There was a fierce storm in Florida 2-3 years ago, so many hard to keep track, It went straight to the panhandle and walloped them there. One year later a news station reported that seniors living in a trailer park, some who had no insurance were still living under the same dire conditions. They had tarps covering the holes in their roofs, windows, etc. It was sad. I thought FEMA was supposed to help people in that type of need.
Get karma straight as whole nation or this is going to keep happening it's law of life. Don't know why same country funds year long geno-cide 🧐 while veto cease fire..while ppl blasted to pieces..U right..'nobody can take this much' God this irony is something to behold
@@LeL-q9eWell, they are being forced to admit that there is no funding for US Citizens. They have been spending FEMA money on supporting Illegals here in the US. Our own taxpayer money and just bare bones to help our own people. Treasonous. Absolutely treasonous.

She's so strong, she says she can't take it anymore, yes, but she's reaching out for help, she's still a fighter despite all the hardships... while I and probably most people wouldn't be able to handle it. God bless her. I hope she gets tons of help and tons of grace, peace, and joy soon.
I pay for my house, with my taxes, an insurance If your mom leaves you a house especially on the beach That is paid off free Don't feel sorry for people like this Because a house like that on the beach is about 6,000 monthly rent
That's amazing to get to live in paradise for over 50 years and this is the first damaging storm. I can't afford to live there, never even visited, I'm sure it's beautiful. At least she got 50 good happy years living in such a nice location. Sounds like she may stay or not. Hope for the best for her and all suffering from this storm.

Yes, pray for this woman but let's also work to prevent this from continually happening. I guess we need a new law that prevents people from building or buying flood prone homes. How many billions are we/FEMA going to have to pay out to rebuild these same flood prone homes just to have it happen again and again?
@@n6a6me6jebusMany of us don’t believe in god and think praying does nothing. I would never tell anyone not to pray or believe in god if that makes you feel better. I do believe if there is a god he wants us to fix our own problems and take action. This action is not building in flood zones, stop polluting the air with CO2 etc. My brother in law lives in Florida right on the intercostal and I have no doubt there will come a day his house and everything he owns will be gone. I could never sleep at night living so close to the ocean. Especially because of how warm the sea temps have been getting. Prayers without action on our part is just wishful thinking and lazy.
Ours are about $800 a year in Michigan. We don't live near the ocean, but, we don't wake up with the ocean in our living room once a year. And we have 3/4 of an acre and a nice, two-story house in a beautiful setting. So maybe get off the beach in Florida....with all your money.
Me as well. This grown man from Cape Breton, Nova Scotia wishes he could help with her suffering. I really wish I were a billionaire so I could help so many good people. This is hard to watch.

She refused to move to another state that isn't under constant threat of hurricanes. Actions, or the lack of, have consequences, and these are hers. It's difficult to have sympathy for people who tempt fate and entertain the "it will never happen to me" attitude. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. It seems she was never taught that growing up or never cared because she was too stubborn to leave Florida entirely.
When will people stop making comments like this about God? He put her in this situation in the first place. Why? Stop expecting help from something that doesn't even exist, it's pathetic, you're on your own in this nightmare
She said she lived there for 50 years and thought the insurance bill was confused with the tax bill but she took ownership in 2020 and tax bill is $16k. The tax bills before 2020 were $3500 a year because of a long running Homestead Exempt. That house is valued at $1.3 mil. Outrageous all around.
@@Oldschoolrules123 It's quite possible with homesteaded Florida property which has had the same owner for many years. The "save our homes" clause in the property tax laws cap the rate of assessed value at 3%/year and it usually comes in much less. Many of these older waterfront properties many years ago were much less expensive by today's standards. Also up to $500K of that reduction in assessment is "portable." In other words you can apply it to another homestead should you decide to sell.
All of these beach condos are so fucked. They’re going to get hit with assessments that only a multi millionaire can afford. As a native this storm opened my eyes quite a bit too. We’ve always been lucky but man…..if one ever hits direct impact we’re so fucked. A lot of my patients live on Clearwater beach and have lost nearly everything. My heart goes out to everyone affected.
😂 I'm amazed by people like you that act surprised when a hurricane does damage to Florida. It's part of the risk to live here . If you can't afford that risk then you move.
So you know about the new law. As a result of the collapse of the Surfside condo those living in condos with 3 or more floors have to set aside exorbitant fees (assessments) to pay for improvements and repairs, if needed, to foundations, etc. of said buildings. Many retirees and older residents are selling their condos because they can't afford to pay thousands of dollars for the newly required fees/payments. I totally agree. Tampa for example has been bullseye several times for category 4, and 5 hurricanes. But at the last minute just offshore they veered away. (For those who don't know the hurricane has to go ashore from the Gulf of Mexico into Pinellas county and across into Hillsborough county.) Lots of older homes at the north end of CB, including some mansions. One big hurricane and those homes and all the mobile homes in Clearwater will become pieces of wood and metal scrap. So many deaths can result if people don't evacuate. Yes they've been lucky so far. I am familiar with the area.

Here in St petersburg, we were lucky and still got major damage along the coast lines. I cant imagine the folks in Horshoe beach and other small communities in the big bend area. Of course qe cant forget about the distruction in our northern neighboring states. I have been helping as many people as i can, i am still fortunate to be able to work. Used my generators for a day and a half and then lent them out to others.
Well probably because this doesn't happen every year. CATEGORY 4 & 5 Hurricanes are still rare and even rarer still to hit densely populated areas like this.
@@xoxxobob61 True, I’m 40 years old…I’ve only seen two high category storms directly hit my hometown of New Orleans my whole life, Katrina & Ida. It’s more rare than people think.

Her Property taxes are $16,000 a year and you are going to donate money to that? God Bless you but anyone that can afford that and to live in a"Beach House" should not need your help. Her taxes for one year are like 5 years of my taxes. She should have sold that House long ago if she cant afford it.
That’s horrible America has turned its back on its citizens. Doesn’t matter what your political views are humanity morality, ethics and decency has taken a back seat to greed. Who is benefiting from this. The cost of living. Taxes and insurance. Our armies have fought for freedom in the name of liberty for this….Banks, interest rates to do what with? We are all at fault. We collectively turn and blind eye and def ear to injustice if it does not directly affect us personally. Now All American are being treating like second class citizens. This women lived in that house for decades and now she can’t afford to stay because she can’t afford the property taxes. This is disgraceful.
@@Oldschoolrules123are you meaning to be unkind and hurtful to someone who was just diagnosed with cancer and had significant damage to her home? Was that your intent?
@@johnjohng668I think he's just stating a fact. Yes, she has problems, but she has a solution that most people don't have. Sell the house and walk away with nearly a million dollars.
I have to agree with you. Maybe we wouldn't have an insurance crisis if the beaches were just that, beaches. You drive down gulf Blvd and can't even see the water because of the hotels, condos, and homes. Bring it to an end. It's crazy that we're all paying for this.

@@tommytomtom5531it’s going to get bad everywhere, due to the climate changes. Didn’t you see what happened to Asheville? No one ever expected it to get to the mountains. But I do agree, get the money and run literally anywhere else.
@@samia6888 One would have to consider seriously never going back to Florida. Life is good in many places without that kind of risk. They KNOW there is a whole "hurricane season". Michigan winters are not that bad. Four beautiful seasons without hurricanes or alligators or loud barefoot nutjobs. I have lived all over the US. South of the Ohio river is by far the worst region to live in.
I feel for everyone affected but I find it hard to believe that anyone living in Florida could even entertain that it won’t happen to me, because if you live in a coastal area it will happen. It’s just a question of when. I hope this woman can go where she will get her health taken care of.
Gee, I've lived in Florida for over 30 years. If you weren't aware that you could lose your home in any given year from a hurricane then you weren't paying attention or said... It won't happen to me attitude. My heart goes out to people affected, but this is the risk of living here.
@@Sonofawildanimal4241 It all depends on how you live. Sorry but I couldn't live in New York state anywhere for as cheap as I live here. Good try. I guess you think that Florida is all expensive beach front property.

Sometimes it's better to live in the North East, yes we have winter, in NYC sometimes we have no snow during the winter but it's safer and more expensive, I was considering moving to Tampa after this video I decided to stay in White Plains NY.
Having gone through a flood in 1990 with 21” of water in a single story home, I’d much rather lose my home to a fire. Then everything is just gone. You grieve and move on. In a flood, it’s ruined, but still there. Insurance values it as they would price it at a garage sale. Short cuts on repairs. I understand her grief. We escaped through chest deep water with my son on my shoulders and nothing else. We had only about 10 minutes warning. In another 10, we would have been trapped.
Realtors always say, "Location location location". Look at what that location has done to people's lives. The good thing about being middle class is that the locations we can afford are away from all this. Maybe, our location inland is the new location location location. I would never buy coastal view even if I can afford it. Look at what's happening at Palos Verdes -landslides. Homes are sliding towards the ocean. It's a matter of time when Long Island, NY and Malibu, Ca. Nantucket etc. where all the wealthy dwell all get affected.

This is my first year in Bradenton people laughed at me for evacuating for the first storm. I checked the news and saw flooding. Then this storm comes and does this much damage and it’s not a direct hit. 🤦🏿♂️ hope everyone is safe and evacuates.
One of the main reasons property taxes in some places are so high is because county employees can retire at 50 years old, this include cops and firemen. Because of theses early retirements and the generous pensions, taxpayers can be on the hook for 35 years for a retired county employee. These people need to work until they're 65.
@@CozyBear_29 That is what the home insurance is for. property tax is a scam. Some states are planning on eliminating property tax altogether. I hope its going to happen sooner than later. I think Kansas might the first. Kansas is making a great progress.
While I know this poor woman has lived there for 50 years ,the saving grace may be that her house ,a 700square foot 2bed 1 bath has a land value of 1.3M .No Mortgage on it either. It's a beautiful location. I'm surprised it hasn't been devasted before ,as she is feet from the water normally

@@karmasutra4774 Rentals are failing in FL because most people can’t get a job that pays enough to afford the rent. It has JUST increased to $13 ph. She said her taxes are $16000 py The home will probably not be able to get insured for a loan. Insurance is sky high. Flood insurance is separate and would be required. Rent there is about &2500 a month minimum for a house, and those are crappy little houses. A person who rents out a home needs to cover the loan and taxes, plus usually want to make some money to at least set aside for a repair fund. A new roof is REQUIRED to get insurance, and cost like $20,000 and UP. Instead of just handing out money, the government should buy and demo in flood prone areas. No rebuilding.
This is heartbreaking. If anything is rebuilt, it needs to be up to codes that have not been written yet. The fantasy of living near the water needs to be let go of permanently.
Florida used to be cheap and low taxes so you could retire there. Not anymore. I left it 15 years ago and I noticed FL clothes soap was 50% or more higher than the same product I saw in PA. But $16k a year in property tax is simply robbery. Think I paid about $6k which was also high. So glad I'm Dutch now!!

Many retirees and older residents are selling their condos because they can't afford to pay thousands of dollars for the newly required fees/payments. I totally agree. Tampa for example has been bullseye several times for category 4, and 5 hurricanes. But at the last minute just offshore they veered away. (For those who don't know the hurricane has to go ashore from the Gulf of Mexico into Pinellas county and across into Hillsborough county.) Lots of older homes at the north end of CB, including some mansions. One big hurricane and those homes and all the mobile homes in Clearwater will become pieces of wood and metal scrap. So many deaths can result if people don't evacuate. Yes they've been lucky so far. I am familiar with the area.
Heartbreaking 💔 so many lives affected by this hurricane
sending so much strength and virtual hugs to this poor woman🫂❤️ i hope she can catch a break soon what a stressful situation :(
This is truly just heartbreaking. Prayers prayers prayers for all of these folks who have lost everything. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Praying for you, hugs from 🇨🇦
praying. why. it doesn't do anything but make you feel like you helped. you did NOTHING. go down and help her clean, and send her some money if you want to do something that will actually matter.
@@davidcattin7006🙌 Exactly 💯 !
@@davidcattin7006 so sorry you feel that way, but,as I am disabled and fighting cancer,I am unable to do as you stated,so prayer is all I can give at this time,so I hope and pray people like you are able to make a difference in this lady's life,that is my prayer,and people with go and help in my place 🙏🇨🇦💕
Prayers don't work. Nobody's home. Wake up.
These losers really go find all the praying comments and copy paste their comments haha.
Here in St petersburg, we were lucky and still got major damage along the coast lines. I cant imagine the folks in Horshoe beach and other small communities in the big bend area. Of course qe cant forget about the distruction in our northern neighboring states. I have been helping as many people as i can, i am still fortunate to be able to work. Used my generators for a day and a half and then lent them out to others.
What a mess, I can’t see how people can go through this every year
Well probably because this doesn't happen every year. CATEGORY 4 & 5 Hurricanes are still rare and even rarer still to hit densely populated areas like this.
@@xoxxobob61 True, I’m 40 years old…I’ve only seen two high category storms directly hit my hometown of New Orleans my whole life, Katrina & Ida. It’s more rare than people think.
@@tswagg504So like every 20 years people will need to rebuild?
I can't imagine a Hurricane on a beach front property maybe a desert property. But no way on a beach front property.
@@kakishisfriend1126 SOME, but not most. Hurricane Katrina was an anomaly. For Hurricane Ida, most of the city was intact and life moved on, little to no flooding, minimal wind damage.
Just leave,why would anyone want to live somewhere that has them threatened by deadly destructive hurricanes yearly.
People like her never seem to set up GoFundme's. I would donate to her.
Her Property taxes are $16,000 a year and you are going to donate money to that? God Bless you but anyone that can afford that and to live in a"Beach House" should not need your help. Her taxes for one year are like 5 years of my taxes. She should have sold that House long ago if she cant afford it.
That’s horrible
America has turned its back on its citizens. Doesn’t matter what your political views are humanity morality, ethics and decency has taken a back seat to greed. Who is benefiting from this. The cost of living. Taxes and insurance. Our armies have fought for freedom in the name of liberty for this….Banks, interest rates to do what with? We are all at fault. We collectively turn and blind eye and def ear to injustice if it does not directly affect us personally. Now All American are being treating like second class citizens. This women lived in that house for decades and now she can’t afford to stay because she can’t afford the property taxes. This is disgraceful.
😂 Her house is worth over a million dollars. She can move.
@@Oldschoolrules123equity rich. Cash poor. The American dream.
They have turned a blind eye and given everything to illegals. We Are doomed.
@@Oldschoolrules123are you meaning to be unkind and hurtful to someone who was just diagnosed with cancer and had significant damage to her home? Was that your intent?
@@johnjohng668I think he's just stating a fact. Yes, she has problems, but she has a solution that most people don't have. Sell the house and walk away with nearly a million dollars.
She is not wrong more people need to move away from the beaches and low-lying areas.
I have to agree with you. Maybe we wouldn't have an insurance crisis if the beaches were just that, beaches. You drive down gulf Blvd and can't even see the water because of the hotels, condos, and homes. Bring it to an end. It's crazy that we're all paying for this.
We can't fix stupid. People will continue to build in flood zones and expect the rest of us/FEMA to pay to rebuild once the inevitable happens.
The entire Florida is at sea level.
@@sauronthegreat5799 LOL, not really.
Poor woman can't take ANY more. What a horror this storm was/remains.
They had no problem bragging about how the house they gave 100k for is now worth a million all those years
@@SpaceRanger187 Take the money and run. Any place north of the Ohio river will only be better.
she got 50 years in paradise with this being the first damaging storm, more that so many others got. Old, obese, now with cancer, cut your losses and move where you'll be safer.
@@tommytomtom5531it’s going to get bad everywhere, due to the climate changes. Didn’t you see what happened to Asheville? No one ever expected it to get to the mountains. But I do agree, get the money and run literally anywhere else.
@@samia6888 One would have to consider seriously never going back to Florida. Life is good in many places without that kind of risk. They KNOW there is a whole "hurricane season". Michigan winters are not that bad. Four beautiful seasons without hurricanes or alligators or loud barefoot nutjobs. I have lived all over the US. South of the Ohio river is by far the worst region to live in.
I feel for everyone affected but I find it hard to believe that anyone living in Florida could even entertain that it won’t happen to me, because if you live in a coastal area it will happen. It’s just a question of when. I hope this woman can go where she will get her health taken care of.
These people live in such a delusional life it’s very hard to have sympathy at this point
You're in my prayers Honey! I'm so Sorry you're going through this right now, sending you big hugs and healing vibes from Palm Harbor, FL
Gee, I've lived in Florida for over 30 years. If you weren't aware that you could lose your home in any given year from a hurricane then you weren't paying attention or said... It won't happen to me attitude. My heart goes out to people affected, but this is the risk of living here.
Expensive
Gee you’re so sympathetic.
@DementiaDon👀CNN brain rot.
Exactly!
@@Sonofawildanimal4241 It all depends on how you live. Sorry but I couldn't live in New York state anywhere for as cheap as I live here. Good try. I guess you think that Florida is all expensive beach front property.
God give her strength and surround her with your grace and mercy Lord she needs you we all need you Amen
So pious.
A little late for that. Why did he give her this burden anyway? So much for the cross hanging on her neck! She needs people to come help and MONEY! There is NO supernatural being coming to her rescue! Please just stop this!
@@davidcattin7006 Just because you are a non praying being doesnt make you immune to the natural laws such as you reap what you sew.
If a deity chose to send a storm ripping through it also chose the consequences. And second guessing it isn’t going to improve its attitude.
@@led-o2f

Sometimes it's better to live in the North East, yes we have winter, in NYC sometimes we have no snow during the winter but it's safer and more expensive, I was considering moving to Tampa after this video I decided to stay in White Plains NY.
@norm2264 you are the dumbell send her your millions you 💩
Having gone through a flood in 1990 with 21” of water in a single story home, I’d much rather lose my home to a fire. Then everything is just gone. You grieve and move on. In a flood, it’s ruined, but still there. Insurance values it as they would price it at a garage sale. Short cuts on repairs. I understand her grief. We escaped through chest deep water with my son on my shoulders and nothing else. We had only about 10 minutes warning. In another 10, we would have been trapped.

Realtors always say, "Location location location". Look at what that location has done to people's lives. The good thing about being middle class is that the locations we can afford are away from all this. Maybe, our location inland is the new location location location. I would never buy coastal view even if I can afford it. Look at what's happening at Palos Verdes -landslides. Homes are sliding towards the ocean. It's a matter of time when Long Island, NY and Malibu, Ca. Nantucket etc. where all the wealthy dwell all get affected.
So people can't think on their own?????
Sincerely I am a single retired man with a home and want to offer my living space to share someone /family in need. I went through hurricane Andrew and totally understand what its like to be wiped out.
Thank you kind sir.

@@LeL-q9e --it's pathetic to think that way but it is the harsh reality.
I had a friend who rented rooms in his house for several years and they were all degenerate thieves and slobs.
Sorry for her but living on the water in a hurricane zone how do you not understand the risks? Was Pinellas County not giving away sandbags? Why does she sound like she left NewJersey yesterday?
Lol true dat
I've lived in Florida for over 30 years and I'm so tired of people crying. We all know the risk of living here. If I had a 1 million dollar home in Florida... I'm selling and moving to a state that has the lowest natural disasters.
Have you ever tried to sandbag an entire house? Have you? Three or four feet deep around the entire house?! One woman with breast cancer.
@@Oldschoolrules123that would be Delaware.
You think sandbags are going to stop 4 feet of water? Are you slow?
Need to help people at home first, instead for WARs in Ukraine and near-east .... 😢
I love the ocean but i dont need to live 3 feet away from it.
I cannot imagine the amount of stress she is going through. I hope she is able to find some peace of mind soon.
Poor lady facing cancer and financial ruin on 2 fronts. I can relate dealing with cancer and all of life's problems never take a break nowadays, they just keep coming and costing More.
I was out there today cleaning a few of our properties we maintenance.. shits so sad man everybody's furniture, appliances and etc all by the road destroyed.. crazy man
Why anyone would stay in Florida is beyond me.
Seeing so many people suffering worldwide should make one count their blessings. God help all who are suffering.
16k in property tax, good lord
Plain outright theft if you ask me..damn racket..that and so called insurance
Over a million dollar home. Think about it.
@@piratepete842 If the insurance company sells you insurance and the insurance policy says that they do not cover flood damage.... THAT MEANS THAT THEY DON'T COVER FLOOD DAMAGE and you signed the contract.

😂😂😂 this is what god wanted tho 🤡🤡🤦
I guess god was asleep at the wheel ….i don’t think Florida wanted a hurricane …sunny skies would be best 😂😂
Why don’t YOU help her?
We were far from the hurricane in Bonita Springs and the storm surge still covered the barrier island where Bonita Beach is.
"People are selling their properties"... To whom?
Get used to it, Florida. This is the future.
Dummy, this has always occurred. But now FL has 20,000,000+ people to deal with it.
Thats why in 5 years i along with my wife are calling it quits in FL. i moved here to the saint augustine area in 2002 and alot has changed. I use to love it and now its going to chit.

yeah who trusts the drs down there????
I'm so sorry my family is there. This is heartbreaking
Milton’s paradise lost
This is my first year in Bradenton people laughed at me for evacuating for the first storm. I checked the news and saw flooding. Then this storm comes and does this much damage and it’s not a direct hit. 🤦🏿♂️ hope everyone is safe and evacuates.
I’m praying God provides you with the strength, help and healing from breast cancer that you need. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
There's most likely no god. Why did he let her get cancer anyway? Great guy!
Send them Money 🤑
My elementary school teacher in the early 80s said Florida would be underwater in 50 years. Looks like she was right. 😢
Guessing she believed in Science huh?
One of the main reasons property taxes in some places are so high is because county employees can retire at 50 years old, this include cops and firemen. Because of theses early retirements and the generous pensions, taxpayers can be on the hook for 35 years for a retired county employee. These people need to work until they're 65.
The main reason is because Florida has no income tax. The money has to come from somewhere.
So many of us in the same situation. Yet the counties are SO predatory with their property tax. Bless you Ma’am. Be strong.
No point living in a hurricane zone
Look at North Carolina
So Evacuate the whole state for good? That doesn't make much sense.
Chose your poison = wind, water, fire, earthquake = everyone will get a turn (they will get around to all of us).
Look at the realtor app flood maps next time you're looking for a house.
Or look up how many feet above sea level.
Lord my heart goes out to her. Jesus be with her in this time of need. Amen 🙏🏽
For decades we have been subsidizing Beachfront Residences. No more! Why do you even live on the Beach or in Wetlands?
$16k for property tax??? that is a scam and a theft!!! 😡😡😡

@@UncleDavesKitchenit doesn’t matter. still $16k is way above statistical average.
@@lindaparker1043 They live in a hurricane and severe flood zone, champ
@@CozyBear_29 That is what the home insurance is for. property tax is a scam. Some states are planning on eliminating property tax altogether. I hope its going to happen sooner than later. I think Kansas might the first. Kansas is making a great progress.
I feel for this poor woman. I'd be advertising for somrone to offer me a trade as is and I'm gone. 😢
She better get used to this because she lives in a place where hurricanes hit and they will hit again in the future.
Correct - it will most probably be worse tomorrow with Hurricane Milton
While I know this poor woman has lived there for 50 years ,the saving grace may be that her house ,a 700square foot 2bed 1 bath has a land value of 1.3M .No Mortgage on it either. It's a beautiful location. I'm surprised it hasn't been devasted before ,as she is feet from the water normally
My heart breaks for this woman, I hope someone comes and helps with everything, if I lived nearby, I would be there. (I live in CT). I am sending her prayers and hope for better days.

Buy the house and set up a rental

@@karmasutra4774
Rentals are failing in FL because most people can’t get a job that pays enough to afford the rent.
It has JUST increased to $13 ph.
She said her taxes are $16000 py
The home will probably not be able to get insured for a loan. Insurance is sky high. Flood insurance is separate and would be required.
Rent there is about &2500 a month minimum for a house, and those are crappy little houses.
A person who rents out a home needs to cover the loan and taxes, plus usually want to make some money to at least set aside for a repair fund. A new roof is REQUIRED to get insurance, and cost like $20,000 and UP.
Instead of just handing out money, the government should buy and demo in flood prone areas. No rebuilding.
