAFE and WELL... 🙏, ❤.
He's not disabled any more, that's great to hear! He can surely expect his new leg any day now, hopefully it arrives before Milton. On a serious note, our hearts go out to all of you in the path. Make wise decisions and godspeed.
This reminds be of that Zulu War skit of Monty Python. Legless Man: "So it will just grow back then, will it?" Doctor: "When playing football just try to... favour the other leg." I wish he would leave but I totally get why he doesn't want to leave his home. Good on the community for doing what they can.

@@DignifiedDestitutionyou have no idea what you’re talking about, you’re just talking out your ass, that’s the internet for you. There’s zero evidence suggesting anything you just said. For all we know he has money and didn’t need the 7k. Clown
"No longer disabled" - with half a leg missing?? Has Social Security though it managed to magically re-grow??? Perhaps some of the $300MILLION a day spent on "Project Ukraine" could be used to support those in your OWN Country? Or in todays crony capitalist world, is that far too much to expect.
This gentleman has more faith than most people, his boat is his home; He’s lived through this before and he’s at peace on his boat. I speak blessings over him during this hurricane..
I'm with him about sleeping through the storms. Once you've made your preparations, what else can you do? I'm a native Floridian, living along Phillippi Creek, on property my Grandaddy homesteaded in the 1930's. I was eight years old when Donna flooded the neighborhood. I will not evacuate. My home is high enough to avoid flooding (even from Helene's surge), so my threat is only from high winds never seen before, excuse me, Mr. Desantis, but from Climate Change. . Prepare in well advance, secure food and necessities, expect the worst and hope for the best. Those who evacuate will have their own problems, securing gas, finding lodging, avoiding accidents, etc. I'll take my chances, thank you.
Young and un-aware for the danger to came. Millennial's: "waiting in line to get those sandbags to protect my home. i been here half a day and i got 4 sandbags for now" (smiling and happy) ...amazing job my friend, just a waste of time...
It’s amazing to me he reported so calmly and professionally on the situation. Then at the end you realize that his house and family are in the line of the storm too. Respect man I hope your family and home are safe. This is real journalism
@@zoeyrochellezhombie829because other reporters who are " in the path" create increase in anxiety for many, a calm clear voice that shows what's happening and give pertinent information
I get this poor man wanting to save his boat, which is the very little he has. That said, he isn't going to swim out of this one and he can't save the boat by being there. I'm just lost as to what he thinks he can do. But I sure hope he doesn't have to find out because it's clear he's had a rough go of it. Godspeed man. We're thinking of you.
He probably doesn't have a wife or kids to look after and really has nothing to loose. Even if he has some kids they might be all grown up and he thinks he's too old and maybe it's his destiny to either survive the hurricane or die in it. He looks like in his 60's so although young to some, at that age there's really no new tricks you can teach an old dog. 😂😂😂😂
This is the third video I’ve watched of yours and I love that you don’t dramatise anything, you just tell the story. Please PLEASE don’t do anything that would put your life at risk just for the sake of putting a video on the internet. Be safe out there!
🏸 THE GOSPEL OF THE WORD OF ALMIGHTY GOD "the last age brought by Christ to purify man with His Word" Almighty God said I have once been recognized as Jehovah. I have also been called the MESSIAH, and once people CALLED ME JESUS SAVIOR because they loved and respected Me. But now I am NOT the JEHOVAH or JESUS that man knew in the past---I am the GOD who RETURNS in the LAST DAYS, the God who WILL BRING the age to an END. I AM GOD HIMSELF ARISING FROM THE ENDS OF THE WORLD, full of My WHOLE DISPOSITION, and full of AWYORITY, HONOR and GLORY. 🙏 People have never partaken of Me, never known Me, and always no--know of My disposition. From the creation of the world until now, NO ONE HAS SEEN Me. This is the God who appears to man in the last days but is hidden from men. He LIVES WITH MAN, REAL and TRUE, like a burning sun and a burning fire, full of power and overflowing with AUTHORITY. There is no person or thing that cannot be judged by My Words, and there is not a person or thing that will not be purified by the burning fire. In the end, all nations will be blessed because of My words, and will also be broken to pieces--"pieces because of My WORDS. 🔴 In this way, all people during the last days will SEE that I am the SAVIOR who RETURNS, I am the MIGHTY GOD who conquers all mankind, and for man I am the SIN OFFERING, But to those LAST DAY I too will become flamesof the sun that will burn up everything, so is the Day of RIGHTEOUSNESS that will REVEAL everything. Such is My WORK in the last days. I took this NAME and OWN this DISPOSITION so that all people may SEE that I am a RIGHTEOUS God, and I am a blazing sun, and a burning fire.🙏 This is so that all may worship Me, the ONLY TRUE GOD, and thus SEE My TRUE FACE: I am not only the God of the Israelites, nor am I merely the Redeemer---I am GOD of all CREATIONS throughout the HEAVEN and EARTH and OCEAN. 🙏 From The WORD, Vol. 1. The Appearance and Work. The Savior Has Returned On A ... Fulfillment of (John 1:1) and (Ezekiel 2:9-10), (Revelation 18:9,13) The Savior has returned and He or Christ has fulfilled His building of the kingdom/church on top of the rock or standing in the worthy holy place in the air/UA-cam! When He came He fulfilled what was prophesied in the book of Revelation and from there it is recorded that He changed a new name and the name of His city from ("THE CHURCH OF ALMIGHTY GOD" 💐) "The Epistle to the church of Philadelphia" "The one who overcomes will be I will make a pillar totemple of my God, and he shall not be removed from it forever. I will engrave on him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem that will come down out of heaven from my God. I will also engrave him with my new name. (Revelation 3:12). ... "The Reign of the Prince of Peace" "For a baby boy is born and he will rule over us. He is the wonderful counselor, the Almighty God, the eternal Father, the Prince of peace."

I live in Mexico on the pacific coast and last October we were hit by "Otis" level 5 hurricane and almost nothing was left standing,. The day after we had no phone , no water , no food , no electricity, no internet everything was gone. Some hotels today are still under repairs others won´t reopen. God bless you all
And I think 100% they are controlling the weather,no climate change BS, from a tropical storm to a category 5 in 24 hrs, yes, they can do it, and they will keep doing it, no science fiction,it is the reality, but many won't believe it.
That older guy packing sand bags in his sedan... Breaks my heart when he said " another hurricane, and my family... " He feels responsible for their safety. Oh Lord how scared he feels! God bless him and keep him and his family safe and everyone affected.
We lived in Pinellas County, FL 1985-2023. Got tired of the near constant heat and humidity and storms. We moved to the mid-west. Praying those who want to get out can and those who must stay are watched over by God.
I looked up hotel rooms yesterday out of curiosity, zero in the entire city of Tallahassee but the good news was there were rooms available in Huntsville, AL. Unfortunately, they were starting at almost a grand a night. How is that not considered price gauging? What has happened to us and to our country that the only thing we care about anymore is money and doing anything we can to make more of it. It breaks my heart.
Did the man in the boat remind anyone else of Lieutenant Dan?Just with the boat the attitude & injury. I can't understand how it's no longer a disability? Great job by those guys for GFM & their efforts to try to get him to go somewhere safer..that' was super impressive. Prayers for him & for all in the path ! 🙏 ❤
It's because the office probably had a quota of people they had to kick off disability and chose based on oldest disability claims first irregardless of qualification.
This is the best reporting I have seen. The guy with the truck and the gas that was going to leave at 0230 is smart! Can’t believe the sand people need ! Praying for everyone!
When I lived in Florida, the moment a storm formed near Trinidad,Tobago, I started getting ready with supplies, food, cars full every other day, planned for evacuate way ahead of the rush, never stayed behind. If I lost three or four days of work, so be it. I had emergency funds just for the occasion. When you wait for the mandate to evacuate, it’s too late to start preparing. Material stuff can go away, though I’m not losing my life over any of it. God help them.
@@AG-iu9lv When the Governor issues a Mandatory Evacuation, you go. No one is going to stay except for emergency personnel and hospital staffing, and those who just have no common sense. There isn't going to be any work.
Your home is beautiful. Lost my house in Sandy . My elderly neighbors stayed and lost their lives. My m so glad the police came to our house and warned us that if we stayed they would not be able to get to us . Our house was destroyed. About the sand … the elderly neighbors had survived through many hurricanes and permanently had sand bags all around their foundation…. It just lulled them into thinking they was enough. Sandy came and it wasn’t enough.
For 6 years now my husband and I have our go bags. Every year we check them to update and remove expired items. Man-made or natural disasters can just happen anytime and anywhere. And they’re becoming more and more these days.
So go bags do not cover all disasters the wildfire GO bags completely different than the flood disaster go bag as I found out on accident when I move from one state to another and realize might go back was not going to help me if I didn't change the stuff that was in it
I want to send you a message of support from Wee Waa NSW, Australia, but all the usual expressions seem overwhelmingly in appropriate or massively understated. We will watch and hope you can ride out the hurricane. Not enough, I know, but you and all your neighbours are in my thoughts. I visited there in 1988, and loved being in the Tampa Bay area and loved it. So you all have a special place in my heart.
I was praying about staying or going, and I knew that if I was going to go I needed to get my family on the road immediately. I’m glad I got out today. We just made it ATL safely. A lot of other Floridians here as well
I have heard that a few hotels are charging six hundred dollars per night; this is price gouging and it’s not the right thing to do during a hurricane.
If they have enough time, people need to go either North or West, to North Georgia, Alabama, Pensacola, or even Tennessee around Chattanooga or Nashville.
Of course they also need to pay their employees more because of the emergency and there is a higher cost to insure if they are going to be open during a hurricane. It isn't like their costs during a hurricane are the same as normal operation.
It's not price gouging, it's supply and demand. There's huge demand and little supply (hotel rooms aren't exactly a flexible resource), so of course the prices go up.
@@AikaCraftyCat I wouldn’t pay that much for a one night stay in a hotel just because of the major evacuation; I would keep on driving to a safer location and avoid any hotels that will charge $600 per night and sleep inside my vehicle or find an emergency shelter like a YMCA or a public transportation facility or a public library.
@@AikaCraftyCat $600 a night is excessive for most people; they can keep on trekking for a few hundred miles and stay in an emergency shelter until the storm passes through their homes and return safely home to access the damage to their houses. They will be spend much more than $600 on their damaged houses!
EDIT: I meant to say Ian, which was way worse than Irma. Irma was the last hurricane I prepared for before selling and moving. It is so exhausting to prepare, especially working at the same time. It's super stressful too. I wish everyone the best.
I was actually wondering about that, it looks exhausting and frustrating, getting prepared for a hurricane! Too many other things in life to deal with, f*ck that! 😂
stay safe!! im in the tampa area too and im freaked out by this hurricane. luckily my house is all boarded up and we put as much sandbags as we had. we evacuated but I just hope my house is safe and yours is too
Okg! My heart is hurting knowing that they are about to go through another hurricane. I can not imagine 😢😢 I'm praying everyone will be safe and survive this. 🙏🏽😔❣️
@@SoundofSilence492I’d say I’m pretty sure that would be a difficult call. A new baby and a shelter. They’d need to keep the baby from being exposed to certain germs but I could be wrong
I can’t imagine how damaging these events are for the lowest in our society. They can lose everything with nothing to help them recover. Heart goes out to everyone affected. I pray our society gets better at looking out for those with the least. We all need to be more empathetic and give back into our communities to those who need it most. It’s the only way we get through these trying times ❤
I moved to Florida in 1966 as a teenager and thought I'd never leave. 54 years later I moved back north to deal with snow. I'm much more relaxed. I lived in Ft. Myers and worked for Lee county for 29 years in the facilities maintenance I was considered a first responder after a hurricane to inspect county buildings for safety.
We lived at Punta Gorda for 20 years until Hurricanes Charley, Francis, Ivan & Jean ? kicked our butts in 2004. Now in the Ozarks & love it. My sister is still at Inverness.
I really hope the guy in the boat will be OK. Hearing his story, it sounds like a tough predicament to navigate. I hope you and your family and friends stay safe as well 🙏
“Items and things aren’t important, people are.” Well said! We wish you guys the best in these hard times! God is with you guys, prayers from California
I will be glued to UA-cam looking for your updates. I have visited the Tampa area a lot, and this pains me to see what is coming. Also, somebody please get that man in the sailboat off the water! This is going to be unsurvivable! He has no chance. Stellar reporting Johnathan!
@@OnAChairSitting I didn't know an invisible thing could do anything. lmao Now THAT'S a miracle! I mean, even invisible means he exists. You just can't SEE him. lol
Faith is the opposite of fear. The man on the boat has nothing left to lose except his boat and knows that if it is his time to go it is his time to go. Freedom 's just another word for nothing left to lose, a line from a song which rings so true in times like this. Weather events like Milton show us how mighty nature is and how puny man is but they also teach us that what is important is people in our lives. Those material things can be replaced but people can't be. Be safe and listen to the advisories if you can. Thinking of you all and hoping you come through this unscathed.
I fear those bridges will not be there to get back home on, but....that's ok. Just get out! Look for folks that may need help. Don't forget. You may have room in the car, truck, rig, and they may have in their go bags what you may need. Pray for wise choices and calm. Much love.
The disabled man on the boat reminds me so much of Harry R. Truman, the old man who owned a lodge near Mount St. Helen and refused to leave his home even though volcano scientists were saying that St. Helen’s eruption was imminent and would wreak destruction for miles. Mr. Truman was a real character, like this man is, he was interviewed by many news media and he told all of them he wasn’t leaving the mountain no matter what. Well, Mr. Truman got his wish and perished in his home when St. Helen’s erupted. I pray this man does not suffer a similar fate. 🙏 Praying for everybody affected by the hurricanes.
I don't think he realizes that this is supposed to be the worse storm since 1921. This will be a catastrophic event. I hope they do a follow up story for this poor fella.
Where do that number of people evacuate to? Its unfathomable and heartbreaking, especially seeing most have damaged homes already. 😢 Old mate on his boat, I hope you survive! Your outlook on life is amazing and I wish you well.
Thank you for this coverage. Hope you and others down there are safe. We sold our house in 2016 and left St. Petersburg for NY. My heart breaks for my former neighbors, who fared fairly well during Helen, but Milton looks terrifying. Stay safe and evacuate!
In 2005 I was coming back from Iraq, my wife and kids evaced for Dennis I landed in Orlando couldnt rent a car because of the storm grabbed my ruck and started humping east. Zero traffic going to coast on the beeline. Im walking east I see a Florida State Trooper cut across the median. He said what are you doing told him the wife evaced I couldnt get a car I was going to my home in Sat Beach. He gave me a ride all the way to Patrick AFB, Thanks again Marine! I grabbed my Landcruiser parked at hanger 800, Drove home, boarded up the windows, sandbagged the doors, got 3 dive tanks threw them in my pool grabbed a wetsuit weight belt and rode it out underwater in my pool. We lost the garage, the back patio deck , My MIL house had Damage and our rental across the street lost the roof. Got out checked to see if anyone was in my neighbor hood needed help, then me and my buddy BoBo went and surfed all day when the wind switched offshore. Best time ever. No power for about a week didnt bother me, the wife stayed in tally for 8 days. But I get it this is different.
I moved away from hurricanes 31 years ago. Where I grew up was devastated by Helene. I only have to deal with blizzards, tornados, hail, wind, flashfloods, and avalanches.
US weather is amazing isnt it.. hardly anything of that here in europe, its the most boring weather ever, some occasional wildfires or flashfloods and thats it
Thinking of you all. My family live in Lakeland and are in the direct hit path. They’ve gone up to Massachusetts to stay with more family. They live in a mobile home community so I’m praying their homes are there when they get back. Love, light and prayers for you all. 🙏🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻✨

No there is not enough sand! If you cant afford to loose everything them MOVE IDIOTS! I was forced to bc of the government housing raising the cost of living. 10 years of college 2 degrees and homless. I have no sympathy for TAMPA! Single men cant survive in Tampa!
@@alwaysbased1212 God is real. It's not Him but demons that are causing havoc. These times of trial are a testing of faith that many have failed and many will overcome. 🙏
Milton is an ominous name for a hurricane. Paradise Lost. My grandparents owned and managed the Skyline Motel and Apartments back in the 1960's in Madeira Beach. It's been changed and enlarged, but it's still there today, Oct. 8th, 2024. It was a paradise to me as a child. What a beautiful wife you have, your treasure is where your heart is. God bless all.
I wonder if he actually has enough gasoline to do that. That little engine would probably make that boat go 3 to 5 knots. How fast depends on the hulls conditions. If fouled for years you need more power for a given speed..

This coverage is better than what most news outlets have
The news doesn't want to show people working together. They only want to show the devastation afterwards and the government (authoritarian) response.

Facts I was saying the same thing.
*from a bro who doesn't watch news

Yes, I find that JP knows his hurricanes and also brings you the human side of the story.
God bless you all from England. That disabled guy....i so see his point of view that wee boat is his life. Hope he survives intact. For those who made spiteful comments. Shame on you.
I live in tornado alley. Don't bother with the house. Take pictures of everything you have and leave. Nothing can survive wind and rain, much less water. Water is the most powerful force on Earth. It can't be stopped. People really need to get out
It’s a peninsula. There’s only one way out and 2 highway and it’s a very long state. That’s why there’s a traffic jam. The hurricane is going to cover the entire state and you don’t want to get stuck in a metal coffin on the highway when it hits. Plus, remember Georgia and the Carolina’s already got hit hard 6 days ago and already got to be filled up with refugees from Helene. And if you go to west coast you get flooding from the back end of the storm when the waters recede. Safest place is a solid concrete building on the inland on high ground
Gravity is stronger than water.
oh please the gravity bomb in area 51 is the most powerful force
Water is extremely destructive and powerful. It sweeps everything away in its path. I'm praying for the safety of Floridians. I'm heartbroken for everyone affected by Helene and this developing Monster Hurricane Milton.

Yep, that's our government. Just plain trolling citizens at this point. But they make sure they get THEIR paychecks.
This reminds be of that Zulu War skit of Monty Python.

I wish he would leave but I totally get why he doesn't want to leave his home. Good on the community for doing what they can.

I'm with him about sleeping through the storms. Once you've made your preparations, what else can you do? I'm a native Floridian, living along Phillippi Creek, on property my Grandaddy homesteaded in the 1930's. I was eight years old when Donna flooded the neighborhood. I will not evacuate. My home is high enough to avoid flooding (even from Helene's surge), so my threat is only from high winds never seen before, excuse me, Mr. Desantis, but from Climate Change. . Prepare in well advance, secure food and necessities, expect the worst and hope for the best. Those who evacuate will have their own problems, securing gas, finding lodging, avoiding accidents, etc. I'll take my chances, thank you.

I get this poor man wanting to save his boat, which is the very little he has. That said, he isn't going to swim out of this one and he can't save the boat by being there. I'm just lost as to what he thinks he can do. But I sure hope he doesn't have to find out because it's clear he's had a rough go of it. Godspeed man. We're thinking of you.
He probably doesn't have a wife or kids to look after and really has nothing to loose. Even if he has some kids they might be all grown up and he thinks he's too old and maybe it's his destiny to either survive the hurricane or die in it. He looks like in his 60's so although young to some, at that age there's really no new tricks you can teach an old dog. 😂😂😂😂

🏸 THE GOSPEL OF THE WORD OF ALMIGHTY GOD "the last age brought by Christ to purify man with His Word"
Almighty God said
I have once been recognized as Jehovah. I have also been called the MESSIAH, and once people CALLED ME JESUS SAVIOR because they loved and respected Me. But now I am NOT the JEHOVAH or JESUS that man knew in the past---I am the GOD who RETURNS in the LAST DAYS, the God who WILL BRING the age to an END. I AM GOD HIMSELF ARISING FROM THE ENDS OF THE WORLD, full of My WHOLE DISPOSITION, and full of AWYORITY, HONOR and GLORY. 🙏
People have never partaken of Me, never known Me, and always no--know of My disposition. From the creation of the world until now, NO ONE HAS SEEN Me. This is the God who appears to man in the last days but is hidden from men. He LIVES WITH MAN, REAL and TRUE, like a burning sun and a burning fire, full of power and overflowing with AUTHORITY. There is no person or thing that cannot be judged by My Words, and there is not a person or thing that will not be purified by the burning fire. In the end, all nations will be blessed because of My words, and will also be broken to pieces--"pieces because of My WORDS. 🔴
In this way, all people during the last days will SEE that I am the SAVIOR who RETURNS, I am the MIGHTY GOD who conquers all mankind, and for man I am the SIN OFFERING, But to those LAST DAY I too will become flamesof the sun that will burn up everything, so is the Day of RIGHTEOUSNESS that will REVEAL everything. Such is My WORK in the last days. I took this NAME and OWN this DISPOSITION so that all people may SEE that I am a RIGHTEOUS God, and I am a blazing sun, and a burning fire.🙏
This is so that all may worship Me, the ONLY TRUE GOD, and thus SEE My TRUE FACE: I am not only the God of the Israelites, nor am I merely the Redeemer---I am GOD of all CREATIONS throughout the HEAVEN and EARTH and OCEAN. 🙏
From The WORD, Vol. 1. The Appearance and Work. The Savior Has Returned On A ...
Fulfillment of (John 1:1) and (Ezekiel 2:9-10), (Revelation 18:9,13)
The Savior has returned and He or Christ has fulfilled His building of the kingdom/church on top of the rock or standing in the worthy holy place in the air/UA-cam! When He came He fulfilled what was prophesied in the book of Revelation and from there it is recorded that He changed a new name and the name of His city from ("THE CHURCH OF ALMIGHTY GOD" 💐) "The Epistle to the church of Philadelphia" "The one who overcomes will be I will make a pillar totemple of my God, and he shall not be removed from it forever. I will engrave on him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem that will come down out of heaven from my God. I will also engrave him with my new name. (Revelation 3:12). ... "The Reign of the Prince of Peace" "For a baby boy is born and he will rule over us. He is the wonderful counselor, the Almighty God, the eternal Father, the Prince of peace." (Isaiah 9:6). ... "For the Lamb in the midst of the throne will be their SHEPHERD. He will lead them to springs of life-giving water; and God will wipe away the tears from their eyes." (Revelation 7:17).
"They said together, "Salvation comes from the Lamb, and from our God who sits on the throne!" (Revelation 7:10). ... So God's sheep and the right people He created have come to His holy city the New Jerusalem that will only last on earth for 1,000 years "THE CHURCH OF ALMIGHTY GOD"💐

I looked up hotel rooms yesterday out of curiosity, zero in the entire city of Tallahassee but the good news was there were rooms available in Huntsville, AL. Unfortunately, they were starting at almost a grand a night. How is that not considered price gauging?

Great job by those guys for GFM & their efforts to try to get him to go somewhere safer..that' was super impressive. Prayers for him & for all in the path ! 🙏 ❤
did he get promoted?
No Medicaid No housing? How can a State disown him like that?
It's because the office probably had a quota of people they had to kick off disability and chose based on oldest disability claims first irregardless of qualification.
Well I guess he won't be voting for "so generous kamala" 🙄
That is so disgraceful, the way he's been treated by the current govt
I though it was Lieutenant Dan, also he was First Mate 😛 Not sure if we are talking about the same Dan but I see all the other traits.
This is the best reporting I have seen. The guy with the truck and the gas that was going to leave at 0230 is smart! Can’t believe the sand people need ! Praying for everyone!
When I lived in Florida, the moment a storm formed near Trinidad,Tobago, I started getting ready with supplies, food, cars full every other day, planned for evacuate way ahead of the rush, never stayed behind. If I lost three or four days of work, so be it. I had emergency funds just for the occasion. When you wait for the mandate to evacuate, it’s too late to start preparing. Material stuff can go away, though I’m not losing my life over any of it. God help them.
I live in Trinidad. The weather is so strange. Hot sun one minute, next thing you know dark skies and bad bad weather
The way the economy is, most ppl can't get a slush fund together or miss 4 days of work. You can, I can, but we're very privileged.

I have heard that a few hotels are charging six hundred dollars per night; this is price gouging and it’s not the right thing to do during a hurricane.
If they have enough time, people need to go either North or West, to North Georgia, Alabama, Pensacola, or even Tennessee around Chattanooga or Nashville.
Of course they also need to pay their employees more because of the emergency and there is a higher cost to insure if they are going to be open during a hurricane. It isn't like their costs during a hurricane are the same as normal operation.
It's not price gouging, it's supply and demand. There's huge demand and little supply (hotel rooms aren't exactly a flexible resource), so of course the prices go up.
@@AikaCraftyCat I wouldn’t pay that much for a one night stay in a hotel just because of the major evacuation; I would keep on driving to a safer location and avoid any hotels that will charge $600 per night and sleep inside my vehicle or find an emergency shelter like a YMCA or a public transportation facility or a public library.
@@AikaCraftyCat $600 a night is excessive for most people; they can keep on trekking for a few hundred miles and stay in an emergency shelter until the storm passes through their homes and return safely home to access the damage to their houses.
They will be spend much more than $600 on their damaged houses!
Keep strong my friend and stay safe! Thanks for sharing this story and we are praying for you all.
EDIT: I meant to say Ian, which was way worse than Irma.
Irma was the last hurricane I prepared for before selling and moving. It is so exhausting to prepare, especially working at the same time. It's super stressful too. I wish everyone the best.
You are 100 percent right
I was actually wondering about that, it looks exhausting and frustrating, getting prepared for a hurricane! Too many other things in life to deal with, f*ck that! 😂
well said, I don't understand why people want to do all this over and over again.
As a Californian I could not live in hurricane or twister country it sounds like a nightmare
It must be crazy in Florida trying to get flood insurance. Insurance companies don't like the odds of knowing eventually they have to pay out.

It’s the only way we get through these trying times ❤

Faith is the opposite of fear. The man on the boat has nothing left to lose except his boat and knows that if it is his time to go it is his time to go. Freedom 's just another word for nothing left to lose, a line from a song which rings so true in times like this. Weather events like Milton show us how mighty nature is and how puny man is but they also teach us that what is important is people in our lives. Those material things can be replaced but people can't be. Be safe and listen to the advisories if you can. Thinking of you all and hoping you come through this unscathed.
Freedom does not mean nothing left to lose. What a stupid comment

The disabled man on the boat reminds me so much of Harry R. Truman, the old man who owned a lodge near Mount St. Helen and refused to leave his home even though volcano scientists were saying that St. Helen’s eruption was imminent and would wreak destruction for miles. Mr. Truman was a real character, like this man is, he was interviewed by many news media and he told all of them he wasn’t leaving the mountain no matter what. Well, Mr. Truman got his wish and perished in his home when St. Helen’s erupted. I pray this man does not suffer a similar fate. 🙏 Praying for everybody affected by the hurricanes.

In 2005 I was coming back from Iraq, my wife and kids evaced for Dennis I landed in Orlando couldnt rent a car because of the storm grabbed my ruck and started humping east. Zero traffic going to coast on the beeline. Im walking east I see a Florida State Trooper cut across the median. He said what are you doing told him the wife evaced I couldnt get a car I was going to my home in Sat Beach. He gave me a ride all the way to Patrick AFB, Thanks again Marine! I grabbed my Landcruiser parked at hanger 800, Drove home, boarded up the windows, sandbagged the doors, got 3 dive tanks threw them in my pool grabbed a wetsuit weight belt and rode it out underwater in my pool. We lost the garage, the back patio deck , My MIL house had Damage and our rental across the street lost the roof. Got out checked to see if anyone was in my neighbor hood needed help, then me and my buddy BoBo went and surfed all day when the wind switched offshore. Best time ever. No power for about a week didnt bother me, the wife stayed in tally for 8 days. But I get it this is different.

Yeah Biden and Harris are making sure everybody is prepared and ready... while sending Lebanon 150+ million in funds today 😂😂😂

The guy refusing to leave his boat is the definition of Florida man.
May God protect every living being during these hard times ❤🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻

Funny, it's always blamed on global warming.
Also, if He doesn't exist, how do you know what He would do?
@@alwaysbased1212 LOL Well, since you don't believe in God, how do you know what he would or wouldn't do? 😉

God is real. It's not Him but demons that are causing havoc. These times of trial are a testing of faith that many have failed and many will overcome. 🙏
In Jesus’ name AMEN
Milton is an ominous name for a hurricane. Paradise Lost. My grandparents owned and managed the Skyline Motel and Apartments back in the 1960's in Madeira Beach. It's been changed and enlarged, but it's still there today, Oct. 8th, 2024. It was a paradise to me as a child.
What a beautiful wife you have, your treasure is where your heart is. God bless all.
Loads better than one named Chester😳😳😂
Nah. Every time I hear Milton I think of The Simpsons.

Boat guy could make it to Naples or Key West with that 8hp engine. Sitting and waiting for days for the worst part of a category 5 hurricane is crazy.
That's what I was thinking.
Use some of that Gofundme money for a used motor and head south for a few days.
I wonder if he actually has enough gasoline to do that. That little engine would probably make that boat go 3 to 5 knots. How fast depends on the hulls conditions. If fouled for years you need more power for a given speed..
@@alaska-bornfloridaman I would head north not south its probably going to change direction south
stay safe and thank you for your updates, folks in Minnesota are wishing you the best
