WRONG! WRONG! WRONG! SHAME on you mr. Velshi! You are a progressive person. STOP having the old outdated FAILURES of the 20th century on your show. These people have failed many times and they are the reason we continue to FAIL, miserably. The porta potties should have been waiting with the bottled water & food to begin flowing in immediately. Housing is easy TINY homes. TINY homes are self contained, they can have water reclaimation, solar panels, indoor plumbing. STOP thinking 19th century and begin thinking 21st century. If more folks had tiny homes, they could have hitched their tiny home to their truck and drove to higher ground. They would be spared losing everything. We as a country would be spared paying for this over and over and over again. It would cost us less in human life and money. The future is mobile. Tiny homes can be built in short amount of time. Travel trailers & motorhomes could also be used. STOP making this hard. Make it easy! Put these people to work cleaning up their own neighborhoods. FDR had federal work programs, why can't biden? The definition of INSANITY is doing the same thing, expecting a different result. Yet, we do this with EVERY hurricane. This is INSANITY.

@Joey's TenPercent You are so wrong in so many points of your rant. Mostly flat out lies. Nobody is telling anyone where to live. It is an idea, since insurance isn't available and hurricanes aren't going away. If one owns the land, of course they can rebuild on it. If it gets blown down, they need cash to rebuild it. Citizens was the only homeowners insurance carrier left. I wouldn't stick around if I were them.
He was great with Katrina...he is speaking from experience. People have No Where to go, and continue to live in danger zones. I volunteered for Katrina...went for one day; stayed 2 months. Changed my life purpose.
The same should be done for the millions living in deserts (California, Nevada, Utah, Nevada) that require water to be diverted hundreds of miles to support them. The biggest cause of climate disasters is people living in unsustainable locations.
Exactly. Unscrupulous developers, who bribe politicians in order to build housing in unsustainable, uninsurable or unlivable environments need to be SHUT DOWN. Congress should address this issue! ASAP
Also, to save drinking water in California, almond farms have to dissolve. One ounce of almonds takes 400 gallon of fresh water to grow. Having millions of almond trees in the desert is draining the West-Coast.
Every area in the u.s. has its problems. Coasts n S part of Florida not good places to live. Ditto bottom of lake michigan alleyway down to new Orleans = death areas. Our country *NEEDS* reorganizing.
Florida government should reclaim the land close to the water and let it go back to Mother Nature. Don't allow building or trailers in these areas any longer.
I don't want to be flippant but why do you think people live in areas like this? What options do you think there are? The most vulnerable are always going to be living in the areas at the highest risk for disasters like this. Jobs, infrastructure and cost limit people's options. It's the same reason people live in areas with high levels of pollution. The problem typically just gets worse because everyone with money will pick up and move taking revenue and jobs away making things even worse. Yes there are solutions but it's incredibly complex.
We have already forgotten about the damage that was inflicted upon the inhabitants of Puerto Rico by Hurricane Maria which was also a category 4 in 2017, It was hit by Hurricane Fiona last month and suffered the same flooding and loss that we see in Florida. Unfortunately, they are not receiving the same level of support as we are seeing in Florida. Having lived through 2 hurricanes in Hawaii, and seeing the wide spread devastation, many of the residents affected need to relocate. It is the sad truth. It will take a decade or more to bring back some semblance of what was just destroyed. All of the companies who write home owners in Florida will go bankrupt or leave the state leaving the residence uninsurable. This is a real example of climate change. Please don't forget that much of Florida will be dramatically affected by sea level rise too. Another hurricane like this will happen again but people don't want to face reality.
In total agreement. Which I sent a post to one of my legislators for the state of Louisiana, laying out exactly what you're describing. These legislators need to effectively put up or shut up. They should all be taking a pay cut, term limits and live with each other in DC dormitories, paying their share of the electricity and mix them up, dems and repub's rooming together. They should never be able to raise their salaries until the people working 3 jobs per family start earning a living wage. I'm so sick of the bickering in politics. Never seemingly doing what they know is right from the jump. I'm also in agreement about not giving permits to rebuild in low lying vulnerable areas but leaders like the government want to show they're creating jobs, good tax base for the state. God bless and be with those hurricane victims of all of them.
Exactly what i think. Some locations are just not sustainable for house or trailers. Seasonally, temp homes if fishing, but it can’t be the home base. Seriously, get the big picture and long view when finding a place to live. It is just going to on repeat if folks don’t stop planting themselves at sea level. Sigh. 😢
It's always the poor people, the ones living paycheck to paycheck, that don't own homes, that suffer the most in these types of disasters. They can't really get any REAL help from FEMA, because they don't own property. So their jobs are gone, the homes they were renting are gone, everything they own in the world is gone. The hope of getting even a fraction of it replaced is slim, at best. It's a nightmare for them.
@Joey's TenPercent Ron DeSantis voted NO on helping any state disaster. He said it's not up to the Fed. Gov. Flying LEGAL immigrants across the country so others can "share the burden", while putting $millions in his pilot buddies pockets. Funds that were allocated to help mom and pop businesses. Efff DeSantis and to the poor poor residents, I'm sorry. Elections have consequences. Vote for a dictator, you will lose everything.
@Joey's TenPercent Yeah he'll find some creative self praising photo ops. Behind the scenes he'll be begging Martha's Vineyard to "share the burden". He'll help a couple billionaires rebuild mansions while the rest can't get a porta pot. I'm sick of bailing out Florida.
Insurance companies will stop insuring if you choose to remain near the water and in the danger zone. It's like building near an active volcano at this point.
Citizens has been the only provider for a while. Flood insurance is expensive, so many do without and expect Martha's Vineyard and New York to bail them out. Rinse Repeat.
If Congress had listened to the Scientists and acted then, maybe, just maybe we could have softened the blow of climate change - but now the time table has accelerated much faster than even predicted. Just because you don’t want to believe scientific facts, does not mean you are safe from its consequences.
I have been saying this since Katrina. The world is constantly evolving. There are certain areas that are not going to be in habitable by people. Whether they are too low and will flood or whether they are in storm zones. Taxpayers cannot continually fund rebuilding in areas that nature is taking back. I don't know how the government addresses it but it needs to be addressed. I literally think this every time Haiti washes away, there has to be somewhere that the people on this island can be rehoused in a safer environment because it's never going to get better and every year we're spending millions and millions of dollars internationally in places like Haiti, India, parts of the United States, etc., that nature is reclaiming coastal land most of it. It is disheartening but we have to realize this is the truth, and make plans.
Stricter building codes and No bailouts in areas of known disaster zones. You cannot live in a Hurricane zone and not expect this to happen. We CAN build homes and businesses that can handle the stresses. It's just a matter of enforcing building codes which increase the cost of building.
It would take a lot more than building codes. They need flood walls and other steps to channel as much of the water as possible away from homes and businesses. They have actually been warned for years about the mitigation that would be necessary as the effects of climate change got worse. The excuse is always, "It costs too much".
@Saving Democracy No one is “crying”. They’re criticizing. It’s something rational grown-ups do. You’re the one getting triggered all over this comment section🙄
Problem is: Almost everywhere is a Hurricane Zone now. However, some places get devastated regularly. Must do some hard thinking like You stated. It's hard for people to change; but, absolutely necessary.
@Joey's TenPercent And that complaint could be solved tomorrow by making Puerto Rico a state like they have been asking for for half a century… BTW most Florida residents don’t pay income tax either - they are below the minimum cut off. Florida gets more money from the Federal government than they pay in taxes (and have for decades, just like Texas).
Thank you General for bringing attention to the people. Your empathy is a voice in a capitalist society that just keeps going and lets the people on the edges just fall off. Third world conditions look verry real for the future of the U S. We seem to believe a good quality for life should be available for all. That is not the government we have anymore. There are so few voices for those under the margins. Thank you for being a voice.
Definition of insanity= doing the same thing and expecting a different result. What do we think? when we build houses in areas which are repeatedly destroyed, over and over again. It is STUPID and wasteful. No wonder insurance companies just say NO!
I am sick of "sharing the burden" as DeSantis calls it when he flys LEGAL immigrants across country with taxpayer $millions go to his pilot friends. Elections have consequences. DeSantis is another grifting clown show. Good luck getting a porta pot.
A leader may have spent some time negotiating with insurance companies or something constructive. But with fighting Mickey Mouse and Dr Seuss, there wasn't time. Elections have consequences. Enjoy the clown show. I'm sure he'll find many creative and self praising photo oportunities.
Unless Fossil fuel companies are held accountable, you might as well move away from coastal areas, you can waste a lot of money to rebuild your Sandcastles, only for the next storm to wash it away again,but it's not gonna get better until we change our minds about fossil fuels
I’m not so concerned about the thousands of yachts and sailboats and their wealthy owners. They can survive..at least they have saving accounts unlike the lower income persons who suddenly have nothing, no where to go and no money to feed themselves. This is a true crisis unlike the political crisis’ that make the headlines. This is what National Guard should be saved for, not sending to border. NG has to leave their families and jobs for political stunts instead of going into disaster zones.
I'm just going to say this and it may sound terrible but it's true. DeSantis will never allow this many people to be moved out (like they did with Katrina) this close to an election. This is an extremely red area of the state and he is not going to part with those voters. Basic essentials of life be damned.
People just can't pick up and move when they haven't the money, transportation, or a destination to go to. It doesn't matter if the government says to go or not, if you haven't the means. Evacuation costs hundreds of dollars even for a couple of days and can quickly multiply into a thousand plus dollars with gas, food, lodging, etc. Some had to work and could not leave. Essential personnel such as emergency responders, hospitals, news and weather media, the mayor and crew, gas stations, restaurants, hotels, and such occupations all had to shelter in place. We have huge problems now. All these displaced people are going to need housing, jobs and income if they didn't lose theirs in the hurricane, and now cars too, to get from A to B. It was one thing to talk about rehoming the people from Katrina or Rita, but that was more localized, and pockets of communities affected, and this is an entire state in chaos. Prayers for all.
They currently have nothing and will have to fight with everything to get half of what they lost, only to have it happen again. Florida is literally a hurricane speed bump.
They will have to be treated like immigrants. The Governor has experience shipping immigrants to different areas! He brought this curse to Florida. I wish all the residents well in their efforts to recover from this tragedy.
Sir you sound really ignorant🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️ It’s call Mother Nature. Ron Desantis is great governor a man of integrity!! Unlike y’all wicked Democrats worry about how Crazy Biden gonna fix this inflation because things has gotten worse sense he being in the office🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️ Rent food gas etc…???
In Australia after Cyclone Tracey back in the '70's, the Government arranged for people who were willing to have the victims billeted to them until things got organized. They took a ballot on how many folks you could take in then they flew them all over the country and it worked well. The whole country came together.
The government must make specific land areas out of bounds. No rebuilding. No new developments. They should just restore the coastline to a natural state.
If you mean ‘specific land areas’ likely to be affected by hurricanes, you’re talking about the whole seaboard of Gulf of Mexico and eastern seaboard or USA, all the way up to Canada.
@@lindaj5492 If I owned the land and want to risk building on it, I have every right. People throwing around these stupid ideas don't get it. Insurance is an issue and take your chance. I'm tired of bailing out Florida. Let the Genius clown they voted for figure it out.
There's so many homeless people here now where the hurricane wasn't hit in florida. There's no help for us either. So I have no idea what they're going to do. I'm on a waiting list and I've been in a 1996 Jeep Cherokee for 6 months now. I am severely disabled with Advanced bone disease copd. There's no help. I I had to get out because I couldn't afford triple the rent. After given 25 years of my life helping special needs children. That's Florida right now before the hurricane imagine what it's going to be like now.
I moved in 2014… I had a 5 year old son… I could’ve moved to a coastal community but I didn’t.. I took hurricanes and flood zones into account… I could’ve moved in the Southwest.. but I saw drought and water issues coming in the future… I made decisions based on the safety of my family and stayed out of fire zones… flood zones… tornado zones… I love the southeast low country but didn’t feel like making my son gator bait. This insanity of allowing developers to build everywhere and anywhere they can make a fast buck has to stop… People need to get smarter about where they choose to live.
My heart goes out to Floridians but they need people in place to look out for their best interest. This just shows the vulnerabilities of people and the lack of knowledge there is provided or even talked about in that state. Praying for everyone. 🙏🏽
DeSantis wasted money that could have been used for recovery efforts on a political stunt hauling migrant workers. He deserves to go to jail and is already being sued for it. It’s not looking good for him.
@Joey's TenPercent Ron DeSantis is no leader. He is busy making up fake problems with Dr Seuss, Mickey Mouse, crt, and playing hero when he fixes these fake problems. He cannot be trusted with funds to be allocated fairly. He's playing reality tv with human lives, while he could have been let's see... negotiating with insurance companies maybe. He's been traveling around handing out big cardboard checks for photo ops, like Santa Claus after he voted NO on the bill. Another grifting clown show.
@Joey's TenPercent there should not be homes built in those areas...low lying areas surrounded by water may seem like paradise, but it is not cost efficient nor sustainable. If you have been through a hurricane 3 or 7 times, that is a problem. And federal funding should not be used to keep assisting people in an area that is uninhabitable. Throwing money down the drain. A lot of people did not have their homes and boats insured. If these people choose to live in these disaster areas, then insurance should be a must, not an option. Insurance companies are not going to take the risk on homes in these areas. Again...lack of knowledge is a problem and you proved my point by saying you did not understand my argument.
@Joey's TenPercent the dam that breeched and flooded 60 homes....maybe a Dem would have paid more attention to the infrastructure instead of worrying about which books to ban and what Disney does.
A handful of dirt poor fishermen look resilient enough to survive in the hardscrabble aftermath. The rest of the population probably need to get off low lying barrier islands altogether. Stupid to build there in the first place. Make it all a public park.
It sure would be nice if Florida could show a little gratitude to the rest of America for bailing them out again. Rather than just demanding the aid while holding out one hand and giving America the finger with the other.
I live in Central Florida and live on Social Security Disability. The rents are going up already in Florida. I was lucky to get into a senior building in Central Florida 2 years ago. It is income regulated but my rent is still going up almost $100 a month since I moved here two years ago. There already is a housing shortage for seniors and the poor in Florida. I do not know how these people are going to make it. I was smart and moved away from the coast 2 years ago and I am happy that I did so. l formerly lived in New Smyrna Beach and so many people were flooded there and are now heading home to a mess. Their homes are not liveable. Those poor people in SW Florida will suffer for months. It will take that long to get power back and to clean up the mess. Where will they stay at? What if we get another hurricane?
I am a retired shrimp boat capt. The problem is that usually government programs give money and loans to the boat owners, while the crew members are considered self employed and don't qualify for aid. It's always easy to say we helped, when the ones that need it most get nothing.
How do these individuals vote usually? Do they often vote for policies and policy makers that consistently block funding for public services and sensible climate change actions? Will this or any life changing event have any affect on their voting in the near future?
@@crismcdonough2804 Collectives….hardly socialism, do you think? Collective farming, collective housing, collective intelligence. it’s when people who have a shared interest come together. Can’t keep up with insurance rates, people go without entirely. Better…pool the insurance money that actually gets paid out when it's needed. People with a shared interest, no tax, no handout, no corporate greed. Devise a new way, this isn’t working. Call it money pools. Anything to keep Tuckerisms down. Yeah, Tuck. Probably call the Penny dish socialism… need a Penny? Take a Penny. Have a Penny? Leave a Penny.
These residents need to leave and never come back. The government needs to administer grants for them to relocate and start over. An alternative would be to rezone these areas to support better hurricane resistant residential buildings, no homes ever again. Another option is to support the building of next gen mobile homes like from Boxabl that are able to be relocated during a time of emergencies. But rebuilding what was there should not be allowed to happen. Hurricanes, rising ocean levels and other natural disasters aren’t going anywhere. Funny thing is, most of these people affected criticize the government until they really need them. Sorry people, the idea of small government will never be able to handle disasters like this. A large, more socialistic government would be better suited to support the needs of the people. A more federalized government, not states that only allocate resources to the rich of their constituents.
Why dont we "conscript" some Russian luxury yachts or some unused cruiseships to park just off the coast. Those things gotta be able to house a few people for a bit...
We Love General Honore. Thank you both for this news.Its the less fortunate that always get forgotten.AndcWedo hear you.I have sooo many loved ones, that lived thru this horrific storms We're already gathering items along with others here to bring to Forida.🙏❤️😌
IAN is a rewrite of history, but not because it came ashore as a cat 4, General. Because it displaced water like no other in Florida's history. Whether were turning into a New Orleans, Bangkok... saucer shaped, overflow depository, or its a global warming tweak, remains to be seen. Either way, too many of those people know; reloading, rebuilding... is not an option.
Stop spending billions of $$$ in rebuilding structures for the umpteenth time and instead spend it on relocation to areas that aren't being inundated by the sea inch by inch
It’s going to keep on happening and it’s going to keep getting worse until we actually do something about our ways. It’s time we start taking care of our planet.
Florida now has its own refugee crisis!!! I pray that the inhumane indifference callously demonstrated by the Republican players DeSantis et al is not the same for the poor of Florida. Let's see what happens. God bless the poor everywhere.
I hope any Floridians who saw California's climate issues as "their" problem for the state to solve now have a better perspective. All of our citizens and states need the help of the collective. Federal money is socialism at its finest. All of our taxes collectively helping when it is needed. One more reason corporations and billionaires should pay their fair share of federal taxes.
What would really help them would be to learn to not rebuild in a place that gets destroyed by hurricanes every year. Hard to feel bad for people dying from stupid. Every year we hear someone say "I didn't think it be that bad!" And "we should have evacuated" yet like an Alzheimer's patient, all of that is completely forgotten the moment the last raindrop hits.
@Saving Democracy your right!!! I should just live and let stupid wipe itself out. Not worry about it ...and smile every year when it's on the news! Thank you for opening my eyes to the miracle of natural selection.
Name a state in the US that is not affected by natural disasters, that also has the resources (jobs, housing, and such) where the 15 million people that live in coastal Florida could move to... I'll wait.
@@brighteyesseven1071 The general suggested that some people will have to move. 40% of Floridians live there because of low taxes, but they have huge sums of money
Fema trailers won't work on the coast because there will be more hurricanes coming. People need to move inland. They need to take care of when & where they settle.
Hey America, the quicker you can rebuild Florida, the sooner they can get back to waving their confederate flags in your face while demanding a civil war.
How many giant cruise ships can you rent for $12 million? It seems like this would be a better use of taxpayer dollars during this housing catastrophe. Everyone could be housed until they got back on their feet, right?
It is a bitter pill for people to swallow, but this is not the first, nor will it be the last time in America that people have to move from where they are to begin anew. In this case it was a hurricane. I am waiting for the great migration of people from areas that no longer have the water to sustain them or have become so arid that it is not possible to reside there.
I don't want to make this about me.. But let me just say6 this. I am a victim of a flash flood, I had flood insurance and I have sense been flooded out 6 more times.. No one came to help me not one person.. No one.. I live in an area that isn't dotted with million dollar homes... our neighborhood is a small.. and it could easily have been fixed and we could have easily and cheaply been helped.. But Nope that did not happen.. and yes we did ask.. Sure I was able to get a few bucks. from FEMA Flood insurance. sure the city and state got millions .. to do flood mitigation work.. Bottom line.. don't hold your breath.. do not repair flooded homes.. move out if you get any money take it and go. If it flooded once it will flood again and if you live it that flooded home it will make you sick... you just won't know it for years but when you do find out you are sick from mold, PTSD and years of stress... well. no one will be there for ya,
Those being interviewed, "Thank god we're all alive so we can vote for DeSantis again and save Florida and continue making it illegal to say the words 'climate change""
Suddenly, the winter months of the upper Midwest doesn't look so bad. This part of the United States was never meant to have 22 million people living on it. That is the message Lt Gen. Honore is trying to get across to the powers that be.
Given that climate change is going to keep going until human behaviors change enough to bring temperatures down, it would seem wise for people living in hurricane zones to move further inland and find other means of making livings. Because it appears that these catastrophic hurricanes are going to keep happening. As are the catastrophic fires happening in the west, where I live. We're moving towards building with non-wood materials to stop feeding fire. Hoping everyone puts their heads together and make their futures safer.
General Honore is wonderful and a realist. I'm glad he is telling the truth. Thank you Sir.

Seriously, get the big picture and long view when finding a place to live. It is just going to on repeat if folks don’t stop planting themselves at sea level. Sigh. 😢
Speaking of insurance...how about national health care for all...not tied to work?
The insurance co isn't going to pay 250k every 10 years for a home that you've only paid 15k for in insurance premiums.
Florida premiums avg 5k per yr the highest in the country
It's always the poor people, the ones living paycheck to paycheck, that don't own homes, that suffer the most in these types of disasters. They can't really get any REAL help from FEMA, because they don't own property. So their jobs are gone, the homes they were renting are gone, everything they own in the world is gone. The hope of getting even a fraction of it replaced is slim, at best. It's a nightmare for them.
Stop voting for politicians that want low state taxes.
@Joey's TenPercent Ron DeSantis voted NO on helping any state disaster. He said it's not up to the Fed. Gov. Flying LEGAL immigrants across the country so others can "share the burden", while putting $millions in his pilot buddies pockets. Funds that were allocated to help mom and pop businesses. Efff DeSantis and to the poor poor residents, I'm sorry. Elections have consequences. Vote for a dictator, you will lose everything.
@Joey's TenPercent HaHaHa ... share the burden. DeSantis cannot possibly do much about it. There's an election coming up.
@Joey's TenPercent I'm sick of bailing out the state of grifters.
@Joey's TenPercent Yeah he'll find some creative self praising photo ops. Behind the scenes he'll be begging Martha's Vineyard to "share the burden". He'll help a couple billionaires rebuild mansions while the rest can't get a porta pot. I'm sick of bailing out Florida.
Insurance companies will stop insuring if you choose to remain near the water and in the danger zone. It's like building near an active volcano at this point.
Citizens has been the only provider for a while. Flood insurance is expensive, so many do without and expect Martha's Vineyard and New York to bail them out. Rinse Repeat.
If Congress had listened to the Scientists and acted then, maybe, just maybe we could have softened the blow of climate change - but now the time table has accelerated much faster than even predicted. Just because you don’t want to believe scientific facts, does not mean you are safe from its consequences.
General Honore should be an American Icon!
Exactly!
I have been saying this since Katrina. The world is constantly evolving. There are certain areas that are not going to be in habitable by people. Whether they are too low and will flood or whether they are in storm zones. Taxpayers cannot continually fund rebuilding in areas that nature is taking back. I don't know how the government addresses it but it needs to be addressed. I literally think this every time Haiti washes away, there has to be somewhere that the people on this island can be rehoused in a safer environment because it's never going to get better and every year we're spending millions and millions of dollars internationally in places like Haiti, India, parts of the United States, etc., that nature is reclaiming coastal land most of it. It is disheartening but we have to realize this is the truth, and make plans.
when is the most famous Floridian going to throw some paper towel rolls at people?
Stricter building codes and No bailouts in areas of known disaster zones. You cannot live in a Hurricane zone and not expect this to happen. We CAN build homes and businesses that can handle the stresses. It's just a matter of enforcing building codes which increase the cost of building.
These people got away with it for a century. People forget and politicians pander to the people and developers.
It would take a lot more than building codes. They need flood walls and other steps to channel as much of the water as possible away from homes and businesses. They have actually been warned for years about the mitigation that would be necessary as the effects of climate change got worse. The excuse is always, "It costs too much".
OR ..REQUIRE Catastrophic homeowners Insurance to legally live in a Hurricane zone. Ya want to live near the ocean.. PAY THE PRICE YOURSELF.
@Saving Democracy No one is “crying”. They’re criticizing. It’s something rational grown-ups do. You’re the one getting triggered all over this comment section🙄
Problem is: Almost everywhere is a Hurricane Zone now. However, some places get devastated regularly. Must do some hard thinking like You stated. It's hard for people to change; but, absolutely necessary.
Can we take a tour of Puerto Rico to see the state of things there now?
@Joey's TenPercent And that complaint could be solved tomorrow by making Puerto Rico a state like they have been asking for for half a century…
BTW most Florida residents don’t pay income tax either - they are below the minimum cut off. Florida gets more money from the Federal government than they pay in taxes (and have for decades, just like Texas).
@Joey's TenPercent Puerto Rico IS THE UNITED STATES, dummy.
@@allangibson8494 Well said
Thank you General for bringing attention to the people. Your empathy is a voice in a capitalist society that just keeps going and lets the people on the edges just fall off. Third world conditions look verry real for the future of the U S. We seem to believe a good quality for life should be available for all. That is not the government we have anymore. There are so few voices for those under the margins. Thank you for being a voice.
@Saving Democracy You should know, there's no empathy with this silly botty bot. No Rubles For You. Vlad Putty is busy today; so, go back to sleep.
Definition of insanity= doing the same thing and expecting a different result. What do we think? when we build houses in areas which are repeatedly destroyed, over and over again. It is STUPID and wasteful. No wonder insurance companies just say NO!
I am sick of "sharing the burden" as DeSantis calls it when he flys LEGAL immigrants across country with taxpayer $millions go to his pilot friends. Elections have consequences. DeSantis is another grifting clown show. Good luck getting a porta pot.
A leader may have spent some time negotiating with insurance companies or something constructive. But with fighting Mickey Mouse and Dr Seuss, there wasn't time. Elections have consequences. Enjoy the clown show. I'm sure he'll find many creative and self praising photo oportunities.
Y'all need to elect people that actually have your best interests in mind not their own political ambitions.
Unless Fossil fuel companies are held accountable, you might as well move away from coastal areas, you can waste a lot of money to rebuild your Sandcastles, only for the next storm to wash it away again,but it's not gonna get better until we change our minds about fossil fuels
Thank You Sir... Miss Your Leadership and Honesty
I’m not so concerned about the thousands of yachts and sailboats and their wealthy owners. They can survive..at least they have saving accounts unlike the lower income persons who suddenly have nothing, no where to go and no money to feed themselves. This is a true crisis unlike the political crisis’ that make the headlines. This is what National Guard should be saved for, not sending to border. NG has to leave their families and jobs for political stunts instead of going into disaster zones.
I’m not concerned about the wealthy at all.
Bring Russel on the job he gets the hard work done.
I'm just going to say this and it may sound terrible but it's true. DeSantis will never allow this many people to be moved out (like they did with Katrina) this close to an election. This is an extremely red area of the state and he is not going to part with those voters. Basic essentials of life be damned.
💯
Good point! Let’s see what happens 👀🍿🍿
All of a sudden voting by mail from another area will be A ok for Republicans
Lots of space on golf courses. Put up tents. Put them in hotels/empty buildings with amenities.
People just can't pick up and move when they haven't the money, transportation, or a destination to go to. It doesn't matter if the government says to go or not, if you haven't the means. Evacuation costs hundreds of dollars even for a couple of days and can quickly multiply into a thousand plus dollars with gas, food, lodging, etc. Some had to work and could not leave. Essential personnel such as emergency responders, hospitals, news and weather media, the mayor and crew, gas stations, restaurants, hotels, and such occupations all had to shelter in place. We have huge problems now. All these displaced people are going to need housing, jobs and income if they didn't lose theirs in the hurricane, and now cars too, to get from A to B. It was one thing to talk about rehoming the people from Katrina or Rita, but that was more localized, and pockets of communities affected, and this is an entire state in chaos. Prayers for all.
They currently have nothing and will have to fight with everything to get half of what they lost, only to have it happen again.
Florida is literally a hurricane speed bump.
They will have to be treated like immigrants. The Governor has experience shipping immigrants to different areas! He brought this curse to Florida. I wish all the residents well in their efforts to recover from this tragedy.
@El Chupra Neibre
That mindset helps.

In Australia after Cyclone Tracey back in the '70's, the Government arranged for people who were willing to have the victims billeted to them until things got organized. They took a ballot on how many folks you could take in then they flew them all over the country and it worked well. The whole country came together.
The government must make specific land areas out of bounds. No rebuilding. No new developments. They should just restore the coastline to a natural state.
If you mean ‘specific land areas’ likely to be affected by hurricanes, you’re talking about the whole seaboard of Gulf of Mexico and eastern seaboard or USA, all the way up to Canada.
@@lindaj5492 If I owned the land and want to risk building on it, I have every right. People throwing around these stupid ideas don't get it. Insurance is an issue and take your chance. I'm tired of bailing out Florida. Let the Genius clown they voted for figure it out.
DJB You're crazy thinking.
There's so many homeless people here now where the hurricane wasn't hit in florida. There's no help for us either. So I have no idea what they're going to do. I'm on a waiting list and I've been in a 1996 Jeep Cherokee for 6 months now. I am severely disabled with Advanced bone disease copd. There's no help. I I had to get out because I couldn't afford triple the rent. After given 25 years of my life helping special needs children. That's Florida right now before the hurricane imagine what it's going to be like now.
Put them in Mar-A-Largo!
I moved in 2014… I had a 5 year old son… I could’ve moved to a coastal community but I didn’t.. I took hurricanes and flood zones into account… I could’ve moved in the Southwest.. but I saw drought and water issues coming in the future… I made decisions based on the safety of my family and stayed out of fire zones… flood zones… tornado zones… I love the southeast low country but didn’t feel like making my son gator bait. This insanity of allowing developers to build everywhere and anywhere they can make a fast buck has to stop… People need to get smarter about where they choose to live.
Good for you using common sense and a level head!!!
The folks in denial about the climate are in the most susceptible areas for natural disaster.
They live in a state where the government, by decree, cannot account for climate change in its plans and reviews of permits.
The science already tells us there are only two genders. That withstanding, your kind are still in denial.
Hurricanes have become less frequent and less severe. Problem is people moving to areas that shouldn't be lived in...
@@brentharrington9235 You got to be kidding, right?
Well , what if a major hurricane hits New York city ?
My heart goes out to Floridians but they need people in place to look out for their best interest. This just shows the vulnerabilities of people and the lack of knowledge there is provided or even talked about in that state. Praying for everyone. 🙏🏽
DeSantis wasted money that could have been used for recovery efforts on a political stunt hauling migrant workers. He deserves to go to jail and is already being sued for it. It’s not looking good for him.
@Joey's TenPercent Ron DeSantis is no leader. He is busy making up fake problems with Dr Seuss, Mickey Mouse, crt, and playing hero when he fixes these fake problems. He cannot be trusted with funds to be allocated fairly. He's playing reality tv with human lives, while he could have been let's see... negotiating with insurance companies maybe. He's been traveling around handing out big cardboard checks for photo ops, like Santa Claus after he voted NO on the bill. Another grifting clown show.
@Joey's TenPercent there should not be homes built in those areas...low lying areas surrounded by water may seem like paradise, but it is not cost efficient nor sustainable. If you have been through a hurricane 3 or 7 times, that is a problem. And federal funding should not be used to keep assisting people in an area that is uninhabitable. Throwing money down the drain. A lot of people did not have their homes and boats insured. If these people choose to live in these disaster areas, then insurance should be a must, not an option. Insurance companies are not going to take the risk on homes in these areas. Again...lack of knowledge is a problem and you proved my point by saying you did not understand my argument.
@Joey's TenPercent the dam that breeched and flooded 60 homes....maybe a Dem would have paid more attention to the infrastructure instead of worrying about which books to ban and what Disney does.
A handful of dirt poor fishermen look resilient enough to survive in the hardscrabble aftermath. The rest of the population probably need to get off low lying barrier islands altogether. Stupid to build there in the first place. Make it all a public park.
It sure would be nice if Florida could show a little gratitude to the rest of America for bailing them out again. Rather than just demanding the aid while holding out one hand and giving America the finger with the other.
I live in Central Florida and live on Social Security Disability. The rents are going up already in Florida. I was lucky to get into a senior building in Central Florida 2 years ago. It is income regulated but my rent is still going up almost $100 a month since I moved here two years ago. There already is a housing shortage for seniors and the poor in Florida. I do not know how these people are going to make it. I was smart and moved away from the coast 2 years ago and I am happy that I did so. l formerly lived in New Smyrna Beach and so many people were flooded there and are now heading home to a mess. Their homes are not liveable. Those poor people in SW Florida will suffer for months. It will take that long to get power back and to clean up the mess. Where will they stay at? What if we get another hurricane?
Bless you General for your practical realism. "Got to make some changes".
WHO ARE YOU ????? SAYING WE GOT TO MAKE SOME CHANGES ..... THERE IS NO WE ......
Lt. General Honore, Thank you for your wisdom and experience in what to do during and after a hurricane. You are a leader indeed.
I am a retired shrimp boat capt. The problem is that usually government programs give money and loans to the boat owners, while the crew members are considered self employed and don't qualify for aid. It's always easy to say we helped, when the ones that need it most get nothing.
How do these individuals vote usually? Do they often vote for policies and policy makers that consistently block funding for public services and sensible climate change actions? Will this or any life changing event have any affect on their voting in the near future?
They need to form collectives….don’t pay the sharks….be self insured with others.
@@powerWithinUs4055 that sounds like socialism
@@crismcdonough2804 Collectives….hardly socialism, do you think? Collective farming, collective housing, collective intelligence.
it’s when people who have a shared interest come together. Can’t keep up with insurance rates, people go without entirely.
Better…pool the insurance money that actually gets paid out when it's needed. People with a shared interest, no tax, no handout,
no corporate greed.
Devise a new way, this isn’t working. Call it money pools. Anything to keep Tuckerisms down.
Yeah, Tuck. Probably call the Penny dish socialism…
need a Penny? Take a Penny. Have a Penny? Leave a Penny.
This is the effects of the storm surge. In a hurricane, the wind is not the most dangerous, it is the water 🌊.
I pray people wake up and start believing in climate change
Good Luck, this will get twisted in a way that is more likely to be the deniers doubling down, and driving the wedge deeper.
If the rich there, aren't helping the poor, I can't help......
These residents need to leave and never come back. The government needs to administer grants for them to relocate and start over. An alternative would be to rezone these areas to support better hurricane resistant residential buildings, no homes ever again. Another option is to support the building of next gen mobile homes like from Boxabl that are able to be relocated during a time of emergencies. But rebuilding what was there should not be allowed to happen. Hurricanes, rising ocean levels and other natural disasters aren’t going anywhere.
Funny thing is, most of these people affected criticize the government until they really need them. Sorry people, the idea of small government will never be able to handle disasters like this. A large, more socialistic government would be better suited to support the needs of the people. A more federalized government, not states that only allocate resources to the rich of their constituents.
Didn't the insurance companies stop allowing home insurance policies/ claims from the last hurricane???
Why dont we "conscript" some Russian luxury yachts or some unused cruiseships to park just off the coast. Those things gotta be able to house a few people for a bit...
DeSantis might have some Russian friends to help with that. After all, everybody should have skin in the game.
Maralago has 126 rooms. Of course trump would charge the taxpayer a premium price.
We Love General Honore. Thank you both for this news.Its the less fortunate that always get forgotten.AndcWedo hear you.I have sooo many loved ones, that lived thru this horrific storms We're already gathering items along with others here to bring to Forida.🙏❤️😌
Thoughts and prayers go out to these people
There’s absolutely no reason to be living on a barrier island …Mother Nature created these islands to protect the coasts…
give FL a one time payment and eject them from the USA
Any financial aid should be to either move or rebuild to withstand a storm. Anything else is insanity.
We have to find temporary hotel housing then transition them into other areas of Florida. Living on the coastline isn't feasible anymore.
For years I have been talking about stopping building on the barrier islands!!!!
Building in low lying coastal regions needs to stop. Storms and sea level rise make it untenable.
It does not make sense to rebuild where another hurricane can destroy everything again.
IAN is a rewrite of history, but not because it came ashore as a cat 4, General. Because it displaced water like no other in Florida's history. Whether were turning into a New Orleans, Bangkok... saucer shaped, overflow depository, or its a global warming tweak, remains to be seen. Either way, too many of those people know; reloading, rebuilding... is not an option.
That is not rewriting history. That is making history.
And those same people will vote Ron Desantis back into office. Not even this will change the tide of our dangerous political partisanship.

Florida now has its own refugee crisis!!! I pray that the inhumane indifference callously demonstrated by the Republican players DeSantis et al is not the same for the poor of Florida. Let's see what happens. God bless the poor everywhere.
Wonder if DeSantis is rethinking his stunt of using the Florida taxpayers' hard-earned monies on political theater.
Look out for those Gators. I guess they have been seen in the flood waters of Orlando. Be careful folks
I hope any Floridians who saw California's climate issues as "their" problem for the state to solve now have a better perspective. All of our citizens and states need the help of the collective. Federal money is socialism at its finest. All of our taxes collectively helping when it is needed. One more reason corporations and billionaires should pay their fair share of federal taxes.
You got that right!
The question becomes, if it's worth rebuilding in the hurricane 🌀 path again?
Problem: every hurricane takes a different path.
@@lindaj5492 funny how this one took the same path as Charlie.
That money for that private flight could definitely have been better spent. There was already a housing shortage.
The only way to encourage folks to move is to pay them to go or pull all government money from them and drive them away.
What would really help them would be to learn to not rebuild in a place that gets destroyed by hurricanes every year. Hard to feel bad for people dying from stupid. Every year we hear someone say "I didn't think it be that bad!" And "we should have evacuated" yet like an Alzheimer's patient, all of that is completely forgotten the moment the last raindrop hits.
@Saving Democracy your right!!! I should just live and let stupid wipe itself out. Not worry about it ...and smile every year when it's on the news! Thank you for opening my eyes to the miracle of natural selection.
@Saving Democracy if they are in control- then they can figure it out themselves. Save our tax dollars.

Fema trailers won't work on the coast because there will be more hurricanes coming. People need to move inland. They need to take care of when & where they settle.
Hey America, the quicker you can rebuild Florida, the sooner they can get back to waving their confederate flags in your face while demanding a civil war.
How many giant cruise ships can you rent for $12 million? It seems like this would be a better use of taxpayer dollars during this housing catastrophe. Everyone could be housed until they got back on their feet, right?

It is a bitter pill for people to swallow, but this is not the first, nor will it be the last time in America that people have to move from where they are to begin anew. In this case it was a hurricane. I am waiting for the great migration of people from areas that no longer have the water to sustain them or have become so arid that it is not possible to reside there.
Everyone has forgotten Porto Rico and how devastated they were and no one follows up! Are they second class American citizens?
They built their homes on a sand pile on the coast then they get washed away and everyone's surprised wth.
I don't want to make this about me.. But let me just say6 this. I am a victim of a flash flood, I had flood insurance and I have sense been flooded out 6 more times.. No one came to help me not one person.. No one.. I live in an area that isn't dotted with million dollar homes... our neighborhood is a small.. and it could easily have been fixed and we could have easily and cheaply been helped.. But Nope that did not happen.. and yes we did ask.. Sure I was able to get a few bucks. from FEMA Flood insurance. sure the city and state got millions .. to do flood mitigation work.. Bottom line.. don't hold your breath.. do not repair flooded homes.. move out if you get any money take it and go. If it flooded once it will flood again and if you live it that flooded home it will make you sick... you just won't know it for years but when you do find out you are sick from mold, PTSD and years of stress... well. no one will be there for ya,
Maybe the weather is trying to equalize things. Mother Nature wants thing the way she wants things. Not necessarily the way we want them.....

Given that climate change is going to keep going until human behaviors change enough to bring temperatures down, it would seem wise for people living in hurricane zones to move further inland and find other means of making livings. Because it appears that these catastrophic hurricanes are going to keep happening. As are the catastrophic fires happening in the west, where I live. We're moving towards building with non-wood materials to stop feeding fire. Hoping everyone puts their heads together and make their futures safer.
Gotta love the Lt. General.
Yep. Flood zones, deserts, and places that burn so frequently, no one can get fire insurance. This will require sacrifices on large scales.
