This was recorded the night Milton went through Florida. I can say this was the worst storm I’ve ever experienced. The winds were scary here. Praying for the coast and those who have been affected ❤
Kyle saying that was the worst night of his life reminds me of Andy from the office "This is the hardest thing I've ever had to do in my entire life. I haven't had a very hard life.”
You never want to make a claim on your insurance or make any contact with your insurance about home damage unless the damages significantly exceed your deductible. Why? Because any claim will raise your future rates and any suggestion of damage makes you high risk in the insurance company's eyes. Particularly in Florida!
As a former insurance agent, 100% agree. In Florida your hurricane deductible is probably 2% of your dwelling (that's how most agents write policies unfortunately) so keep that in mind.
As someone who has lived in the South East his whole life and owned a home for over 12 years, here are some things you need to consider buying: Weather Radio with hand crank Flashlights (both battery, and hand crank) Extra batteries Wet/Dry ShopVac (not only good for cleaning up the garage, but can suck up water) Rechargeable Battery Banks (for extra charging for your phones) Canned Food If you have a grill - make sure you have propane so you can have a hot meal $100-200 in CASH. If power is out in the area, registers won't work for credit cards TARPS - big ones, small ones Rope Bottled Water Some of this stuff you should buy at the beginning of every Hurricane season. You should also fill up your gas tanks in your cars when the hurricane is announced to hit your area, don't wait until a day or two before it hits.
LA resident here who has been through many many hurricanes as well. A new/modern tip: Purchase an Anker Powerstation (and if you wanted splurge for an additional solar panel they sell for it.) *Even the cheap ones are useful, can charge your phones about 10 times. Also, to add: fill up ice chests with ice the day before if possible and keep them closed until absolutely needed. Even if they melt the cold water to use in the hot house with no power is very nice
You just need water. No water one flush then gone! One suggestion Kyle. To keep drain in tub from leaking use the tape over the drain before filling, not to mark tub after filling. More useful. Duct work ape best. Any home without duct tape isn’t properly equipped. Most useful stuff in the world. Along with WD-40 of course. 🙂
He really is dumb and naive! If there's a tornado, you go to an INTERIOR ROOM WITH NO WINDOWS, LIKE A BATHROOM IDOT! Where are your hurricane shutters Kyle? Having some and putting them up would have been smart! You waste SO much money on @ucking Disney, go buy a generator for your house!!!!
Tip from some one that has been thru many hurricans in south west Florida. If you guys are that worried about hurricans get a quote for hurrican shutters. You will protect your windows and your property and will add value to your house. Also never freeze tervis tumblers. It will ruin the cup itself. Glad you and casey made it out safe and no major damage. I live in port charlotte Florida 30 miles south of where milton made land fall. Thosands of people in my area have lost everything over the last 2 storms. Its devastating. But Florida will always prevail. Thanks for the daily blogs and keep being awesome
Why are we acting like this is the end of the world? The tactical music in the background? People in Tampa should be panicking. If I was Casey I would be panicked that I was in the home with someone who wouldn’t keep calm. -Sincerely a viewer from Texas who went through tornados/and a Hurricane this season.
Because he’s never been through something like that and why are you here if you want to be rude about someone’s else’s experience? I’m sure you couldn’t keep calm the first time it happened to you. Whether you’ve been through one or ten, it’s still scary and you still worry about your home. Grow up
To be fair, is his first major hurricane. He's from Wisconsin (which gets the worst winter weather and blizzards) so I guess we people of warmer weather can't handle half of the lower temperatures that he can, and we would overreact with a 50F°when you can see on his vlogs that 0° or bellow 0° is nothing to him😂 he goes out in shorts.
To be fair in the moment it's very scary for property owners and just because his street look fine doesn't mean it wasn't bad for the area. He got lucky. I'm like 10 minutes away from them and lost part of my fence and some shingles. My whole neighborhood is a mess from all the fallen branches and leaves. Even found a dead squirrel in my backyard and an injured squirrel in my front yard (took it to a rehab facility). My neighbor a few houses down had an oak tree split and fall on their house. One street over an even bigger tree fell on a fence and blocked the main road. The back side of the storm was no joke... just when we thought it wasn't so bad and the worst was over the winds came in hard a couple hours later which is not good after so much rain. So yeah, it's stressful worrying about your house and car all night. Also, why wouldn't he monetize a video he took time to make?
Toilets don’t stop working when the power goes out and water pressure is created by gravity. Water storage in the tub is a precautionary thing in the event that water pressure is disrupted by a water tower being damaged. Glad you guys are safe!
I was going to say the same thing, unless you are on a well system then you have a pump. Most cities do not have well and septic, those are usually in rural areas.
It all depends on what kind of water system you have or if it runs on a pump. I live in SWFL and when our power goes out the pumps in our water will stop working or run at a super low rate. It’s different state by state. I used to live in the Midwest and this wasn’t an issue.
As he filling up the tub with water, I was thinking this…I had heard several times that a bathtub is a place to shelter in in case of Tornados!!, covering yourselves with pillows and such. I don’t know…just what I’ve heard. Am I right on wrong? Anybody??🫤
Also next time get a few more of them! ....here in the UK with the recent heavy rain from storms ( the rementents of belive it or not the US huricanes the traveld across the Atlantic but reach here as storms!) our local authroties wont give out sand bags unless you live near a river and are in imment risk of flooding ....where i live we get garden flooding due to the ground the house is built on ( theres only a couple of feet of top soil then underneath it's all clay so dont absorb the rainfall ..ive live in my hous for 19 yrs and seen the front garden flood once ....in the past 2 weeks its flooded twice ( luckily not right up to the house) BUT they wont provide sand bags and tell you to go buy your own . even if the flooding is caused by flash floods! ..AT least over in the USA they do stuff free of charge for everyone before hand and give out sand bags/ fill your own ..in the uk they dont!
Maybe really clean out your under stairs closet in case of bad weather keep it stocked with supplies . We always filled our tubs and washers with a well and septic system so crazy the things we learn growing up and still do it ! Glad you guys did okay through it all 🥰 Now that's it over for You get some rest that's very stressful ! It's a life experience for sure I hate storms especially when theirs Tornado warnings . Thanks Kyle !!🥰
Definitely a scary experience here in Tampa area. We are 49 hours in without power. I’ve also had little to no cell service and this is the first time I’ve been able to watch UA-cam. Lots of fresh air and yard work/storm cleanup.
I keep saying that I want to move to Florida from New Hampshire to stay warm, but I would rather deal with a snow storm than stress out about hurricanes and tornados. I would not have been able to sleep either. I was worried for you all Wednesday night. Glad you are safe and praying for others on the coast. Nothing wrong with having extra water just in case. Loved Casey chopping the pillow during a hurricane 😂👍
Use a tarp that extends past the garage door and goes up the door - then place sand bags on the tarp. This will hold the tarp in place, and the tarp prevents seepage.
Please get a generator and a camping grill for the lanai. We've done that for every hurricane. If you space the sandbags a few inches apart you might have been able to stretch them and not much water would enter as water takes the path of least resistance. You left far too much area for the water the way you spaced the bags.
@@susanbarnett761Some stoves you can use kitchen matches to light the burners. Used to be able to light the gas ovens that way. No more. So another thing to get wooden kitchen matches. Safer than electronic or butane long or short lighters. Those long matches for candles work too.
agreed with what your saying and i know your offering great advice ....but it was Kyles 1st huricane as a home owner and didnt realy know what to do apart from sand bags etc so hes never had to go through it unlike many of nieoghbors possibly ...his knowlage on how to protect the property and himself is pretty sparse for a 1st time homeowner in florida s huricane season! ...GRANTED he should have looked things up beforhand as a newbie staying put in a hurricane BUT at least now hes learned a few things and will be better prepaired (sorry to say this but its true for the next one that comes along as they will do each season sadlly!) im just glad he got through it and he will learn from the experience and be better prepaired in future ....things are only going to get worse with (and i know some folks dont belive in this BUT) Climate change are making it worse ! even here in the UK where i live we have had flooding in areas that have never done that before with the heavy rain we have had belive it or NOT after a lot of the huricanes leave the floridas / usa shores they still have some power in them crosiing the atlantic and they reach the UK and Europe as storms still dumping record amounts of rain and gale force winds !
@@susanbarnett761 agreed but if your like us in the uk (as gas stoves have the same ..elecrtic ignitor (they eventialy end up not working) so in the uk we allway have a box or 2 of matches handy ! 😉😘
A future improvement would be to place underground drains to route the water from your side and back yard out to the street. Get your neighbors to do this as well. Builders should be required to do this when they build so close together. Also don't even call your insurance unless you really need to. Call your agent before you call insurance. I'm glad you made it through ok.
I have lived in Florida most of my life.Hurricanes are a fact of life in Florida. I am in my seventies and do not remember how many I have been through. The next one you go through will not be as scary.
Well, new developments use pumps to distribute the water, when the power is out those pumps won't work which means no water for your house, some pumps have gas generators but usually they just last a couple of hours.
I live in North Tampa and I agree with you about that night being the scariest night of my life. The sounds of the wind and the banging I heard on my roof all night was terrifying. Glad you guys stayed safe.
As previously stated, I do claims for Allstate. No one ever takes my advice, but here goes anyway. At some point you need to check your gutter straps and make sure they are still tight. If you heard banging all night from your gutters, there is a chance the straps may have loosened. Just double check to be sure.
Glad you and Casey were safe. A while back you showed I believe what was a home fragrance that you said smelled like the DCL WIsh. Where did you purchase that from? Is is available online?
Toilets are mechanical so all you'd need to do is fill the tank, no power needed. We would just bring water from the pool. Yes, Florida Girl slept through it. I do.
For your tub leaking the water out next time leave the drain open and place a cup upside down over it the pressure will keep it there and sealed pretty good depending on cup, hope this helps someone
It was the scariest storm ever. Here in Saint Petersburg we are still with out power and trees are down. But we’re safe. Let’s hope Milton the last storm for a long while. Prayers to all Floridians 🙏
we had the same issue with bathtub not holding water. Get a large rubbermaid tote (or 2) and put in tub. You can even put a lid on and still shower in front part of tub if your only shower.
About 3 Million People without Electricity in the State of Florida. There are People without running water. About 126 Tornadoes known of during HURRICANE Milton in the State of Florida. All the Coast of Florida that is South of Tampa Flooded.
You should store the sand bags in your garage, as long as they were not contaminated just in case we have another storm. We live in Sarasota, and went through the eye of the storm. Thankfully we are good. Go Pack Go!
PSA to everyone - if you ever make an insurance claim, NEVER NEVER NEVER use the word flood. Your claim will automatically be denied. Use something along the lines of "water damage due to destructive hurricane force winds". But never the word flood
Also don’t evacuate for a storm of this level next time. You don’t Wanna make it harder for people who actually are in life threatening Areas like the coast.
Did you consider boarding your windows? Seems like none of your immediate neighbors did that either but just curious since you were so worried about this storm and were doing a lot of research around preparations. Glad you guys and your house made it through in solid shape. Also, I hope you ignore some of the extra rude comments left on here.
Well, new developments use pumps to distribute the water, when the power is out those pumps won't work which means no water for your house, some pumps have gas generators but usually they just last a couple of hours.
@@dreww2286 so why you assure that "there's no way you think you need power to flush a toilet"? When entire communities and buildings need power for it?
Yes that is where you should go under the stairs. Please make more room in there so you will always have that space for hurricanes and or major thunderstorms that can have tornadoes. Also you do not want to be upstairs during a hurricane
Should fill pitchers of water in the frigid, for drinking, the melting ice is to see how frozen your food is, not how long power has been out. For next time.
If you are on city water and sewer you don’t have to worry about the toilets not working when power goes out. But if the lift stations quit working they won’t work either way. I would contact your water and sewer company to find out for sure what happens when the power goes out. 😊
For the future as somebody who lived through Andrew-don’t fill up your bathtub especially if you don’t have a second floor as that is one of the best places to be during a storm. The majority of people put themselves and covered themselves with a mattress and that is how they survived Andrew.
I am looking at those garlic bulbs spread around the gutter's downspout… and I'm wondering, do ya’ll get Vampires with those hurricanes down in Florida?
Roof gutters are meant to move water away from the basement, so water doesn’t make it’s way in. Florida homes generally don’t have basements, so no need for gutters.
Just for the future, your toilet isn't affected by power. It's a basic valve in the toilet - when you flush, it releases the water in the cistern and gravity pulls it down. If you lose water, the cistern won't automatically refill so you can use the water to manually flush instead. Just chuck a bucket full into the bowl. Still watching but very glad to see in the comments you both are safe and sound. Scary stuff!
Insurance won’t be worth a claim. Your deductible for hurricanes is different than normal house insurance. Either 2,5 or 10 percent of house value. My folks house is 600k ish in palm coast. They have a 2% policy so damage must be over $12,000 before insurance kicks in. Their premium is high for a 2% policy, most are 5% but that makes $30,000 out of pocket first.
I saw on your friend Adam was driving his gold cart around and so much of the community was out helping clear debris . It’s a god thing to do to contribute to your community. There is great need everywhere so it takes all able bodies to pitch in. Even if it’s delivery water to those that can rake and shovel. Don’t hurt your back worse.
I’m confused because it doesn’t really seem like you had a horrible experience? You had power and no structural issues, so where’s the horrible experience?
Water doesn’t turn into ice in Florida so wet ground around a foundation isn’t as big a deal as places where the ground can freeze. Plus no basement for water to leak in to. Plus plus the water table is very high in Florida, so foundations are almost always wet.
This was recorded the night Milton went through Florida. I can say this was the worst storm I’ve ever experienced. The winds were scary here. Praying for the coast and those who have been affected ❤
Hi kyle, glad your both ok. Thanks for documenting it for us. Stay safe.x
Glad you & Casey are safe !!
You are the BEST vlogger!👍🏻 So much variety and I LOVE it! So glad you are safe❤️
Hey Kyle so happy u and Casey are both safe during this difficult time so sad u both r going through this
Glad you're OK and the house is good. All of my relatives Inc my kids who live there are fine. ❤

Great advice, same with car insurance.
Also never use the word “flood”.
Say something like water intrusion from hurricane winds and rain
that’s why i keep a high deductible. might as well save some money if i’m not going to submit a $1000 claim with $500 deductible
As someone who has lived in the South East his whole life and owned a home for over 12 years, here are some things you need to consider buying:
Weather Radio with hand crank
Flashlights (both battery, and hand crank)
Extra batteries
Wet/Dry ShopVac (not only good for cleaning up the garage, but can suck up water)
Rechargeable Battery Banks (for extra charging for your phones)
Canned Food
If you have a grill - make sure you have propane so you can have a hot meal
$100-200 in CASH. If power is out in the area, registers won't work for credit cards
TARPS - big ones, small ones
Rope
Bottled Water
Some of this stuff you should buy at the beginning of every Hurricane season. You should also fill up your gas tanks in your cars when the hurricane is announced to hit your area, don't wait until a day or two before it hits.

Get used to this. Hurricanes are a fact of life where we both live, so, get ready for more.
FYI - you don’t need power to flush a toilet 🚽 😉
Right 😂😂😂
FYI-Some people actually do. When we lose power we lose water.
If you are on a well, you do need electricity to pump water into your house
You just need water. No water one flush then gone!
One suggestion Kyle. To keep drain in tub from leaking use the tape over the drain before filling, not to mark tub after filling. More useful. Duct work ape best. Any home without duct tape isn’t properly equipped. Most useful stuff in the world. Along with WD-40 of course. 🙂
Happy you both are safe. Casey chopped the hell out of that pillow.....😂😂😂😂
Oh, Kyle. Comedy gold. If you had moved those sandbags one more time, I would have busted a gut.

Keep the sandbags in the garage until the storm season is officially over. After you can use the sand to fill in any wash out areas in your yard 😉

Not to be mean but how was this horrible.. You had like 0 damage and power??
Happy to hear that you and Casey are doing well. You can get gutter extenders in the future to move the water from the downspouts away from the house.
Use a tarp that extends past the garage door and goes up the door - then place sand bags on the tarp. This will hold the tarp in place, and the tarp prevents seepage.
I am so glad you guys are safe
Glad you two are safe. I grew up in Florida and hurricanes can be stressful and scary. Take Care!
Glad you are both safe

You can reuse your sandbags as long as they weren’t in contact with flood waters. Which I don’t think yours were.
I think if you had 12 inches of rain your house would have been flooded inside and that pond would be covering that whole area yeah?
Glad you and Casey were safe. A while back you showed I believe what was a home fragrance that you said smelled like the DCL WIsh. Where did you purchase that from? Is is available online?
Do you have impact windows??? Didn’t see any shutters and the windows looked thin.
Toilets are mechanical so all you'd need to do is fill the tank, no power needed. We would just bring water from the pool.
Yes, Florida Girl slept through it. I do.
Many people don’t have pools. That’s why they fill the bath 🛀 tub.
Casey the duck or penny is to tell you when the food is no longer safe, you should know how long you have had no power
Dont understand why people leave their cars out on the road, especially one near a tree, glad you guys are okay.
We were saying the same. Why not park 3 ft up away from the small tree. And why park in front of someone else’s house, that is not Kyle’s vehicle.
For your tub leaking the water out next time leave the drain open and place a cup upside down over it the pressure will keep it there and sealed pretty good depending on cup, hope this helps someone
Somebody please teach this man about hurricane parties.!!!!!!
i thought you filled the tub just in case you lose access to water not electric no?
It was the scariest storm ever. Here in Saint Petersburg we are still with out power and trees are down. But we’re safe. Let’s hope Milton the last storm for a long while. Prayers to all Floridians 🙏
Who is the genius who parked a truck on the street right next to a tree?😳🙄
Please stay safe, praying for you and Casey's safety
we had the same issue with bathtub not holding water. Get a large rubbermaid tote (or 2) and put in tub. You can even put a lid on and still shower in front part of tub if your only shower.

You missed the 4 AM wind gust those ones were bad
You should store the sand bags in your garage, as long as they were not contaminated just in case we have another storm. We live in Sarasota, and went through the eye of the storm. Thankfully we are good. Go Pack Go!
PSA to everyone - if you ever make an insurance claim, NEVER NEVER NEVER use the word flood. Your claim will automatically be denied.
Use something along the lines of "water damage due to destructive hurricane force winds". But never the word flood
wait,...the toilet doesn't operate on power.
Your rain and wind was a normal Tx storm!
Scariest night ever. We were in Daytona and we woke up to a warzone. 2 weeks to remove all the trees
Also don’t evacuate for a storm of this level next time. You don’t Wanna make it harder for people who actually are in life threatening Areas like the coast.
Who parked their car right in front of your house?
Don’t be one of those people on UA-cam & monetize Just focus on you & Casey
That’s not a flood
Let the man do what he wants with his channel
I thought he said he was going to donate part of the proceeds of his video from the other day, not sure about this video.
That’s kind of how he makes his money is by monetizing… so in a way that is focusing on him and Casey.
He vlogs his daily life. These days just happen to be during a hurricane. It's part of his job.
I died at the slow motion of Casey karate chopping the pillow. Hurricane or not you better believe those pillows will look perfect
She’s in cobra Kai 🐍
@@KylePalIo Oh I can tell 👊
lol I caught that too. I was like what
@@KylePalIoor Casey Kai!! 😉😂
Who parked a truck in front of your house during a hurricane???
I live near Port Canaveral and felt everything you did. I think to people that don’t experience it, it lookoverly dramatic. But it’s real.
Did you consider boarding your windows? Seems like none of your immediate neighbors did that either but just curious since you were so worried about this storm and were doing a lot of research around preparations. Glad you guys and your house made it through in solid shape. Also, I hope you ignore some of the extra rude comments left on here.
You can flush without power. You need water in case there’s not water coming through city pipes
Which would require power if he was on a well (which I’m sure he isn’t) for the pump to work.
There is no way you think you need power to flush toilets right? At least not being on a well system.
Well, new developments use pumps to distribute the water, when the power is out those pumps won't work which means no water for your house, some pumps have gas generators but usually they just last a couple of hours.
@@ILoveManCity. I’m in a new development and this is not always the case. Let’s relax on this. Don’t deflect
@@ILoveManCity. the most you will lose is pressure
@@dreww2286 so why you assure that "there's no way you think you need power to flush a toilet"? When entire communities and buildings need power for it?
@@ILoveManCity. can we get a translation for that sentence
Great Daily Dose KP!
Sarasota where I live got messed up bad and I’m so upset 😭 this storm was a bad one.
Do not make an insurance claim in Florida unless you have too with your car or home , rates will suffer more then you collect
You do not need power to flush your toilet
I’m just really curious, why was there a bunch of garlic bulbs on the ground?
I bet it to keep those moles away 😂
I’m glad everyone is safe
Glad To See You Are Both Safe That Was A Crazy Hurricane hope you home is good and has no damage
Yes that is where you should go under the stairs. Please make more room in there so you will always have that space for hurricanes and or major thunderstorms that can have tornadoes. Also you do not want to be upstairs during a hurricane
"Horrible" ROTFLOL I am sorry but your reaction is ridiculous, you just had a regular storm.
Should fill pitchers of water in the frigid, for drinking, the melting ice is to see how frozen your food is, not how long power has been out. For next time.
If you are on city water and sewer you don’t have to worry about the toilets not working when power goes out. But if the lift stations quit working they won’t work either way. I would contact your water and sewer company to find out for sure what happens when the power goes out. 😊
For the future as somebody who lived through Andrew-don’t fill up your bathtub especially if you don’t have a second floor as that is one of the best places to be during a storm. The majority of people put themselves and covered themselves with a mattress and that is how they survived Andrew.
I am looking at those garlic bulbs spread around the gutter's downspout… and I'm wondering, do ya’ll get Vampires with those hurricanes down in Florida?
lol
hahah, those are not trees, they are small bushes
Hey Kyle the safest place is in your bathroom in the bathtub especially if it's on the main floor turn the tornado
Thank God everyone is good this was horrible where in Florida’s you live thank you for making the video be safe
Which app were you using to monitor the storm? I’ve never seen the one with the red at the top.
My aunt lives at fort myers Florida am glad you guys are safe
Roof gutters are meant to move water away from the basement, so water doesn’t make it’s way in. Florida homes generally don’t have basements, so no need for gutters.
Gutters will guide the water away from doors. Trust me, we went a long time without gutters, and they make a difference around doorways.
Thank God You are ok 🙏
Just for the future, your toilet isn't affected by power. It's a basic valve in the toilet - when you flush, it releases the water in the cistern and gravity pulls it down. If you lose water, the cistern won't automatically refill so you can use the water to manually flush instead. Just chuck a bucket full into the bowl. Still watching but very glad to see in the comments you both are safe and sound. Scary stuff!
You literally explained what he did and why he did it.
Up here in Daytona Beach we have severe flooding- huge trees down and no power
stay safe kyle
There is no stages. We were near Tampa, it never stopped raining. Each area is different
Insurance won’t be worth a claim. Your deductible for hurricanes is different than normal house insurance. Either 2,5 or 10 percent of house value. My folks house is 600k ish in palm coast. They have a 2% policy so damage must be over $12,000 before insurance kicks in. Their premium is high for a 2% policy, most are 5% but that makes $30,000 out of pocket first.
I saw on your friend Adam was driving his gold cart around and so much of the community was out helping clear debris . It’s a god thing to do to contribute to your community. There is great need everywhere so it takes all able bodies to pitch in. Even if it’s delivery water to those that can rake and shovel. Don’t hurt your back worse.
omg so horrible. how will you survive.
Haha you showed Casey in her pajamas
I love ya dude but..that was “one of the worst nights of your life “ ??
The stairs for a tornado is best place
Dont get rid of your sand bags until Hurricane season is over
I’m confused because it doesn’t really seem like you had a horrible experience? You had power and no structural issues, so where’s the horrible experience?
You gotta get some spout extenders bud, can't have water just spilling out at the base of your structure like that.
Water doesn’t turn into ice in Florida so wet ground around a foundation isn’t as big a deal as places where the ground can freeze. Plus no basement for water to leak in to. Plus plus the water table is very high in Florida, so foundations are almost always wet.
I was thinking they should make French drains along with the extenders, if the HOA will allow
You lost the water in the tub because you didn't close the drain
