- Anna Ritzenthaler said she had 6 feet of water in her back yard following Hurricane Debby. She does not believe all of it came from the rain from the storm.
Thank the Manatee County Commissioners that are approving our lands being destroyed, horrible Developments and apartments. The areas on state road 64 and 70 that were closed Monday, due to flooding, were right where all the development work is happening. It took me over 4 hours to try to get home on Monday due to the flooding. We need Commissioners that truly care about Manatee County residents and to quit making it a mini Orlando!
😂 mini Orlando 🤔
I remember a old man from Parrish told me 3 years ago that those developers built those homes on swamp land, and the home owners will find out the hard way in the future.
Even if she lives downhill from other developments does not mean that her property needs to be the drain area. Each property is responsible for its own storm water management. Counties collect fees and approve permits for storm water management and design. Someone is not doing their jobs or taking kickbacks.
No shit
She is correct
Tearing down monumental trees and vegetation that help retain water is also a main factor, this area has grown so fast, highways can’t even keep up, that said infrastructure is far behind! Homes are being built so fast it’s insane!
Yep that's the problem right there
New Brunswick County has had entire developments flood and become condemned due to mold. Everyone had to move with a total loss. The county is still working with developers full steam ahead to fill in every square inch of land. Is it greed or evil, or both?
Welcome to Florida !!!
Really?... of course it's caused by development... people saying they've been in their house for 40 years and got flooded out and it had never happened before and the camera pans around and they're surrounded by homes that are higher than they are the developers goal is every square inch covered in homes and roads and strip malls the water has no where to go and it will find the path of least resistance as the geniuses so eloquently pointed out and where is that? Right through the front doors of hard working folks houses just a shame how greed has shaped and scarred the state
So if you were to stand in front of a atmospheric physics at a university and explain your answer in a 30-minute speech would people laugh at you or take you seriously
They engineered the water off THEIR project, they dont care where it goes from there as long as it stats off their property.and if they can engineer runoff they don't have to WASTE land to engineer another retention pond. That's wasted land..
@@Kholoured TRUTH
Homes stacked up on top of one another built as cheap as they can and sold for a high premium
My parents live in Parrish now and it's really sad how it's changed over the last 10-15 years. Used to be a quiet place. Not anymore. It's insane how development has exploded and just ruined that area. They moved from Seminole to get away from all that. Now, Parrish and surrounding areas are on their way to becoming what they moved away from.
And it wasn't even record rain! That woman is absolutely right! The Sarasota area doubled in population in the last 20 years. New construction sites everywhere! Manatee is for sure the same. Thousands of new homes and condos and businesses. Blame our Leaders, blame our Politicians! Changing farmland into residential! The main Philippi Creek storm drain can NOT handle this anymore! Of course the media would never talk about this and rather plays along with Commissioners and Contractors! Follow the money!
For the first time ever, Bradenton Raceway and Dragstrip was flooded! Why? Because of new construction sites all around and Land Clearing for future sites! Start the Lawsuits!
Sorry but Who votes these politicians in office? Stop blaming everyone.
@@irwinsaltzman979 Sure our system is perfect. Corruption only happens in other Countries. Hope you live in Paradise! LOL
@@Nellie-H the system is rigged against the homeowners as the developers are allowed to build without doing any kind of flood research. Call your representatives, get laws changed , or upgrade current infrastructure. Voting for same people will give you same results.
While I feel for the homeowners, this is what less regulation and lack of oversight looks like. There are shining examples all over Florida too. It’s literally the Wild West down there with developers, HOAs/condo fees, property taxes, and climate change. A hot humid mess.
She's 💯 accurate!!
It did at the Freedom Factory and the Bradenton(sp)Motor Speedway. 100% of their Flooding was caused by a Brim that a developer put around the tracks recently to build a housing division what was clearly marked as agra hence why 2 raace tracks were put there....
Hell yea, brother. I took my Chevy big block down there on Tuesday. Took her for a rip and all I did was stink up my rig. Nearly burnt a hole in my britches. My wife told me stay outside and sprayed me down with a hose. Pick ‘em up and put ‘em down!
This is the result of 10 million people wanting to move to Florida and a massive overbuild in low lying once agricultural areas. There was nothing in that area in terms of housing until now. We have to put a 20 year moratorium on coastal building before it spins completely out of control...
Overbuliding and attracting people to the state. Then she said they want to build 16 more houses in front of hers unbelievable
Good luck fighting the government, especially insurance companies with more loopholes than you can imagine.
They’re good when collecting money for permits. They literally swallow your money in an instant
City Commissioners are in the back pockets of developers. It's absolutely insane how much development is going on in these counties. Folk buying homes in what used to be swamp land in designated non flood areas just to be flooded out. No flood insurance.
He got a kickback
to build a new home you need to pack the ground show the new home dose not slide down hill by doing that you make it impossible for the ground in that area to hold rain water mean yes the new homes did make more flooding. 12 inch's of water each area of land the new homes would have gotten haft that rain water most likely when down hill into the lake and if you add 12 inch's of 1/25 of a mile well you get around a few feet of water. before they build new homes on the ground them press down on the ground really hard before laying the new foundation that makes the ground unable to hold rain water.
@@justwatchingnews.9733 do you know what pluff mud is? It's buoyant, spongey.
The engineers on a grift is why.
Yeah every body knows water runs down hill and pay day is on friday. How could this happen.
and she missed the "in her mouth" part too !
Yes! The new developments caused the issue!
The way it’s going to be prevented is a thicker envelope to the county by way of the developer
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Over development with no end in sight ruins places. They're completely ruining this once quiet and peaceful area.
Alligators are happy. Build in a swamp watch out..Rain so good for the Everglades.
Fire the engineer who says "every storm is different". Probably on the payroll of developer. The way water flows never changes unless you change the grading.
The did the same thing in the County I lived in. In the last five years they approved 1000'so of new cookie cutters with no end in sight. Only ONE, yes, one road in and out. They expanded the main STROAD, with 55 mph, and stoplights every 200 yards. On each side of the STROAD they keep opening more and more strip malls, where no one ever stays in business for more than a couple years before going broke. It's been nothing but noise, stress, and traffic. I moved back to the mountains and haven't looked back. Oh yeah , I don't have ever increasing insurance and taxes anymore. Glad to be out of Florida. It's nothing but expansion and greed . Good luck.
Im starting to think Army Corp of Engineers went to a community college
Ah, you live in Florida which is tropical. Development will cause more flooding, water has no place to go.
Sarasota county commissioners are destroying the area
Manatee Lake, Damn at Celery Fields, that’s the actual concern here. Why… Environmental or people’s lives?
They utility developers need to be held accountable. The retention ponds were not deep enough
That pond would need to be 400ft deep to handle that water
That's the way it goes. Someone with more property value always has better drainage.
You can see in the aerial image that the land of the new development was raised, so now water that used to stay on that land is flowing on to less developed or undeveloped lands around it. So yes, it is the new development. The property owner should sue the neighboring community.
I don't feel bad for none of them not one local has took a stand an said anything about all the land being turned into condos an town homes . Not one Local has called out these developers nor have they called out any of these people moving here. Every person I meet that says they just moved here I tell them they are killing Florida we wish they would hit the road an go back home !!! I have lived here my whole life the influx of Yankees is to much for me I am moving asap Florida has turned into a ish hole because of them😢
Supposedly, the flooding was caused by a once-in-a-lifetime tropical storm, so it will not happen again during our lifetime. However, as a homeowner, I would recommend never relying on government officials or engineers to ensure your safety.
I suggest homes built within 10-15 miles of the coastline be built six or more feet above the coastal sea level to avoid flood waters on land that was drained to build upon, and this may solve most of the flooding problems in Florida
Once in a lifetime storms have been happening every year lol. Good luck with that mentality in the coming years
if you add in the fact all the new roads have no wholes in them any where the water will go down hill down the road there no way for the trapped water to go with no wholes a long the sides of the roads brick roads have wholes in between the bricks that is why they never flooded them old roads may be bumpy but they worked better when it rain and helped stop flooding all a cross the USA. the new roads may look nice but they make it flood worst in the USA.
Let me save the inspectors the trouble. IT IS from the additional building. The problem is the studies only are designed for engineered storms of maybe 6 or so inches. There is not enough deep retention ponds vs the amount of houses that have replaced low lying areas.
If new housing or commercial developments are not required to do a storm water drainage analysis of the area expect this problem to continue. Going to need some government regulation/involvement . And that is up to the voters.
Flood plain ? River bed ? is this ringing any bells ?
She got like 3' of water .
All new construction in florid are built higher. Which cause all their water to run off their property and onto someone else that lower. It a endless cycle of building higher then everyone else
They won’t admit it, but that’s why you’re property flooded
Those houses where built on swamp land where the water use to go. I know we had 12” of rain but new development does not help.it’s like all the wild life coming in your back yards ,they have no where else to go .in fact the lived there before you did
Of course it was. It flooded here in Charleston SC mostly everywhere near the trees have been hacked down
Stop building!
New development is definitely creating lots of problems in FL
Of course, these leaders don't care as long as the developer lines their pockets.
Developers are just chomping at the bit. Developers in Houston pulled the same BS building in flood plains.
Buyers are the ignorant ones! Land owners have a right to sell. Investors and developers have a right to buy! No one is held responsible… 🙄
The Japanese say that that's not magic all they did was put dirt under the new developments making it higher enforcing the water to lower areas
Huge Developers got overconfident that the area is historically not on a flood plain so they didn't consider the effect of the eratic climate we've been getting lately.
This is happening all over Florida including my backyard on the east coast!
Only God can save us from disasters so Believe in One God and ask for His forgiveness and help
Developers are criminals
You live in an area that used to be wetlands, how did you not realize heavy rain would flood your backyard?
yep, and they been told for years, but as long as maryjanes brothers cousin can build a subdivision and get rich nothing will ger done
let me help, when you build on land the water has no place to go. But hey the government should not stop growth. Don't Tread On Me.
As long as land continues to be cleared to make way for buildings, highways and parking lots then flooding will continue to worsen.
Development is destroying Florida.
This is happening all over Florida. New developments fill their lots higher than the older surrounding neighborhoods. The results are that neighborhoods that didn’t used to flood are now flooding. Then they try to blame “climate change”, when it’s really poor management.
Where is yMorgan and Morgan when you need them. They could make some good money from the developer.
DEVELOPER PROBLEM FOR SURE
The Counties always use a “modeling” program to determine everything. Those programs aren’t always accurate BECAUSE the historic records they are using may be INACCURATE. Therefor, the result of the modeling can be wrong! It just makes sense that if you pour concrete in a wetland area, and then it rains, the stormwater suddenly has no where to go - except the path of least resistance.
Do you know how it's going to be prevented in the future by moving inland
Oh yeah like they will own up to that?
So where’s the government permit zoning division at for this? Or flooding is part of the permit and zoning do they fine themselves per day of flooding. Or they’re busy hiding with the stick up their arse
It's funny how nobody is investigating the problem they had at the Manatee Lake Dam got it open now can't get it closed
Well you don't have to worry about it no more there's not going to be no development there any any more
Sue the county and city for lack of engineering knowledge....... should be at least $100k plus the village to have to spend $1.5 - 2.5 million on flood abatement measures to correct that issue. If they want to build those 16+ houses, double that new investment ($3-5 million).
I don't believe there was 6 feet of water...more like 3 ft
Whats the diff?
@@davidretondo2871 Are you seriously asking me the difference between 6 ft and 3 ft?
Those subdivisions engineered that the pond would handle THEIR water which it did. They dont care if it now cant handle their water and all the water from everyone else too and where will that water go when the pond fails. If it doesnt impact their project they dont care
So she lives downhill and wonders where the water that was uphill came from?
Uphill next door, didn't exist before development
new houses and more taxes thats all our leaders care about sorry but the people that have been here the longest will suffer the most. ive been here since 1957 trust me

Where is Puss'n Boots?
12" of rain will cause massive flooding. time to think about moving to a place without tropical storms and hurricanes.
Inland gets flooded just as much as the coast. Ohio, Colorado, Tennessee...have all flooded lately
@@nolaheart I lived in New York(Queens, Long Island) , Pennsylvania. I’ve never experienced a flooding situation. The rivers and creeks in PA do get high but I haven’t been flooded.
@@SpyCrew1212 NYC floods all the time now, Hudson Valley floods, New Hampshire just flooded, Ct gets flooded, charlotte floods, Washington state has flooding, even parts of Canada just flooded.It's different times now.
Edit: We just had 20in. from Debby in coastal SC and didn't flood. You never know with these massive rain events.
Time for them to go back to Europe
I live one mile from the coast north of Tampa and measured seven inches of rain in my garden during the storm. No flooding.
YES😀
I’ll be happy to buy these properties from the bank in 6 months
I believe the terminology is Hydrography.
Somebody's math skill set sucks.
You live on the coast what do you want
The 6 feet of water came from melting glaciers.
😅 you meant we should provide a loop hole by blaming climate change!? That may work as defense for corporate kawyers
Now is the time this is the hour ours is the magic ours is the power
What state? Are we just suppose to know??
Variances allowed by politically and financially motivated - or allowing any development in “flood plains “ in any and all cases - sorry for your losses , - however voting for a rapist and climate change denier , and professional prevaricator won’t help
Never buy in low area .
Yet the same storm has caused flooding up the entire east coast, blame god
How can she know any of this? She’s just looking for a payout from someone who can actually pay. Good luck 👍
This is what happens when you get record rainfall
She probably got her property cheap didn't check the flood map
They plan to build 10,000 more homes
And this Karen is a hydro engineer….so, she should know…..

He will help in his white boots 😂

Florida is one hurricane away from going away ,good riddance 🎉
